How do I transfer pictures and videos taken with my iPhone 4 to my pc?

I'm a little lost as to how can I transfer the pictures and videos that I've taken with my iPhone 4 to my pc. When I sync on iTunes, it does not transfer any of the pics or videos. What am I missing?

I have recorded several videos that's apparently too big to transfer. They are 400MB+ each. Found the solution to my problem after some research:

I had the same problem for movies above 340 MB, but not for movies a little less than 200 MB. What worked for me was to do the backup, then look into the Backup folder (usually under something like "C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\). Sorting by size, it showed files that had the same size as my huge movies. I copied those files and renamed them with a .mov extension. Those were the movies. And I was able to see them with QuickTime. I then deleted the movie from the iPhone.

The following method appears foolproof when done on a Mac. Haven't tried it w/ iTunes on a PC.

1. Plug in iPhone4 to Mac. Run iTunes if it does not run automatically. Select the 'Movies' icon on the left. You need to be viewing your movie library for the procedure to work.
2. Run iPhoto.
3. In iPhoto, locate the videos you want to import from your iPhone. Select each video in turn, and import each into a separate iPhoto event.
4. Open a Finder Window
5. Locate your Pictures folder and navigate into it. You should see an item called 'iPhoto Library'. Right click and select 'Show Package Contents'
6. Navigate to the 'Originals' folder, and then to the <year> folder for the year in which the movies were taken (most likely, 2010 right now, given when the iPhone 4 was released!)
7. Your movies are hiding in folders named for the events. The are .MOV files.
8. Select the movie you want to transfer, and then just drag and drop it into your iTunes Movie library.

iTunes does the rest, copying the file, indexing it and displaying it in your Movie library. You can rename the movie once it's in iTunes to something other than the default 'IMG_nnnn.MOV' format.

If you then go to the 'Movies' tab, you should be able to select the movies for sync to the iPhone (which is handy, since they then show up as iPod videos, my preference). You can then safely delete the from the camera roll (and from iPhoto, if you like).

That's it!

Connect your phone to your computer:

If mac - open image capture.
If windows - open image and scanner wizard.

Copy / Import all the pics / videos to a folder on the hard drive (ie My Pictures).
