Tonyshep your method is the best, as you suggested, I simply renamed my .MOD files to .MPG files and Ulead Videostudio 9 can open them with no problems, audio included. Thanks!!
It only sometimes works like that. If it does, then what if you have iMovie and want to edit it? You will need a convertor.

spike 72 Guest | i have read all the posts that have been put up ... i allways thought that JVC was a good company to buy a video cam from as that is one of the reasons i bought my mg50ek with 30gb hard drive but after reading the posts i dont know if this was a good choice as not owning a video cam before and not to quick on pc jargon thought it would be the best option ......now thinking if to sell cam and get a dvd cam instead .....
could anybody put in plain english what additional software i need and if that software will give me better quality than what i see after conversion to wmv
girlfriend has hidden all heavy objects that could smash cam !!!!!!!
cheers spike

Owl Guest | A DVD Camcorder is not good, as you may not be able to edit your footage. It burns directly, and the dvds are expensive. They are about 20 bucks for a 3 DVD-RW or 5 DVD-R. I think there should of been something included with the cam but there are some third party software.

matt 4 OSX Guest | hi,
those of you with macs might want to check out
http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/documentation.php
it’s a command line tool that does all types of video conversion. i use it to convert the MOD files to mp4 files that QuickTime Player can play and can be imported into iMovie.
a sample command looks like:
ffmpeg -i mov012.MOD -b 8500 -ab 384 mov012.mp4
that says convert mov012.MOD to mp4 format and call the output file mov012.mp4 and preserve the data quality of the original.
good luck!
matt.

Ronny Guest | Hi All,
I also use PowerDirector as MOD-MPEG converter. But each time copiing ALL my MOD-files to the Time-line, to be able to convert them to a MPEG-file, is a very hard job!!
If anyone knows a Batch-converter for this job, please let me know.
Thankx in advance.
Ronny.

Tony Wood Guest | I’ve posted to this forum previously, and can relate to the heartaches being suffered by people who have purchased the JVC Everio GZ-MG series.
The solution which I have found works for me is to forget file conversions, workarounds, codecs etc - simply copy the files to your Hard Drive and then use Adobe Premiere Elements 2 (Not V1)for your editing. Adobe PE2 has phenomenal features, is quite cheap and has lots of resources in books magazines and web pages.
And one other thing I’ve found is that you have to re-interlace to stop the shuddering in action scenes.
If you have this camera you definitely have a quality product, you have fast file transfer, no discs or tapes to purchase, excellent reproduction, but you do have f*** all support from JVC.
They think that because they’re selling cameras, that’s what you’re buying. Consequently they don’t understand your editing problems, and worse still they don’t give a sh*t - believe me I’ve written to them on a number of occasions - and that’s why you have to go trolling through these forums.
I did try file conversions with little success, but I’m really happy now with my Adobe.
You’ll be able to check out my results on www.videoinasnap.com after 18 April in their new contest (assuming my entry is accepted). My entry will be “Nicola’s Birthday” or similar.
So put the hammers and chain saws away, relax with some decent software and enjoy the results.
Oh, and Happy Easter.

alco Guest | Hi all, I have just been reading all the posts and might have a few answers. Sound problems once transfered can be caused by the USB port. Make sure you are using USB 2.0 to transfer and you shoukd solve this problem. Go into task manager and update driver if the PC is has it, otherwise you’ll have to buy a USB 2.0. The MOI files as far as I’m aware are for any dropped frames etc, don’t think they are important but if you can leave them there for editing just incase. As for all the editing isues, I have the same problem. I use pinnacle studio 9. The only way to do a full quality edit is get studio 10.5 with hard drive and MOD file support. I am getting around this at the moment by using the Cyberlink Power Director program that cam with the camcorder, importing the files, exporting them to .avi files, then using studio 9 to edit them. Have to get studio 10 to get around doing this, but for now it will do. Don;t forget you need a decent PC as well, I think at least a 2.2GHz a fair bit of ram (I’m using 1 gig) and of course plenty of gig on your hard drive.
Hope this has been of help to some,
sorry for those using premier and such, but I’m not use to using them. Hope others can answer any questions.

Zac Staples Guest | Hey, I just bought an Everio camcorder yesterday to videotape my son’s birthday party today. I was so happy to upgrade from my old Sony camcorder that only had analog output I didn’t even consider that the JVC didn’t provide an output in the correct format....until TODAY!!!
So I’ve been jacking around with it and there are two options that will get the video out of the JVC and into iMovie (FYI - I am a Mac daddy and wouldn’t consider using any other editing software than iMovie).
#1 - I have a Canopus Analog to Digital converter that I used with previously mentioned analog camcorder to get the video into iMovie. With the JVC you can run s-video out of the camcorder into the A/D converter and then into the computer via firewire. The big upside to this approach is that it will still keep all the scenes split and iMovie thinks its talking to a camcorder with DV output so it’s simpler at the editing stage. Big downer is that you require another piece of hardware and have a generational loss (albeit slight with s-Video) going from digital to analog to digital.
#2 - the editing software CD that comes with the JVC is absolute crap, BUT it does have one function to convert the .Mod files into DV or MPEG or Quicktime movies. Just install the software (both PC and Mac versions are provided) and then
a. go to “view” and select “combine files”
b. Then select all the .mod files you shot for the day
c. Click “create”
d. Pick “MPEG (system stream)" for the fastest conversion
Then go open iMovie and you will be able to import the MPEG you created into your clips pane.
Hope this helps,
Zac

JVC Alex Guest | I have a JVC HDD. I am having problems, mainly because I can’t find the software. Long story short, I just moved and am getting a new computer so just figured I would wait to load the new software when I had more capability... now I can’t find the disk. Anyway, I can’t even get the computer to recognize that there are video file in the USB port. Any ideas? Also, they are in .MOD or .MOI format and NOTHING reads that... Thanks!!!!

Zac Staples Guest | JVC Alex,
Don’t worry about not finding the software...it is total crap.
I posted a long reply on using the camera without the provided software on the CNET site.
See

Hope this helps,

Thanks! I found the disk yesterday while unpacking. I am going to play with it today. I have a PC, so hopefulyl it works better with that than with your MAC. I’ll keep you updated on the progress. But thanks for your speedy reply!

MelissaB Guest | Hi Guys
Just thought I would let you know, I was trying to convert my camcorders .mod files for ages, in the end it was simple. I just opened them in windows media player and saved them as .avi. But you have to physically write name.avi when your saving as, because there is no option to select avi from a scroll down list, it says all files.
But is worked. Worth a try if your having problems!

Alex JVC Guest | It worked like a charm! I am still figuring out some of the little details, but I discovered how to make them playable in WMP. Now a new problem arises.....
I burned an .avi format of the video and a .mpeg2 the avi played in the dvd player and was very poor quality. The images were pixelated and blurry.... the .mpeg2 did not play on the DVD player, but when played in WMP it was a beautiful high-quality image. Any ideas on how to make .avi higher quality, or to get another format that will play in a DVD player at high quality???
