getting my movies off my panasonic dvr-d50

[retrospects]

i got a panasonic dvr-d50 dvd camcorder for my trip to mexico.....
well tested out to make sure it worked, got some DVD-RW disks and filled them up in mexico.
well when i got home i finalized the disks and pluged my camcorder into my mini and its in a format that will not read on my mac.
tried coppying them to my dell laptop and then moving them one at a time from a 2gb sd card but it says unix exc file....
i am stumped, and help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

If the DVDs have been properly finalized, you can use MPEG Streamclip to demux/convert the DVD's VOB files into whatever format your NLE needs.
