Q. I bought this camcorder thinking that I will be able for echoed videos and then show it to everyone.. When I tried to do it on a mac it's saying that it can't read the program.
A. You did not tell us which Mac, which version OSX or what application your are trying to use to get to the video.
The Canon Legria (PAL localized - the Vixia is NTSC localized) HF R205 is a great entry level consumer camcorder that records very compressed AVCHD format video to MTS (or M2TS) files.
We'll need this (link to the camcorder manual):

Your Mac does not need - and cannot use - the software that was included in the box with the camcorder. For that matter, neither do computers on Windows, but Windows users *think* they need it...
Assuming your Mac is relatively new, you have two options:
1) Connect the camcorder's USB port to the Mac's USB port and turn the camcorder on. Put the camcorder into video Playback mode (see page 28 in the manual). If any applications (like iPhoto) start, after they are "stable" quit them. Launch iMovie. Under "File", select Import or Capture. Follow the prompts...
If this does not work,
2) If the memory appears on the Mac's desktop, you can locate the video files in the folders... You can copy the MTS files to your Mac.
DO NOT CHANGE the names of the files on the camcorder's memory card;
DO NOT MOVE the files on the on the camcorder's memory card;
DO NOT USE THE COMPUTER to delete the files on the camcorder's memory card.
Just copy the the MTS files to your Mac's hard drive...
If this does not work,
3) Use a card reader. Take the memory card out of the camcorder, put it into a card reader connected to the computer. As indicated in option 2, copy the MTS files to your Mac.

In the case of options 2 and 3, if you want to playback the video, Quicktime cannot do that. Download and install VLC Player from www.videoLAN.org.
If you want to edit the video, you will need to transcode (convert) the MTS files to MOV or MP4 files so iMovie can deal with them. MPEG Streamclip from www.squared5.com is a good transcoder there are many others. After the video is converted, launch iMovie and either drag the converted file to the library or use the "Import Movie" command (under "File") to bring them in to the iMovie video editing application.
