If you're not getting sound when playing back in a media player, you might not have an AC3 decoder installed since the audio on some models (such as my panasonic) are recorded in AC3. You could always google ac3filter and install that, and that'll usually provide the codec for the sound playback and decoding.

Kuhlbreeze, could you please be more specific about what you're trying to get across. I do not understand your problem exactly. "No matter which viewer I use"??? Are you talking about 'Movie Maker' or 'Quick Time Player'? (or other movie editing software)

Hello everyone,

I have a JVC Everio GZ-MG135 and I am using PowerDirector Express to convert my MOD files to AVI. Actually I have 3 or 4 for MOD files and I am merging all of them and re-saving as a one big AVI file. When I am watching each of those MOD files from Camcorder on TV I can see time and date stamps. But When I am re-saving as a AVI file the program doesn't keep that stamp.

Can you please advise me what exactly I can do to keep that stamp in my AVI file. Thank you.

Siaruzb, are you using the 'events mode' when you take the video? This is the only way I could figure that you might be able to save the time stamp. From previous comments about the time stamp, this seems to be one of the many things that JVC failed to equip thorough instructions for with this camcorder. I've read over the 'instructions book' several times. This was the only way I could see to do it. I haven't tried it yet but according to the instructions, you should be able to do it this way.

Thank you very much Carolyn for your comment. I trying to apply different Events but again there is no date and time stamp in my final AVI file. Events Mode doesn't work too.

I was able to use Prism and convert the .mod to .avi with no problem.

When I try and view the videos in Windows media player I get sound but no video.

Any help would be appreciated.

Siaruzb ans Sandy,

I bought a JVC Everio GZMG-130 about a month ago in hopes of using for survaylance and bring a DVD into court. I found out the hard way that the camera will not bring the time/date stamp into the downloaded video unless you use the JVC "Share Station" ($200). BUT, if you use this Share Station thing, you cannot edit the video before the DVD burn. I called JVC support and the technician (Carlos) confirmed this. I asked why such a dumb move on JVCs part and he said "that the way we make'em". Not a good answer. I believe you can get the time/date if you download from the camera to a VCR or DVD recorder but again, no editing. Pretty lousy move on JVCs part.

If anyone knows a way to get the time/date stamp to show up on downloaded video, please let me know as I'm out $400 on this camera.

OK, I want to convert my *.MOD to *.MPEG4. Is there a freeware software converter available ? Do I have to purchase a program ? I want to convert to MPEG4 so I can
transfer video to my smart phone.

Frustrating !!!!!!!

Todd, I just checked the prism software and it lets you convert to '.mp4. I assume that is mpeg4? Have you tried it? Prism is free ware and you can download it quickly and easily. It's worked for just about every other extension we've tried so give it a go! Let us know if it works. Thanks!

I have the JVC Everio and after saving my videos to my laptop, I could play back in win media player but there was no sound. After following Karl Blessing's suggestion of downloading the AC3Filter, it worked! I now can have sound!

Thank Karl!

Next step is converting the MOD files. I'm going to try the Power Director Express that a few of you mentioned here.

Hi Siaruzb

I have it! After much time and despair, you need to use the docking station and then capture, I use Adobe Premier Elements (fantastic and always used this for the mini digital tapes on my old camcorder). It will take longer, but works. Once you have captured and saved as a single avi, you can then run it through software (freeware) called dvdate. Works a treat. Is a bit tricky to use, but once you know how it is great. You cannot use power director and then make files into one avi. The date and time stamp will disappear. Let me know. thanks L

Hi there guys,

I have an Apple Mac and received a JVC Enviro Hard Disk Camcorder ( GZ-MG135 ) as a gift. Lucky me, except that I am not computer nor camcorder literate! Seems a waste of these beautiful pieces of equipment on somebody with no idea so here I am trying not to be overwhelmed as I search for a way to transfer footage to computer and then onto DVD. My daughter tried to transfer using the manual but the icon ( which represents the recording medium in camera did not appear on the desktop ) I have iMovie 08 on my Mac. Does anybody know what we need to do so as to make proper use of these scary and expensive stress-makers!

Forgive my lack of knowledge but with baby-steps I hope to begin an exciting new journey.

Thank you for any help you may be able to give me.

I have converted the .mod files to .mpg files and they will not burn onto a disc using any brand of software. I tried it with the Cyberlink software that came with the camera and I used Nero. I even tried just copying it as a data disc, it wouldn't burn it that way either. I've gone through a dozen discs trying to get these to burn and am really frustrated. I'm on the verge of taking the camera back. Can anyone offer any help?

Hi Lisa,

After posting a message here I have called to JVC and they did confirm that there is no way to keep time and date stamp in final AVI file. Then I just return my comcorder to store.

Actually I need a comcorder but I don't know really wich one to buy.

MRM, have you tried downloading the movie to your DVD recorder/player? If your DVD player has a recorder, then that might be your answer, instead of messing with the computer. (or VHS as sad as that may be.) If you still have time, I would take the darn thing back and get a better model. (Not JVC preferably)

Patto, I don't have a MAC but when I download files to my computer, my computer pops up a screen (task manager) saying "what would you like to to with these files". Click on "View Files in Folder" or something to that effect. From there, follow the directions that are in the beginning of this forum (under my name) or read the manual for them. You will convert the files to .mpg extension, not .avi. Anyone else got any advice for him? (with a MAC)

This is a great message board. I own a Panasonic SVAV100 digital recorder. It's been frustraiting for years not knowing how to edit .MOD files. I downloaded Prism video converter, but the conversion made the vido tall - as others have reported. My PC came with InterVideo WinDVD Creator software. I never tried importing a MOD file using this sotware. I'm happy to report it WORKED. You can edit MOD files using this software. Mine was included with the PC, but it appears to be relatively inexpensive. You will find it at: www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1177441133981

Good luck - thought it was worth sharing this with the group.

Hi all
I am confused. You can definitely modify mod files in Power director or in Adobe Premier Elements. You can make avi files by capturing to avi file in PE.

I can change the format of the files to either .mpg or .avi with no problems. My problem is I cannot burn these files to a disc at all, and this comes from using several programs.

Lisa,

We can modify .MOD files using Power director or other soft's. I needed to keep time and date stamp in my final AVI file. JVC did confirm that it is imposible to keep that stamp.

David is spot on with his recommendation of Intervideo WinDVD. I tried all sorts of file converters including Prisim. I could not get the sound to work on my files at all. Win DVD is the only thing I have that opens the mod files ok. I prviously used Pinnacle 9.4.3 and liked it but I just cant get any sound in my JVC mod files after conversion.

Really Frustrating
