Be very careful with transferring to the Mac and then deleting files on 
the Xacti.

I burned myself a few years ago by believing I had transferred 
everything to my Mac, and then doing a "Delete All" on the Xacti 
itself.  I haven't used the Xacti for about a year, but if I recall 
correctly, I used the "PictBridge" function which only transferred JPEG 
images and not videos.   When I did a "Delete All" on the camera it 
deleted photos and videos, so I lost my latest batch of videos.

You may be seeing a similar issue.  Are you using "PictBridge" (or 
whatever it's called)?  I can't offer much help since my Xacti has died 
and I've forgotten the details, maybe someone more experienced with the 
Xacti can rephrase my warning a little more accurately.

I found that by using the USB "Disk" option, iPhoto could be used to 
import photos and videos.

I wish I could be more sure what the gotcha was, but please be careful.
