To begin with not being able to transfer video via a fire wire cable and capturing the file in Movie Maker, or Adobe Premier Pro CS4 just didn't make any sense since kids on Youtube were offering instructions on how easy it was. The first time I called JVC the rep was clueless as to how to help me, or offer any suggestions as to how to narrow down the problem. It wasn't until I went postal, and created a new vocabulary compliments of Satan, that I flamed an email to JVC, and got a response from Mary with a phone number of 1(800) 252-5722 that gave me hope. Through her suggestions I was able to narrow down the problem to a faulty PCI card with 2-USB ports, and 2-Firewire ports Manufactured by Mi-Products that failed to work properly. This was an after market card I had added to my old computer, and transferred over to my new computer.I also took the same card, and plugged into my wife's computer which is the same as mine, and it caused the mouse pointer to stop working properly. Needless to say that card is going into the recycle bin. Now I am able to down load the video files to both Movie Maker, and Adobe Premier Pro without any glitch's, or problems. My apologies to JVC, and thank you for your support, and follow up. Despite my moniker "Georgeknows" unfortunately George doesn't know, and I have a lot to learn engaging my brain and trying to think through the problem exhausting all possibilities before sending unwarranted flaming emails to a manufacturer who goes go the extra step to support their products.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-customer-support-is-joke#post-51982 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:41:35 +0000 georgeknows 51982@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a miniDV video camera made by JVC, Model GR-D770U, and followed the manual indicating  hooking up a fire wire cable to transfer the video from the camera to my PC running Windows XP. So far I have been unsccessful in trying to transfer the video from the camcorder to my pc, Windows Movie Maker will not capture the video, and Adobe Premier Pro CS4 would not capture the video as well, I can manipulate the camera through the software, (rewind, play, fast forward) but thats about it. I called customer support at JVC, and they couildn't help me, and despite pointing out the fact that their manual says I can, they tell me I can't, and that I need to use a DVD recorder to transfer the video in order to get it on my computer. So now i have to use a work arouind that I'm not sure will work ? And the customers service rep begins to tell me that is why JVC are changing from tape to hard drives, and sd cards, Cmon, JVC is clueless about what they are doing in the support department. I can garuntee you I'm selling my JVC camera, and purchasing another brand that will work without all this BS work around nonsense. Now I know why people prefer other video camera brands, and Macs over PC's for video editing. </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/playback-hd-films-on-hd-tv-gz-hd5#post-52063 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:49:43 +0000 Gerardjs 52063@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi guys,</p> <p>Seeing back your films directly from camera on your HD-TV is easy with the HDMI but.. after moving the films to pc with deliverd sw it seems we can only see these films on pc..

I have plugged in the 4-pin to 6-pin fire wire cable. I have tried to capture the video using Windows Movie Maker, and Adobe Premier Pro CS4, and they will not capture or preview the the video. With Adobe Pemier Pro an error message keeps popping up "Invalide Timecode". I know the software is communicating with the camera becuase I can rewind, play, and fast forward the tape in the camera, but I can't capture the video, or even preview it in the software. I have tried emailing JVC support, but they have failed to reply (so much for JVC). I'm at a loss as to how to overcome this obsticale, and get my video onto my hard drive. If I am unable to solve the problem with a solution I'm ready to get rid of the camera, and look for a new one. I considered a video capture card, but the camcorder is already digital, so it woiuld be redundent. I'm stumped, and frustrated, this process should not be rocket science, it shoiuld be straight forward, simple and easy to load your video onto a computer.

