iMovie '11 on Mountain Lion does not see Canon Vixia HG20, Lion does

I have 2 Canon Vixia HG20s and an HG21 that I had previously used with iMovie. When I plug the cameras into any of my Mountain Lion systems, iMovie does not see the camera to import from. On my MacBook it only sees the EyeSight camera.


I know I had imported from these cameras when I was still running Lion. In fact, I still have one Mini running Lion Server. I installed iMovie onto it and plugged in one the HG20s. It immediately recognized it and offered to import the videos. I unplugged it and immediately moved it to the MacBook with Mountain Lion, and it's not recognized.


The one thing I'm not sure I have tried is on another Mini that was upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I will be trying that tonight.


What can be done to allow me to import my videos, something I USED TO be able to do?


Thanks!

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I'm having the same issue. I just got off the phone with an Apple Tech that told me that Mountain Lion does NOT like some MiniDV camcorders (both of mine as well). I've started another thread to see if anyone knows of a MiniDV cam that Mountain Lion 10.8.2 WILL import from...
