Hi I have just brought a jvc GZ-MG132 and am trying to transfer my video files to my movie magix edit pro 10 editing programme and it is not recognizing it, i tried using the firewire cable that i used from my old camera and it doesnt fit into new cam, can anyone please help????

To those who have suffered the wraith of JVC's MOD file issues I have found on the following website by far the easist way to change a large batch of file extensions to MPEG's http://dandavis.com/batch-alteration-of-file-extensions-in-windows-xp/

Simply right click on your video folder open command prompt copy and paste the following: FOR %F IN (*.MOD) DO rename %F %~nF.MPG
then hit enter if you find when you open the command prompt it has "name" not recognised you may need to remove the name of the folder and change it back later.
for example "josh and alex" and "sara and josh" for some reason i found there were some words that were repeated that it did not like so i change the folder name to just a date.

Hi all...I personally found all these different comments from different people very useful. Totally agree, the video format needs to be converted to MPEG2 but this did not solve my problem. The reason why the audio will not play when you burn your video to DVD is because of the Audio format. These files recorded with the JVC HDD Cam have AC3 Audio format which apparently are not supported by DVD. Change Video to MPEG2 and the Audio to MP3 and then burn them to DVD/VCD and it works perfectly...Video and Audio both perfect!...Hope this helps u all!

Hi.

Hello:

I will really appreciate if someone can answer my question regarding prism I am trying to convert .VOB to MPG, I have version 1.17 of prism installed (free trial). It only converts 22 seconds of the 30 minute video. Yes I have tried saving the Video on my local drive, and the video that i am trying to convert does not have copyrights on it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a JVC Everio GZ-MG130 and am trying to find a video editing program that will allow me to show the date/time stamp on the video when converting it to MPEG file on the computer. I see several out there, however, either they require an IEEE cable (not a USB cable) or do not support the file type outputted by the camera. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

.mod to .avi or any other extension.

My JVC came with Cyberlink software that will produce the .mod files in any format you wish.

I actually make them in to .avi's and put them on to my mac in Imovie.

works like a charm!

I am very new to converting files and I am VERY lost. I am in the same situation as most of you with the JVC camera. I tried following Carolyn[HELPER] steps and I am lost from the very beginning. I downloaded the program to the link you posted, but I am unsure as to what to do next. All of my videos are in the browse videos portion of the program I downloaded onto my computer that came with the camera. Can someone help me and breakdown the steps a little further? Thank you so much!

What software do I use to build a TV Movie out of several of the .MOD files and burn it to a DVD? I would also like to use pictures in this movie. CyberLink only converts to AVI & MPEGs. Also, when creating an 18 min. AVI file, Cyberlink gave me an error of the file being to big??? What is the largest size acceptable in terms of minutes?

Elizabeth, go back to page one of this forum and the steps are clearly laid out for you. Basically however, once you have the prism installed on your computer, plug in your camcorder to upload your movie. When the task manager pops up, click on 'save files to computer'. Once you do that, you will see a list of mpeg2 files (mod) and other files.

For movies, use the mod files only. If you have 3 of them, minimize your .mod files, then add a new folder (or 3 new folders) to your desktop. Label them like a, b, c, d, etc. I use separate folders to keep them all straight but you can use one folder for all of them if you like.

Once you have that done, open your prism converter. Minimize it. Go back to your mod files and click/highlight the first one. Open the prism file and drag and drop the first .mod file to your prism. Then find and select the folder you want to create the files in on your desktop (a, b, c, d, etc.) AND choose your extension.

Use .avi extension for PC's or .mpg for MAC's. Then click on 'convert' in Prism. Do each mod file the same way. Drag and drop. You can also drag and drop them all into the prism and convert them all at one time. Both ways are a bit time consuming but relatively take the same amount of time. Just depends on how you like to do things.

After you're done, turn off your camera and disconnect it from your computer. Open Windows Movie Maker and import your files, one at a time. You are now ready to drag and drop your movie into the timeline and create it. Its really easy if you follow each step.

A Rahman - Use the same technique. You must convert your files to either .avi or .mpg to use them in WMM.

Thanks MW! You saved my day before Thanksgiving.

I have a new Dell PC with a Vista home basic OS. I can open and play my home made everio videos with PowerCinema NE but I am unable to produce DVD's. I click in the videos I wish to copy to DVD and get the following message (Do you want to make a disc with these files? DVD disc, 31 items with 0.0 MB to F:TSSTcorpDVD+-H653FD200).

I click OK and receive the following message (An error occurred. PowerCinema NE for Everio cannot finish the specificied task. Error code 80004005)

I used this program on my old PC which had an XP OS and it worked fine.

Any suggestions as to how this problem can be solved would be greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards,

Bill
