JVC Camcorder + Vista + Firewire + Dell = Trouble!!!

I purchased a Dell several weeks ago, with Windows Vista. The PC has a firewire port and I expressed to the salesman that one thing I wanted to be able to do is work with video from my JVC camcorder. I thought it would work.
Well, a week or so ago I tried to start working with this. The SHORT of it is....does not work...does NOT recognize the camcorder.
I could not get an answer from Dell or Best Buy on how to solve this. I was hoping that someone out here could help me find the answer I seek.....thanks.....kaj

Just for others use, I went to the Apple retail store. Eventually, the one-on-one trainer was able to bring the video up by starting both the play on the camcorder and the import on the screen of the iMovie application. The MANUAL setting must be used, as said earlier.
Now, if anyone could actually see my movie it would be great. Unfortunately, while we sent it to the Me.com Web gallery or whatever it is called now, none of the invited people can view the movie.
Oh my, this is a long process.

Satellite L300-243 to connect to JVC camcorder

Toshiba Satellite L300-243 was purchased primarily to use with Pinnacle 12 to do video editing.
My previous PC had a 4-4 firewall connection but there is no similar connection on laptop.
Do I use a 4 - USB lead to make the download from camcorder to laptop?
Or is there a different socket on laptop I need to use?
Bob

Hi
I assume the JVC camcorder supports the firewire interface and it was connected to the computer via firewire cable.
Unfortunately, it seems that Satellite L300-243 does not support the firewire port.
In your case you could purchase an Express card which contains firewire port.
Then you could connect the camcorder to the notebook.
Cheers

Using mac with JVC camcorder

Hi! i'm new the the world of mac and have just bought a JVC GZ-MG330 camcorder, and am having trouble getting my new macbook to recognise and play the video files. Am i missing some download or something? There must be a way to do it since the instructions say how to save it to a mac. Is there some editing downloads i need or something?? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!

Have a look at the thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1422086&tstart=26 batman's Frog.
The most promising answer there, from "baileybird", is:
"+have an IMAC Desktop 10.4.11 and yes the JVC GZ-MG330 does work with IMOVIE 08, just don't follow the JVC Manual+
+Connect the Camera to the PC as per their instructions+
+Select "Playback on PC" on the camera+
+Then an ICON will appear on the desktop called "EVERIO_HDD"+
+Then open IMOVIE 08 the software automatically attempts to import the files and you get a prompt on the screen to "IMPORT ALL" or the files you wish to import. Follow IMOVIE prompts from there - not the JVC brochure.+"
But there are some other suggestions, too.
Cheers

It looks like this:Click Here
They are fairly inexpensive at any electronics store.

How can i get my mac book pro to recognize a JVC camcorder?

How can I get my mac book pro to recognize a JVC camcorder using a Sony CAMERA USB cord??

Gotta say thank you — again. Sorry the posts were spread out over more than one location. I'll check and see if Third Party Software is considered a "peripheral", maybe that would have been a better single thread choice?
Definitely news we can use and the reference link is appreciated.
OT ~ We keep becoming more and more aware of how easy it is to lose one's bearings when it comes to keeping up with info tech. My husband and I are both official members of the geezer set and have been out of the work force for some years. You really do pick up so much just by being in the environment where people are using things to get work done. A couple of old MP3 players, PPC G5, and a vintage Inspiron 3800 that someone didn't want any more is about it. No cell phone, no iPod, no iPad, no home wireless network, no streaming media. Fixed income. So we do with what we can as long as we can. If we could get by without that Intel processor, we'd probably make do with what we've got. On the other hand, we've really wanted a notebook for a very long time and have to admit that needing to upgrade to accomodate my husband's project is pretty much just the "reason" we need. I really mean it when I say that we are beyond appreciative that users take the time to share info and patiently educate those of us who fall into the "slow tech" category.

MacBook Pro doesn't recognize JVC camcorder GR-X5E

Hello
Does somebody know any kind of "adapter" for MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5.8 that makes the signals of my JVC camcorder GR-X5E readable?
jvc.ch doesn't has a solution
Thank's in advance!

I only used the USB cable to connect camera and MacBook, opened iMovie and waited until the icon would appear. It didn't. Also on the desktop nothing happend.
Therefore I asked jvc.ch and they said, that there was no possibility...

