Need help with Digital Camcorder compatibility!

I am looking to buy a digital video camera but I am not sure if they are "compatible" with my iMac. My friend just bought the JVC - Everio Digital Camcorder - Model: GZMG330HUS. It comes with Windows software and the manual has a brief mention of how to Backup-Up the video files onto the Mac but no mention of the video format being compatible with Mac. Anyway we tried plugging it into the Mac to see how it responded, and it did not, except that it saw it as a device that we could access the video files to copy then to the Mac hard drive. The Video files have an extendion .MOD and .MOI. Tried double clicking on the MOD (the video itself) and the Mac gave the message that no application exists to run it.
I really want iMovie to recognize it so I can edit the video and make movies to sent to family.
So, my question is whether any of you have tried this? Is there a solution to get this type of camera to be recognized by iMac? Are there other suggestions for compatible cameras in the $400 range (like this JVC is)?
Thanks in advance.

I had an issue with a JVC customer service rep that caused me to return a JVC camcorder that would not work with my iMac. I have since purchased the Panasonic PV-GS320 mini/dv camcorder.
Fantastic video and absolutely no problems. Recognized through iMovie, iDVD and FCE HD 3.5 via firewire. How-ever, you will have to purchase a firewire cable as it is not supplied with the camcorder.
Also in your price range, around $350.00.
Hope this helps.

    Hi Ashish,
    Since the title of your post refers to Adobe Acrobat, and the
    mention of RoboHelp is conspicuously absent, I suspect you are in
    the wrong forum. You probably need the Acrobat forum instead.

  • Need help with digital audio out on qip7232

    Have seen lots of posts about digital and optical outputs from the QIP 7232. I want to run a digital, stereo, 2 channel LPCM signal out to a stereo receiver. There are posts on this forum that say that both outputs are disabled by Verizin. There are other posts that suggest various settings that could be tried but none of these have been  confirmed to work. I have set the output to Stereo in the regular menu. I have set the output to LPCM in the hidden menu. Still, no audio output. I do have analogue output from the stereo left and right but want to get digital. Can anyone help ? Does anyone have either the digital or optical outputs working? Thank you Jim {Edited for privacy}

    toslink cable will also work with MBP.

  • Need help with digital photos that turn fuzzy in Final Cut Pro 5

    I read the whole thread on using still pictures in FCP 5 without finding a solution to the problem I am having these days. The digit pictures I am using are all around 1632 x 1232 pixels (230 dpi), they are about 43.8% after I drop them onto the timeline and I zoom in to no more than 75%. I don't know why dark colour edges in the pictures look pixelated. The picture quality (sharpness) also does not look not as good as it appears in the viewer. I tried resizing them in photoshop before bringing them onto FCP but that does not improve the picture quality. I also tried various video filters: Shift, de-interlace, but without any satisfactory result.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions on this issue.

    It's almost to start guessing because you seem to have tried everything. But we can't tell if you applied these changes or filters properly without watching you or your output.
    My main problem is pixelated edges especially when there is a big contrast in colour. <</div>
    this could just be what you're stuck with. DV and MPEG2 are terrible codecs for hard edges. Professionally produced DVDs are carefully encoded using bigger-badder tools than you have at your disposal.
    Don't resize your images in PS, just bring them in full size and scale them locally in FCP. An image that is 1kx1k will only display about one-fourth of the image in the Canvas at full size because the Canvas only displays about 500x700 pixels.
    The scaling algorithm in FCP totally blows but it's a video app and should not be compared to PS. You do not need Photoshop scaling quality, wasted energy. What you DO need is proper motion blur for your moves, a bit of Gaussian to hide the inevitable artifacting.
    Open the manual and look up rendering options and render settings and realtime settings. The FCP5 settings offer some interesting options with meaningless descriptions.

  • Need help with Digital 8

    Using iMovie 11.
    I have imported and edited my Digital 8 movie but have no idea whatsoever how to save/export it. There is no DVD drive on here so I would like to save to a format to store on a hard drive and play on TVs.
    Should I
    Export Movie:   Medium, Large, HD720, HD1080
    or
    Export using Quicktime:  Movie to - Avi, DV Stream, MPEG 4, Quicktime Movie
    Then which options:
         DVPAL, DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, DVCPro50-NTSC, H.264, Mpeg4 video.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Overwhelmed

    In order to play the video on a TV, you need a device connected to your televison.  You need to figure out what device you are going to use to play it back on the TV before you can pick the format. 
    In the future, you probably don't want to edit interlaced video on iMovie 11.  iMovie 11 removes the interlacing and reduces your resolution.  iMovie 6 is a better option if you can still find it. 