When we plug it into her laptop Vista just sits there. Doesn't auto play or notify me that something was just plugged in. Let me list all the things i have tried so far. Camera is in VCR mode. I have tried two different cables. Which happen to be 4 pin to 4 pin. I have eliminated the firewire card itself. Windows sees my external hard drive when i plug that in. I have tried just about every combination plugging it in, ie: turning the computer off then plugging it in then turning camera on then turning on the computer. The only thing i have not really been able to do is get a firmware update. Thats because i can't find one for this camera. Thats why i turn to you all...maybe you could help me find whatever it is i might need. I tried looking at the JVC site to no avail. Then realized its a Canadian model, so i checked the CA JVC website and found stuff but not sure what i am looking for. Here are the specs on the laptop. </p> <p>Its a Hp pavillion dv6000<br /> Windows vista home<br /> AMD athlon 64x 2 dual core processor TK-53 1.70GHz<br /> 2750mb ram<br /> 32 bit operating system</p> <p>I also found a potential registry fix, something about windows not enumerating something...i went ahead and did it...still didn't work. </p> <p>I really don't wanna believe its the camera, I have a feeling its something else really simple. </p> <p>Anyways, any help would be great on this one.</p> <p>SJ</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-gz-hd7-tutorials#post-47680 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:55:10 +0000 mrbvideoproductions 47680@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I just recently got a JVC HD7 camera and wanted to know if there is any tutorials how to use it, etc. Any help would be apperciated.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-gy-hm700horizontal-resolution#post-50179 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:22:43 +0000 makerofvideos 50179@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have checked out the HM700. It felt great in my hands. It has the clearest and sharpest LCD screen I've seen in a camcorder. (I'm not 100 percent certain because I held the camera for only five minutes, but I felt that I was able to focus without the need for a field monitor.) Most important to me is that the camera is HD and shoots native .MOV files on SD cards which makes work flow much easier when you edit with FCP. And, of course, SD cards cost a lot less than P2 and SxS cards.</p> <p>My one concern is horizontal resolution. I started to notice this feature in cameras after I read the Videomaker review of the Panasonic AG-HPX170. The review said: "The actual horizontal resoution of the HPX170 is a little disappointing, coming in at a mere 650 lines. Other similarly-priced camcorders come in between 800 and 1,000." I think this is important because the quality difference would probably be noticed by anybody watching your production on a 52-inch HDTV, for example.</p> <p>The problem is that the specs on this camera (and others) don't give you horizontal resolution. How is a consumcer supposed to compare producds if you don't have the numbers?</p> <p>Has anybody worked with the HM700 and can you please provide your opinion of the camera? Also, please discuss the issue of horizontal resolution.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/midtones-on-jvc-gy-hd100u#post-49894 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:24:54 +0000 linserra 49894@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've been messing around with the setting in the HDV mode for months and no matter what I do I end up color correcting my footage because the midtones always come out too dark.

I bought this camera about a year ago and with all the problems I have had with the POOR Cyberlink software that comes with it did not use it much. I have had more time on my hand lately so I started playing around with it again. After MANY emails to customer service with JVC and Cyberlink I have found out they are not much help if any!!!!!!!! Basically JVS just blow me off. Cybelink set me s link to other software then what came with the camera but it is not much better if any. I get errors all the time and I have tried it on two different computers with the same operating system XP Pro and get the exact same errors. </p> <p>I understand about JVC format and was wondering what is a GOOD software that will work with this camera that I will be able to change the format so I do not have to use the VERY POOR Cyberlink software to play it back. Right now I can play it with other software like Windows Media Player and others but do not have any sound. The only way I can play it back and have sound is to use the POOR Cyblerlink software. </p> <p>I want to be able to burn DVDs so I can give them to friends and family and they will be able to play them and have sound with out having to use Cyberlink software to do it.<br />Thanks</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/capturing-with-fcp-v60-and-the-gy-hd200u#post-49407 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 17:09:41 +0000 swilliams 49407@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Ok I have a gig to film on saturday and this camera isn't working so hot right now with FCP.  I just bought it on Sunday so i'm still learning. </p> <p>Here's my problem.  When I'm capturing it keeps splitting up my clips into smaller ones, and it's also not capturing all of the footage.  Very unreliable at this point.</p> <p>I shot some test footage in HD720/24P  Can someone please let me know the settings I should be using.  </p> <p>I also exported the footage that I got in MP4 format with a H264 conversion.  The quality didn't really look much better then my DVX100 and the audio was off.  But it wasn't off in my timeline.  I'm over my head with this camera.  Need to shoot on Saturday and I'm freaking out. </p> <p>Any advice would be awesome. </p> <p> </p> <p>Steve</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/grd340-camcorder-newbie-advice#post-49402 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 09:31:07 +0000 karengarrett 49402@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi - Please forgive me.....I'm new to this.....</p> <p>Can anyone help me - I want to know if I can download video from camcorder to my PC?  I did not get a cable with the starter pack and there is no 'std' usb port.......</p> <p>If I can - what cable do I need to buy? </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-hm100-clip-exporting#post-49107 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:34:36 +0000 fisherman 49107@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hello, I've recently purchased the HM100, a super little camera and am having a bit of trouble understanding the best method for exporting the clips to an external drive. I shot the footage in MP4 mode on the camera since I'm a PC user. I can use the XDCAM software from an EX1 to manage the footage. Within the software it allows me to use either: MXF for NLE's (N), MXF for XDCAM HD (X), MXF for XDCAM HD422 (D), Raw DV (R), AVI DV (A) Avid AAF (V), Windows Media and a few others. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the best format is to export onto an external drive and hand off to an editor who's using Final Cut Pro? Again the clips were shot in MP4 format. </p> <p>Thanks!</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/upgrading-to-the-jvc-gyhd200-and-have-some-s#post-49047 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 17:53:28 +0000 swilliams 49047@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'm very excited about potentially upgrading to this camera.  I've narrowed my search between the GYHD200 and the Canon XL-H1a.  I'm currently using a DVX100.  so i'm thinking this will be a pretty big step.</p> <p>A few questions....  When I'm searching this camera on B&amp;H there a lot of different model numbers that I cant seem to understand.  there's the GYHD200, GYHD200U, GYHD200BXT for example.
