Hi all
Just use Adobe Premier Elements, you can bring in .mod files, etc. If you still have problems, capture the footage with the docking station via firewire and you will get one avi file. I use PE for all my editing, even can bring in .vob files and make slide shows.

Prism converter is good, but a quality of the video is worst.With virtual dub i find better quality but files are huge.Does anyone know how to find the best converted quality of the video.Video must to be converted MOV to AVI if i want to edit in Adobe premiere.

tihi, you can capture the .mod files if you use the docking station. This will give you an avi file. I have done that.

How can I connect my JVC Everio HDD to my Mac. I've tried downloading an MPEG Slipstream software patch, but this doesn't work.I would like to start editing in iMovie.

Hello,
When I began using the prism video converter, I received a warning error that says incorrect timestamps found in the source file. Basically what I am trying to do is convert dvd from games to make a highlight dvd using windows movie maker...any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi! I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place, but I'll give it a shot anyway. If I'm not then I apologize, and could someone point me in the right direction? My grandparents recently bought a used JVC GZ-MG21U video camera. Of course, they're not very computer literate, so they're having some problems finding the actual videos when they plug the camera into their computer. I'm not the best with computers and cameras, but I can hold my own. Unfortunately, I'm in Oklahoma and they're in Florida.
So I guess my questions are:
Is there an installation disc that comes with the camera? Because they didn't have one, so I'm trying to guide them through folders over the phone.
And if there isn't- where are the actual .MOD video files at when you go in through My Computer? I know they can find the still pictures in the DCIM folder, but I'm lost after that.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hi Abby
I am no expert on this so at the very least it will bump our question.
I bought a JVC camera last Friday and have had all the problems mentioned above. I finally had enough after 3 DAYS of drama and took it back and got a sony. Hopefully it will be a more pleasant experience than JVC.
From memory the folder for video is SD (?)
Maybe direct them to camcorderinfo.com forum , there are specify forums by make. Otherwise tell them to take that junk back quick!! LOL
You other guys are great, I learned a lot reading here over the weekend, trying to sort the JVC mess out.
Never again will I buy JVC

Jayan-
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I don't think they can return it, but I will have them check out the camrecorder forum.
And its true, everyone is so helpful here- and now I know personally the problems JVC cameras can have.

Hi Abby, There was no installation disc for the camera that came with the camcorder. What they do give you is Cyberlink power producer and Cyberlink power director. That software will not help you to upload the files or find them.
When you plug your camera into the computer, the task manager should come up. When it does, it will give you choices for what you want to do with those files. Tell your grandparents to click on 'open files in folder' on your computer.
As soon as the file and folders come up, make a new folder and label it 'whatever'. To do this, right click, go to 'new' then 'folder' and name it. They should see 3 folders in front of them. One will be the folder that they just made, one will be SD files and one will be Ext. files. Then drag and drop both the SD files and the EXT files into the new folder. This is done so that all files will be in one central place.
Once you do that, open the folder back up and click on the SD files, then click on the program files. There you will find all of the .mod and .moi files. The next step is to convert them into a usable extension file.
If you unplug the camera during all this, you cannot access the files again until you upload something else. The hard drive that it places the folders in will disappear. (at least I couldn't find mine again...) Keep the camera on for as long as it takes to change the extension. After you've changed and saved the new extension files, then turn the camera off.
Hope that helps some:o)

My camera also came with Power Cinema that does allow for copying files from the camera to a computer. It's also supposed to burn the files to a disc, but we know that doesn't work.
The drive in the camera works like any other drive, zip drive, or anything else connected to a computer. It reads it just like another drive and should assign its own letter in Explorer in XP and above. When finding the drive letter, you can drag the files just like anything else.

Thanks for all the help Carolyn. The converter listed above works very well. I also found the MPG to be the best quality. The WMV format was pretty much useless, don't waste your time using that one.

Hi all
I am in Australia but I am sure the bundles come the same. I can definitely edit and burn to a dvd. I have already done it, without upgrading. Is that weird? I have both power director express and power producer. With Power director express you bring in your files and then you need to add them to the timeline, then you can burn to dvd directly.

| Carolyn EXPERT 2008-02-27 07:57:49 |
Interesting Lisa. Couple of questions though. Do you have MAC or windows? If you have windows, which one do you presently have? When you 'bring the files in' to the power director express, do you change them from .mod? or leave them as .mod. If you do change them, what do you change them to and how do you change them. Also, which camcorder do you have? All of these things are relevant for our readers trying to burn to DVD. Thanks!

