MAJOR Troubleshooting

Ok, so after about 3 days of frustration, cursing all of existence, and maybe a few tears, I have fixed my once working, then broken, brand fucking new camera. Last time I will buy a JVC camcorder to use with a Mac. I finally broke down and BOUGHT (Imagine that) a patch I needed to allow this open source program to convert these fucked up file formats. Fuck JVC and Fuck Apple for making me spend $21 on a patch that is only 1.5 MB!! Its a $500 camera. Couldn't they have gone the little extra mile to use a UNIVERSAL FILE FORMAT?! Fucktards. Ugh. Anyways, all is well now and the movie-making can recommence. Praise Allah