  • Need help with Snow Leopard compatibility issue

    We have a new iMac in (with Snow Leopard) and have loaded all our programs. Due to budgets, we have not made the jump to CS4 and are still on CS3 (waiting for 5). We work in an InDesign/InCopy workflow.
    In launching InDesign on the MAc with Snow Leopard, we have noticed that the assignment folders are nonexistant and within the program you can't even open an assignment window. When you reopen on a system without Snow Leopard, the individual assignments are there, but the program states it can't find the main assignment, so it's cancelling out the assignments if opened on the Snow Leopard unit.
    Does anyone have any info on compatibility issues with Indesign CS3 and Snow Leopard? My tech guy found nothing on this before we ordered the new system.

    First things first. CS5 was announced today and preorders are being accepted.
    I believe if you upgrade to CS4 you'll get a free copy of CS5. This is important because if you're upgrading a suite, tiered pricing makes CS3 to CS4 $200 less than waiting til CS5 comes out.
    That out of the way, is everyone fully patched to CS3 5.0.4? Is Snow Leopard fully updated to 10.6.3? Do you have full read/write permission on the server?

  • I need help with digital painting

    I have a sketch that I want to add color to but it always turns out flat-looking (if that makes sense). I can't seem to find any good tutorials online on digital painting. Can anyone give me good tips? This is the sketch.

    Chrishonda, I may be missing something but . . Can I say painting in digital is very much like painting in canvas. Have you approached it as putting down some light base color in front of the face, say right cheek there. Brush darker as you move away from the cheek bone toward the temple. less dark as you move toward the nose. Then go back the the cheek bone and put down some lighter tone, right where the light would be reflecting off the cheek bone high spot. In PShop, set your brush options to "Fade" in x pixels, try 25 or maybe 100, depending on size and resolution.
    You might check out a post or 'how to' on 'painting on layers with 50 gray fill'.
    and have fun .

  • I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.

    Hi, thanks for reading!
    I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
    I have a problem where I need to use a corporate designed
    .swf in a digital signage solution, but have been told by the legal
    department that it can not be modified in any way, I also can't
    have the source file yada yada. I pulled the .swfs from their
    website and I decompiled them to see what I was up against.
    The main swf that I need to control is HCIC.swf and the
    problem is it starts w/ a preloader, which after loading stops on a
    frame that requires user input (button press) on a play button,
    before the movie will proceed and play through.
    What I have done so far is to create a container swf,
    HCIC_container.swf that will act as Target for the HCIC.swf, and
    allow me to send actionscript to the file I'm not allowed to
    modify.
    I managed to get that done with the help of someone on
    another forum. It was my hope that the following script would just
    start HCIC.swf at a frame past the preloader and play button, and
    just play through.
    var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container",
    getNextHighestDepth());
    var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcLoader.addListener(this);
    mcLoader.loadClip("MCIC.swf", container);
    function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
    mc.gotoAndPlay(14);
    But unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Because there
    is a media-controller.swf, that is being loaded by HCIC.swf that
    has the controls including the play button to start HCIC.swf.
    Here's a link to a .zip file with all 3 .swf files, and all 3
    .fla files.
    http://www.axiscc.com/temp/HCIC.zip
    What I need to do is automatically start the HCIC.swf file
    bypassing the pre-loader and play button without editing it or the
    media-controller.swf in anyway. So all the scripting needs to be
    done in HCIC_container.swf.
    I know this is confusing, and its difficult to explain, but
    if you look at the files it should make sense.
    ActionScripting is far from my strong point, so I'm
    definitely over my head here.
    Thanks for your help.

    Got my solution on another forum.

    A character class [...] robs some otherwise special codes from their magic. The +, for instance, is interpreted as a plus, not as "repeat ad nauseum" anymore.
    So your try [\d+] will simply match either a single digit or a single plus. The solution is to move the + outside of the character class
    [\d]+
    .. and in that case there is no reason anymore to create a class for just digits, as you got it already.
    The period *needs* to  be escaped, because otherwise it will match *any* character.