Hi Carolyn
sorry, bit more info would have helped. I have a jvc GZ MG135, on a pc using xp, I bring them in with usb, do not changed them from .mod. I just capture and then put into timeline and then burn. I can also use the docking station if I want to capture as one combined large avi and then bring into adobe premier elements. I can make individual avi files if I want as well from each mod file. You must bring them though onto the timeline before you can do this. Otherwise, the areas are greyed out. I promise it works.

Hi,
can anyone tell me what format to use in converting .mod files using Prism video converter so they can be played on a home dvd system ? I love the program but each cd I burn will not play on my dvd player only on my pc.
I guess i should mention I have CD-R and DVD +R disks that I can use to burn to .. my experiment of trying to get them to play on my home dvd has been to burn them on the DVD+R disks. I have not tried to burn them on a CD-R disk yet.
thanks

Hey, I'm very confused on how to use that mass conversion listed up top. Can someone walk me through it step by step. Sorry. Still learning with my computer.
| Carolyn EXPERT 2008-03-04 08:08:13 |
Melanie, what you're describing happened to a friend of mine too. I haven't made DVD's yet, as I do online vids instead. I will let someone who's actually making DVD's help you with this. (hopefully)
RL, I have no idea which reply you are interested in knowing more about. (that mass conversion listed above?) Please specify which one you're referring to and what exactly you don't understand.

Hi,
I was mainly wondering which one of the conversions will work to play on a DVD. I want the home movies to be played on my personal DVD player so the whole family doesn't have to stand around the computer to enjoy them. Or if I want to send say grandparents some home vieos of the kids they do not have to watch it on thier computers but can watch it on thier dvd player and the tv.
Thanks

Don't know if this helps anyone, but I had been trying to figure this out for the past week and had tried following all the steps posted on here. Including downloading all sorts of freeware that wasn't working for me at all. Which a lot of it was trully over my head.
I just switched the MOD to MPG, by renaming it. Now if you watch it that way in windows media it had no sound. Then opened up the power director software that came with the camera and swapped to an avi file. I was able to trim the video etc, very easily and then convert to avi if I wanted,... do whatever I needed. If I swapped it to an avi (in that program) you can then watch it in windows media. From there upload it wherever you want, vimeo, utube, etc. After hours spending on this, this was a very easy alternative.
HTH someone. It did me, my camera was very close to full, and we have a little baby girl ready to walk any day now.. so glad we have space on that camera...
btw we have the jvc everio GZ-MG21U

I was having trouble using the Prism software to convert .mod files to .avi/.mpg format. I read Carolyn's advice which is really good. The Prism software didn't always automatically download the required codecs. I uninstalled and reinstalled the prism software many times but no luck.
The solution here is to download and install a codec pack yourself. I used the Combined Community Codec pack. You can download it from here:
www.cccp-project.net
After these codecs are installed, the prism software works perfectly at converting .mod files to any other file format!!
Thanks for the information Carolyn!!

Lisa - I try all most all what you wrote. I have the same camera as you, i use the docking station connected by usb to PC.Copy/paste sd_video folder and when i try to import mod.clips from that folder to adobe premiere pro 2.0 write me: the file is not supported.
If that works in adobe premiere elements i don't know why that doesn't work in adobe premiere pro 2.0, if i understand you right
27.2.2008. Sorry i didn't try to capture from camera in adobe premiere pro 2.0 yet, maybe that solves all editing, quality and large files problems.

New problem! I use my camcorder to do youtube vids a lot. My camera kept telling me that my hard drive was full, when I had already deleted and uploaded all of the clips I had on it. There was nothing there! yet the camera kept telling me my hard drive was full.
If this happens to you!, follow these steps:
#1) Return your camera to to it's factory-preset condition. Use the reset button on the camera to do this. Instructions on page 56.
#2) Release/delete protected files. page 38. Neither of them helped me much since I didn't have any protected files. (but you might!)
#3) Clean up the HDD or SD files. Instructions on page 40. I did all of these things and the camera still told me my hard drive was full, so then
#4) I tried the instructions for further removing the files from the hard drive by following the instructions on the right hand column on page 39. This worked! If you're camera gives you this message, try these things to get rid of all old files on your hard drive. BTW When you upload and view new files on your computer, you will have created a new folder. This happens when you remove all data from your camera.
Kelsey, I have no clue why prism automatically updated my format and why yours didn't? That is strange. However, I'm glad you found a way around it!
