Robson, which windows version do you have and also have you updated your movie maker recently? You might need a patch or an upgrade is all I can think? Makes no sense to me but mine works fine. Tell me which windows you're using and I'll see if I can find out. You can always go to the WMM FAQ's and forum for answers. (use ask.com too)

For Jack and Carolyn.
About the list of the movie with the orders 1,2,3 etc...or A, B, C. I use this simple trick.
I just order the movie files with the date! Then, It's done.
Regards, Antonio

Hi Robson. I was thinking of the player, not the movie maker it seems:o), although microsoft has upgraded versions of each. XP comes with compatability for WMM so thats probably not the issue but you can run the wizard on your computer to check it. Right click on WMM. Go to properties. Find the compatability tab. Click on the link at the bottom of the page where it says, 'learn more about program compatability'

It'll run a wizard for you that can check this. (even tho compatability is not supposed to be part of Windows XP). It maybe also that you need a codec? They are kinda like a patch I believe and know that many times programs need them to work properly.

I found a forum and a lot of other answers for this by simply doing a google search for the keywords 'can't import .avi files into windows movie maker'. Do you get windows automatic updates? Also, what was the error message you got when you tried to import the .avi files?

Jhon, did you get the Prism Pro version. If not, please remove the regular prism and go back and download the prism pro. If you did get the pro version, then I have no clue?

I went out and purchased a wonderful video editing software for my JVC movies - "Cyblerlink PowerDirector 7". I paid some $70 for it, but I love it. You can edit movies straight out of your JVC camera, without converting them, so that you can burn them onto DVDs and not lose any quality, such as you do when you convert MOD to avi or wmv for editing in Windows Movie Maker. It works much the same as WMM, you can add your own music, add transitions, (they have awesome 'liquid' transitions!) movie titles, all the stuff you can do in WMM, but on steroids!

No, I don't own stock on Cyberlink, lol, but thought if anyone was interested in paying for a good editing software, this is one I would personally recommend..

I bought my JVC everio GZ-MG330 HDD camcorder a week ago and I have no problem playing the .mod mpg files.I'm running Vista HP.I'm really surprised I haven't had to rename any of the mpg.mod files I've created.Windows media player plays them fine.I'm glad I don't have the problem but what puzzles me is why?
Robson
2008-06-24 22:13:42
Do you know where i can get this codec?
Robson
2008-06-25 15:38:55
mark, I dont have any problem PLAYING the file;i can do that. The problem that i have is getting Windows Movie Maker to edit them. Have you tried doing that, if you do then maybe you'll see what we're talking about.

Hi, I am from Brazil and I have just found this forum that seems to be very helpful. I have some doubts: how is the video quality after convert from .MOD to .AVI using Prism? After edit it using Windows Movie Maker, how can I save the movie and watch it on a DVD player? (I mean, what program do u use and do I need to convert it to another format in order to watch it in a DVD player).

Thank you.

Thanks again,

Robson, please tell us the error message you get when you try to import .avi file to WMM. Where do you have the files stored on your computer?
Also did you do what I suggested and do a google search for your query. If so, you can find the codec in your search which might help you.
Jhon, I have no idea why the pro version works for some people and why it doesn't for others. When I originally installed it, it didn't recognize the .mod files. When I went to convert to .avi, it automatically updated itself, then made the conversions. I would head to the prism forum or help desk or faq's to find the answer.

Hey Carolyn,

I downloaded prism and the program said it downloaded but then they won't play on windows media player. What do i do? I went from .mod to .mpg help?

thanks =]

Ha Jason, You have windows I assume? I think I originally converted to .mpg's on mine too, but my WMM wouldn't accept or play them either. Try converting to .avi and let me know if that works.

Robson, I was looking over the options in WMM. Go to tools and then click on options. In the general tab, you can check a box that says 'download codecs automatically'. Try this and then see if your computer downloads anything. (you must be online obviously)

I was also under options, advanced, there is are radio buttons that allow you to control the aspect ratio of either 4:3(regular) or 16:9(widescreen). Has anyone tried this that was having a problem?

Ok I have a dual quad core mac pro running vista 64 bit and I have adobe cs3 and all the suggestion didn't work for me. My friend shot videos at my house I copied them off and changing the file extension worked to view and maybe to goto DVD but like others I do this for the web. I needed a good flv file for the web. All solution cost money. I found a solution for free @ www.alldj.com/products.htm and at the bottom of list is Download JVC MOD MPG Rebuilder - freeware and It worked great with sound. Try it and see if it works for you.

Now I opened the mpg file it created and Premiere pro cs3 still had no sounds but after effects did then converted it to flv and it worked great. It so strange that Premiere pro cs3 didn't read the audio.

Also I tried the mpg is windows movie maker and it worked also with audio.

To steve in FL

Do you take it strait from *.mov DVD without any frame loss ?
steve in FL
2008-07-07 18:27:11
Hakon, My camera saves the movies with a .MOD extension, not .mov... but otherwise that's correct. I copy the movie files from the camera to a folder on my computer, then edit it with PowerDirector(trim clips, add music, add transitions, remove shakiness, etc).. when I am happy with it, I can burn it right to a DVD and its the same awesome quality.

To Anthony Lawrence

Hi, what about the video quality after converting to .mpeg using JVC MOD MPG Rebuilder? Btw, what program do you use to burn it in a DVD?
Hakon in Norway
2008-07-08 15:54:44
yes it's *.mod, I have tried it out today, PowerDirector is wonderful.

Hey Carolyn

I converted it to avi, it'll play on windows media player, but when I try to put it in windows movie maker...not working, it wouldn't go into the media library

Then afterwards, the mpeg went in with sound...but no video
lol

Thanks for the help!

Hi MW and Jack.

Could you please explain us in a more clear way (step-by-step) the procedure to create the batch file. I mean for instance where we have to put this file. How can we work with it.
Please be more clear for me and maybe for someone else.
Thank you. Bye. Antonio

For Kyleigh Lambert.
Nothing wrong I guess. Link correctly the camcorder to the PC and just download photos. Remember to delete 'em from camcorder if you don't also want them anymore.
Let us know.

Steve in FL....

Does Cyblerlink PowerDirector 7 bring the time / date stamp from the video? If it does, it may be the answer to my problem.
