    A video that I shot is pixelated and blurry. I think I have the wrong codec.

      Hello!

         I shot footage on a decent camera (not HD)- a Canon Vixia HFM30, it should have decent picture quality. I've seen the difference between HD and regular video footage, but this is horrible. It was exported onto a Mac on iMovie, then transferred to my Mac Book Pro. I tried to do some research online; it pointed toward downloading or purchasing the appropriate codec. While reading an article on Apple's website it said to go to >Finder, then the file, then >get info >Name & Extension to find the extension being used. I didn't see any extension. I know what they're referring to. Below are some links to articles I came across and I wasn't able to download anything helpful, either it doesn't download or doesn't help me.
