To steve in FL

Do you take it strait from *.mov DVD without any frame loss ?

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.

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?

yes it's *.mod, I have tried it out today, PowerDirector is wonderful.

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

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.

I'm not sure I understand your question, bikekadude. It does retain the creation date/timestamp property, and will update the date modified property when you edit it.. or are you talking about the timestamp shown overlayed on the movie itself? I'm not familiar with that, because I believe that's a setting on your camera that you can turn on/off.. I have mine disabled, so I don't have that timestamp on my movies. Sorry if this doesn't help.

Kyleigh,

I got all confused about this too but it's real easy. When you hook your camera up to the computer, move the button on the camera on your pictures, not video. Then turn on your camcorder onto "playback" position.

After you do this, the task manager should popup on your screen and ask you: What do you want to do with these files? Then it'll give you a choice of where to put them. Simply choose where you want them to go and they'll start transferring onto your computer. I used my photo files for example, but you could put them in 'my pictures' or anywhere else you want them to go. You need to have picture software to edit them though.

I just downloaded the prism converter to convert my .mod files from my JVC camcorder, but the 16:9 ratio flag still isn't right. The videos are still being smashed into 4:3 and i've adjusted all the settings I have access to.

hi all

what a useful forum...

when using my files from everio they seem to be incredibly big (multiple gb)is this simply down to my recording quality? and...

a quick question about powerdirector express (free version that comes with everio). it seems to have a 3.8gb file limit on it (about 3mins or so of vid) when producing videos. is this the case for everyone? i'm trying to make a montage of holiday vids (30 or so mins i guess)

i tried converting .mod to .avi and then using adobe prem 6 to edit. unfortunately when exported from there, there is no sound or video! perhaps an issue with vista (one of many!!)

frustrated

I am looking for a prog that will convert .MOI files in to .MOD? And wondering why my camera is storing vids as these two different formats and not just one type?

Bikekadude

Steve in FL, I was referring to the time / date stamp overlayed on the movie itself. Even with the feature enabled on the camera, it won't download video into a PC with the stamp. You have to buy the JVC Sharestation DVD burner ($200). Based on other forums I've seen, about half of them don't work. Its been really frustrating.

Also, if you go to the website below you can download a tool called SDCopy which will pull video straight off of the camera and convert the .mod files to .mpg and maybe some other formats. It also has a check box for 16:9 aspect. I havent tried the widscreen functionality yet but forums on CNET's website all speak highly of it. It does take some time so be patient.

BenW, Have you tried using Windows Movie Maker? I know there is no time limit of time there. I think (a long time ago) I used the freeware you get with the camcorder, (powerdirector express) and had no problem with longer movies. See if you can find any updates you are lacking from Microsoft. I have no clue about Vista. I bought a new computer last year and opted not to get Vista because of the problems I'd heard about. (although I don't think it has anything to do with this) And yes, your files are rather large when you import them and may 'blow up' exponentially when you convert them. No one seems to understand why. Thats why it's always good to have lots of GB!

Bikekadude, thanks for the great tip about the SD copy. Thats good news for a bunch of people in here!

Hi, all.

Well, I used the "Prism Converter" and it works.
But when I play my video, there's no sound at all.
I'm not sure if anyone asked this question, but yeah.
If anyone can help me. Thank You So Much!

Mary, please give us specifics. What did you convert the files to? Did you check the movies for sound before you uploaded them? Using MAC or windows? If you are using windows, which version? Did you check the volume controls on your computer? Any other details are always helpful.

Hi all

I rename .MOD file to MPG this is very easy, the only problem I am having now is I do use prism to convert to mp4 but on this conversion there is no sound?
I have done this before and there was no problem.

I have a JVC GZ-MG132 camcorder. I've not edited with it yet, but have transferred contents of hard drive to PC using provided Enverio software. Have also purchased Ulead Vieostudio 11.5+. Not used it yet as need to upgrade PC spec to run software.

Has anyone used Ullead 11.5+ to edit files? If so, how have people found it for editing? I've got to film in about 2 weeks, and am reluctant to wipe recorded hard drive content before editing. Should i delete all content? Can i edit content from using Ulead if transferred to PC? Thanks, jazzymazzy

Stoner Matt- All you have to do is change the file extension from .mod to .mpg. Then the files will open in Windows Movie Maker. Unfortunately, if you recorded in 16:9 it will squish the movie into 4:3. I haven't found a way to get around this yet. I seen about a couple 'free' downloads that are supposed to work, like SDcopy, but I'm wary of downloading unknown stuff off the net.

Hi,

I was having trouble converting the .MOD files to .avi or .mpg using Prism Video Converter. I would get audio but no video on the resulting files. I went into Options > Conversion and enabled the "Use FFMPEG First" option by checking the box. This made it work like a charm.

Carolyn you are a saint.

Thanks
