Getting Videos Off The Camera

I watched your video and it says MAC's have a hard time getting vidoes off the camera but i have a PC and can't get them off.  I tried contacting the support for the camera but so far no success.  When I plug the camera into my computer, my computer knows its there but it won't get any pics or videos off of it.
