Robert from OZ Guest | Hi All
I have a JVC GZ-MC100
I am playing around with the Cyberlink software. I am a rookie. I find it soooo slow to do anything.
Also the sound doesn’t come out whole - it is very bitty. Not coherent. What does this mean???
I have now downloaded all of the MOD files to hard drive and will try and rename and use in another software. Will the sound be any better???
I also had the USB MASS STORAGE problem untill you guys helped me out.
What a head ache.

JK Guest | I’ve just purchased the JVC GZ MC 500 and I’ve been having many of the problems stated already. When move files from your camera in the folder called SD_Video you find that theres actually two files associated with each scene youve filmed. One is the now infamouse MOD extention and the other is a file called MOI. I’ve got a couple of questions.
1. Does anyone know what the MOI file contains?
2. If you bring over just the MOD file and change its extention, then try and open it within a package like ulead, you can view the video but have no sound. Why is that?
3. When you export from powerdirector why are the file sizes so huge? A test 2 min shoot used over 3GB of storage, and yet the frame rate and quality of production seems no better than my old sony DC5.

You will also need the 'ac2filter' also to get the audio in the file. It works agem for me so give it a try & good Luck.

steveUK Guest | hello all,
I’m a mac user... the mac comes with lovely software specifically for compositing video (iMovie) and burning to DVD (iDVD) which couldn’t be simpler.
But (you guessed) QuickTime on the mac knows nothing about .MOD files
I downloaded the AC3 filter from sourceforge, still no joy.
Yes, the supplied software, “Capty MPEG Edit EX for Everio” will convert the files, but what a chore.
Does anyone know how to do it directly via QT?

Basil S Guest | Well, has anyone tried to simply rename tho .MOD to .MPEG yet?
I suggest to batch rename also...

JK Guest | Yes that works for play back, but im not sure about the quality. Its in a compressed format until youve run it through the software. I guess for everyday use thats the compromise.

Hi all, I’ve been following this thread closely, but have been unsuccessful in all my tries. I have the panasonic sv-av100. I try renaming my mod to mpg but no matter what program I use (dvdsanta,powerdirector, winavi,etc.)when I convert to dvd I get a video_ts folder and an empty audio_ts folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys,
I have just seen this Forum on the internet, i can give you some different ideas and solutions.
MPEG.MOD files is a quite new format to use, that’s why you canot find so many editing softwares yet, but i have some solutions for you.
Pinnacle Studio 10 Media Suite this new software ca edit directly with MOD files. And the software is also ready for editing i High Definition (HD) when this will be possible.
Another software is Canopus Let’s Edit - this software can also edit directly in MOD files
DIVX player downloaded from internet can playback MOD files directly, and if you just rename the file into MPG, MPEG, AVI or WMV then you can playback on Windows Mediaplayer.
To use with your own software you can download Streamclip for PC users, this will change the file from MPEG.MOD file into DV.MOV file, and now you can use it with Adobe Premiere.
Get streamclip here www.alfanet.it\squared5\mpegstreamclip.html
If you have mac. You can download converter here
www.apple.com\quicktime\mpeg2\download
Then you can edit in Imovie and Final Cut PRO
Regards

Could you also answer the question on what the .MOI file is for and whether it can be safely deleted once you have your movies on your computer?
Thanks

second2n0ne Guest | Hello all. I have a batch file I wrote that will copy all your mod files from your camera and rename them on the fly. It will copy only new video from your camera so subsequent transfers are faster. I also packaged it with the ac3 filter. This method only works with video editing programs that can edit mpeg files. I still have not come across a good mod to avi file conversion. PowerProducer does in fact do the job but takes an awfully long time to do ALL your video on the camera. Looks like Mac’s have a solution, though. Not sure if Premiere Pro can work with mpegs, I know Premiere 6 requires AVI files. PC users NEED a good batch MOD to AVI converter! If your intrested in the batch file email me at kelena at jawaiianstyle dot com.

Robert from OZ Guest | Hi
I family have now made my movie, but am now trying to get the hard work onto a disk.
I am using CyberlinkPower Producer 'Burn Disk from DVD Folder'. It doesn’t allow access to the file at all?
If I try making the Disk Compatible it says that “The video format on the source disk does not support conversion to DVD-video in this utility”.
What does this mean?
The DVD driver is writeable, and I have tried all formats DVD disk -R, +R, +RW etc....
Help.
Having gone through all the trauma of getting this far it is verryyy annoying.
Many thanks
Robert S

GOOD LUCK

Hi Dan
I recently bought the same camcorder. It’s the first camcorder I’ve ever bought but I’m having trouble with it.
All I want to do is be able to transfer from the cam to PC, edit, add text and audio and be able to play film in windows media player. Upload to internet and e mail to mates.
If anyone could tell me how to do this - IN SIMPLE TERMS - I’d be eternally grateful. Otherwise the camera is going to hit the wall!!

