use the media player classic..

the best and uses realy low memory!:)
and sice the videos dont show up check if they are hidden.
check in the control panel and switch to showing hidden files.
are u using a card reader then check it thoroughly coz usually they tend to mess up

What format is the video from the camcorder? .mp4, .qt, mpg2 ... ?

Most likely your PC needs a codec . Or use a universal videoplayer that can play anything, like VLC. http://www.videolan.org/
