Okay,
How do I possibly convert the MOI(audio) files into a format that I can import into Final Cut? The MOD files can be simply renamed as .mpeg files and easily imported into final cut, but the MOI's are a different story. I have tried MP3's, AIF's, WAV's, but Final Cut still does not recognize the file.

What do I do?

MOI files are just Movie Information files

MOD files contains the motion/still pictures and sound.

For downloading, I ended up going through Windows Explorer to copy them from the JVC to the Computer. Of course, that means there's a connection between the JVC and the computer with the connection to the JVC setup as a drive on the computer.

I lost the software that came with my camera doh. Im in the process of getting another copy but from what I can gather when u load the software onto a mac you install a patch for quicktime pro so thats why u cant find an application when its installed. This patch apparently allows u to convert the files into a type that is compatible with i-movie and final cut. Has any one tried this? Could you let me know if this works if anyone gets a chance to test this before me.

The solution to changing MOD MOI files for mac users has been found! On the Apple site there is a download for VisualHub a very easy to use program, drag the MOD files into it and turn them to whatever is useful for you, I was able to convert them for aftereffects and it turned out great, very easy to use, it is about $24.00 and even the quality of the end result can be adjusted, pretty basic but works great! the MOI files seemed to have to use so I tossed them, and the MOD files were pretty much all I needed.

Once the JVC movie files along with the .MOI fles are downloaded to the computer, can you then erase the .MOI files without any impact on reading the .MOD files?

Hi Boys and girl MAC users! (works on windows to)

Here's a tip that you can use for opening and converting the MOD files once you've downloaded them from your cam:

It's a little program called VisualHub and infact it is amazing!

www.techspansion.com/visualhub/tryit.php

Just drag and drop them into VisualHub and you can convert to iTunes/PSP/DV/DVD/AVI/MP4/WMV/MPEG/Flash and it works pretty fast as well! Before I used MPEG streamclip and that does the trick as well but it takes a bit long and the program sometimes just gives up when files are a little bigger...(www.squared5.com)=MPEG Streamclip link

Once converted, you can use iMovie/Final Cut Pro or any other video edditing program you like and make your movie!

Another tip for those who make long videos ;-) you can't burn on one dvd:

DVD2oneX2 compresses your videos to burn on one DVD and you can actually see in advance the percentages of quality you might lose with compressing... It works like a charm and really fast as well!
www.dvd2one.com

Just one last note:
You can erase the MOI files without any impact on reading the MOD files! They are only used as said above for additional info like time and date of video files which are also shown in properties with right-mouse-click
If you look carefully to the amount of space they use it is the same for each MOI file (about 32KB)! MOD files are all different in size (much larger always), depending on the amount of minutes you filmed so those are the files you really really need!

MAC user use "StreamClip" software....

Choose Demux to unscaled M2V and Aiff...

If you have multiple file, use the Batch List

Apparently the m2v produced has the sound in the file so trash the aiff file....

then you can edit your footage in Final Cut with no lost in quality. or play it in quicktime

If anyone is having trouble with losing the audio....it is recorded in Dolby Digital 2.0. So you need to use a program that can handle DD when you are converting or editing your movies. I use PowerDirector, no problems at all. Sony Vegas also works fine.

Great discussion ladies & gents. All I can add is that for Vista OS users if you navigate to the folder where you saved all your MOV/MOI files and type in the search bar *.MOI you will get all the MOI files listed in the left Column, the next column lists the dates when they were shot. You won't need a reader to tell you this info as the OS does it all for you.

Normally I do the above just so as I can delete the MOI files because I really have little need for them, they clutter the folder and make scrolling to find the clip you want take longer.

I suppose if you're really interested in the dates for prosperity you could create yourself a text file with this data and just print it off or save it somewhere for later reference. Me personally, I just don't have time for that. Can't help MAC users one iota, but I understand it's a relevant point of choice - my friends that have them love them to bits.

Has anyone had any luck with getting the sound to work on the downloaded videos from JVC Everio HDD? I'm having problems and no matter what I try the volume does not work

TO ALL MAC USERS-
This took me way too long to figure out, so I figured maybe I could spare you the time. Download Mpeg Stream Clip- This is free software that will allow you to convert those pesky MOD files (apparently they contain the audio, it just needs to be converted into a different format) into Mpeg4s or other formats that editing software will recognize. Trust me!- Mpeg Streamcliip!

Hi,

I'm still having trouble converting my MOI files into AVI or quicktime. What program do I need to download in order to make this happen? I'm working with windows xp service pack #2.

Thanks!

Victor is absolutely correct. Think of the comcorder as an external hard drive or mem stick. I have yet to find any problem transfering movies from this JVC to my comp, and it is as easy as drag-n-drop can be. As for what to use in playing these files, I find that Media player just all arounds stinks, and choose to use my Nero player. video is great, as well as the sound. When it comes to converting the files to another format, there is only one format I find worth using and that is mpeg4. 9 times out of 10 if you have Nero, it will convert the files just fine. Hope I was of help to you all and keep enjoying your JVC HDD devices.

HEADS UP! CANON VIDEOCAMS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MOV FILES!!!

I found TWO FIXES, and they were sitting right under my nose! FIRST--Media Player classic (unicode build) Ver. 6.4.9.0. I drug the mov file into this icon on my desktop and it IMMEDIATELY PLAYED--PERFECTLY-- SOUND AND ALL!! Can't remember if I paid for this proggy, or if it was free. Scroogle[dot org] it and see. Hey, if you just wanna see your footage...this works!

The other FIX is this (and I paid for it because I was at wits end!) Movavi Video Converter 5.6 "Convert video, rip DVD, save to iPod, PSP, Zune, PDA and cellphone." It has a dropdown for 15 formats, then the last one is "more formats and settings" wow! This was $29.95! http://movavi.com/videoconverter/ is the link to find it. No I dont work for them! LOL I know EXACTLY what you are going thru...total hell! Not fun! When something works, I share!
mplayerc.exe and mplayerc.ini are the 2 apps/config settings I have in my folder.

GET THIS---I literally drug the mov file to this already-opened program, selected a dropdown to convert it to MPEG4, hit the Convert button and it did its thing! I was also able to watch the video immediately once I drug it into the window...and it was just like I had videoed it. This is an amazing proggy! Saved my a** big time last year!

I have a PC...not a Mac. I think the Mac problem with mov has been solved above by Nikki and James...so dont ask me abut macs! I love em, but cant get one right now. sorry

Hi Everyone. I use mac and i bought QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback - Mac OS X which has a component that allows you to open any files from the everio, which i also use, and cpnvert to many other file formats. its $29 from mac store and solves all the probs!

I have a JVC Hard drive camcorder. The files transfer to my computer as MOI files. They play in media player but have no sound.

I have tried to convert to MPG files but it doesn't seem to make any difference. They still won't open in Windows media player with sound.
I appreciate any help!
