Mac won't read video files from memory card

So I have a Lumix DMC-G3, and most of the time when I do video it works well and the mac can read it.


But I guess few times the settings were on something else, so it didn't record as a MOV, and when I try to import my videos, the Mac can't even recognize it.


How do I get my mac to recognize all types of video files?


P.S. It's able to recognize all the photo files, just not all the video files. The video files won't even show up when I go through finder to look at it in the folder.
But I know they're there because when I put the memory in my camera, it shows up in my camera

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 11.3, null

If your card is showing in the Finder, have you looked into all sub folders on the card?

but when I put the memory card into my mac, it doesn't recognize it at all, so I can't see it on my mac.

Do you mean the Mac does not recognize the card at all, not even Photos? Take a few photos with the camera, so the photos may trigger the card to show.

Can you see the videos, if you keep the card in the camera, change the mode of the camera to connect to the computer, then connect the camera to a USB port?