Tony Wood Guest | Haven’t been here for a while, as I’ve been happily making DVD’s from the .mod files downloaded from my JVC GZ-MG30AA.
I assume BrianJVC is actually from JVC - if so, it’s nice to know you’ve finally decided to listen to your customers - now you just have to put some decent instructions with the expensive camera.
And try to understand that we didn’t buy a camera - we bought a way of storing memories.
If you understood that and acted on it you wouldn’t be seeing 7 pages of vitriol in this forum.
Now that I’ve got that off my chest I can say that I did upgrade Power Director to the full version (for 70AUD) and although it’s workable it is very restrictive.
I bought Adobe Premiere Elements 2 (150AUD online through Harris Technology), which quite definitely DOES read .mod files direct (no format changing or renaming required) with no worries at all. More than worth the extra cost.
But none of the programs allow you to use the “import” button as people using Digital Tape and connecting through a Firewire port can do - see below.
PE2 is a complex program and does require quite a bit of learning, so be prepared to buy a couple of books (“Premiere Elements 2 in a Snap” by Grisetti and Engels, and “Premiere Elements 2 - Classroom in a Book” by Adobe Publishing) I got the first through Amazon and will be ordering the second from Dymocks.
(I also found someone local who runs classes on the principles of making home movies - well worth the effort).
You will save yourself a lot of frustration if you firstly understand that none of the programs will “import” directly from the camera’s hard drive.
You have to copy the files from camera’s Hard Drive to your computer, and then use the “get file.." or similar facility of the program you’re using to bring each clip into the work area/timeline for editing.
Because you’re talking in the hundreds and thousands of clips you’ll be bringing in, you MUST have a system in place before you start.
I have found that it’s best to have a Hard Drive dedicated to digital video - mine is a 200Gb external drive connected through a USB2.0 port - and you also need to create a hard copy catalogue for reference.
When copying the clips to the computer I create a folder for each day’s clips within a folder I created called “Raw Footage”, and then leave the file names as allocated by JVC when copying them into the relevant day’s folder.
For the hard copy catalogue I have a spreadsheet with column headings for
Folder Date
Clip File Name
Subject
People in the Clip
Action (eg sightseeing, walking, football etc)
Place
Clip Length.
Date Backed Up
Disc Backed Up To
Because it’s Excel spreadsheet I can sort my whole library on one of these fields if I can’t remember when I took a particular shot.
This sounds rather messy but once it’s in place it’s not hard to keep up and is invaluable if you’re going back a few months to put together clips relating to one theme which were taken over a few days or weeks.
Once I’ve got my computer clips backed up to DVD I’ll then be deleting them from the camera - which will leave a copy on the computer and another on DVD.
Of course, if you just want to get the clips on to a DVD then Power Director will handle that easily - but it will be a pretty boring show!!
I think the ratio is about 5 interesting/useable minutes for each hour of film in the can.
Feel free to contact me direct if you have this camera and have had to restrain yourself from throwing it across the room - I’ve ben there and now that I understand the rules I am more than happy with the camera.
My email address is ptonyatbigpond.com (substituting @ for at).

ALOHA Guest | Hi, I have the JVC 30GB Hard drive camcorder. I’m using Power Director Express (the software that came with the camera) to convert my MOD to AVI (Thanks to all your post I learned how to do this) only problem is the time it takes to drop/drag/produce each one is making my head ache. Has anyone SUCCESSFULLY been able to convert a bunch of MOD files to AVI or MPEG at one time? I have about 15 hours of files that I need to convert.
Any help would be appreciated. This is my first time ever trying to do video editing.
Thanks.

Allan Guest | I struggled with tape editing for ages. The JVC camera, despite all the carping in here, seemed to me a massive leap forward if you use it in the way that it is delivered (i.e. using Power Director etc). The software is child’s play (i.e. I can can use it!).
Dan answered my one and only question - How to make mpeg files for making output avalable on my website. Thanks.
So thanks to everyone for hepling here - and yes JVC should listen to the customer. But who else had a HD product that was so small and easy to use?

LlomaxX Guest | I was having the same trouble as all of you...and magically everything started to work. I can copy files directly from the camcorder to my hard-drive, change the extention from “MOD” to “MPG”, and I can see AND HEAR the video in Windows Media Player. I think the reason I can do this is because I downloaded the latest version of Windows Media Player, and after that, everything just worked.
Since I can now view and listen to the .mpg files, I’ve been using ArcSoft’s ShowBiz, which came with my HP Pavilion Media Center PC. It loves the MPG’s and works really fast. However, there are many things it can’t do - separate audio and video for instance. But, if I try to open an MPG in Premiere, it acts like I told it to compute to the very last digit the value of PI. But I can save the MPG using either ShowBiz or Pinnacle to an AVI file, do what I want in Premiere, and then use one of the others to convert it back to MPG.
I end up doing fancy editing in Premiere, then put everything into MPG format and piece it together and burn DVD’s using ShowBiz.
But I fear that if I delete those mysterious .MOI files, it will all stop working. Does anyone know what they are and whether they can be deleted, especially if you have done no conversion of the file, merely changed the extention?

DAES Guest | DJ E-Bam, i know it must be easy to associate MOD files to Premiere..i already downloaded and installed the ac3 filter, but i dunno what else to do from there....could u be specific in how to do that exaclty, i would really appreciate it

| 28 Mar 2006 05:41 pm |
DAES Guest | i figured out how to make the changed file extention work on premiere..but i still have a problem that when i put the MPG file into the time line, the audio is not syncronized with the video....it’s bahind....anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it? thanx
