Use the USB cable to connect the camera to the computer. Switch the camera on. Launch the iMovie application. Select Import from Camera... from iMovie's File menu.
Connect the camera to your Mac and run the iMovie program. iMovie should recognise your camera and you can then import your video.
The GZ-MG330 has been tested with iMovie 09 (See links below) and just needs to be connected to the Mac with the USB cable. Switch the camera on and select it's Playback on PC setting. Launch iMovie and import the video for editing and sharing.

The following instructions will work with any digital camcorder that has a Firewire port (including the TRV-310): To transfer digital video from your digital camcorder to your Mac, simply plug the camcorder into power, put it in playback mode, and use a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire (also known as IEEE 1394a, or i.Link) cable to connect the IEEE 1394 / i.Link port on the camcorder to the Firewire port on the Mac. Once connected, launch iMovie on the Mac, move the switch underneath the preview pane to the camera icon (in iMovie HD and earlier), and import the footage.
To transfer movies from the Sony DCR-TRV19 you need to connect the camera to the computer with a FireWire cable (Sony calls FireWire iLink but it is the same thing). iMovie will recognise the camera and let you control the camera's operations from within iMovie. in iMovie select Import From Camera in the File menu.
The Google Earth tour video has to be formatted for iMovie - DV (Digital Video) stream.
The camera will mount on the desktop as a USB drive. The videos can be imported directly into iMovie (assuming it is a fairly recent version). You should probably avoid recording video in the WVGA format which is not iMovie friendly and will need converting.
You can record video from the built in camera directly into iMovie, PhotoBooth or any other application that recognizes the camera.