How to output from media encoder to camcorder via firewire?

I am using CS5.5 media encoder to output edited hi def footage from premiere as DV widescreen to sony FX 1 camcorder via firewire.
How do I route the output from media encoder to the firewire output?
This is the same camera I use for acqusition & import into premiere via firewire.
Media Encoder appears to be encoding the footage properly.
Thanks in advance for any help.

How do I route the output from media encoder to the firewire output?
You don't--or can't, rather. You'd need to use Premiere Pro for this. Check this help page for details: Exporting to videotape

OS 10.6.8 idvd version 7.1.2 crash with JVC camcorder GZ-HM30BU

Has anyone had any difficulties with their idvd becoming non-usable?
I have a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 using idvd 7.1.2 and have a JVC camcorder GZ-HM30BU transferring HD video files using a SDHC card. After importing and editing using imovie, I share using media browser large (960x540). I then create a new dvd using idvd (DVD-R 4.7 GB). After the movie is finished burning the 1st copy ejects and then my macbook asks if I would like to create another dvd. When I insert the new dvd, my macbook pro ejects the blank dvd and states "done" even though the copy was not made. I must then select "cancel". After that, I am no longer able to create dvds using my macbook without replacing the idvd application from my backup disc. Has anyone had any difficulties with their idvd becoming non-usable?

thanks guys; but the problem is that iDVD does not want to burn a disk now from the original movie-project. i see the movie project on teh desktop and can launch it just fine - even play it through the iDVD application - but when i click burn, it asks for a disk (I insert a memorex DVD+RDL 8.5Gb 240 minute dual layer) and it ejects it a few seconds later. the IDVD progress bar still runs as though it is burning just fine - its progress drops from 18 minutes all the way to "less than a minute" and then it hangs. even if i insert a different memorex disk, it still doesn't start actually burning it. it only burned the very first memorex disk i inserted successfully. i have tried disk utility to burn from a .dmg file copy of the original successfully burned disk, but disk utility can't burn onto the memorex disk either. maybe something wrong with the super drive? thanks for your ideas.

Oh, PLEASE IGNORE the line:

That was left there inadvertedly. Can't seem to find the edit button here...

Converting a .mod file from a JVC camcorder

I have a JVC camcorder that records video in .mod files (their own format). Does anyone know how I can strip the audio from these files to play them on my iphone? Thanks.

A Google search came up with this: http://www.tipard.com/mod-converter-for-mac.html
I've no idea what its like but there's a demo to try...

Missing Audio when Sharing to JVC Camcorder

When attempting to share my iMovie with my JVC camcorder via iLink, the video records on the camcorder but the sound does not. The camera is set to 16 bit sound. No sound comes out of the iMac or into the camcorder. When the iLink is removed, the sound plays fine on the computer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

Turns out the audio needed to be linked to the .motn sequence.

Sony Camcorder with Firewire & USB to L505-S6946 Laptop eSATA or USB

I would like to use my Sony camcorder's Firewire or USB port to download to my L505-S6946 Toshiba Satellite (Windows 7) laptop but the laptop does not have a firewire port and it is not seeing the camcorder when I try the USB port. The laptop only has USB and eSATA ports. There is no slot for PC or Express cards for a Firewire adapter either.
Is there any way to make the USB or eSATA connection work?
Sony support for Windows 7 says that the drivers for the camcorder are already on the laptop and that USB streaming is not supported. That leaves me with trying to find a way to connect to the eSATA port on the laptop. Any help on getting the camcorder to download to the laptop would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Join the club. I've been searching for a while without much luck. Right now there appears to only be one company which makes a Firewire to USB cable. Good luck finding a place that sells it though.
http://www.pixela.co.jp/en/products/tv_capture/pix_uvcd_u1w/index.html
There are apparently USB/Firewire hubs like this one from IOGear but I have yet to find one that allows for only a USB connection on the computer side, so far they all appear to require a firewire port on the computer in additon to the USB port. Hopefully there is a device out there at relatively low cost that will allow for firewire to usb for those laptops (of which there are more and more) that don't have a firewire port or a cardbus/pcmcia slot.
What I've been doing in the mean time is to use a desktop compter with a firewire card to capture the video, then transfer (via network or external hard drive) to the L505 to do further editing from there. I didn't think that not having a firewire port would be an issue when I bought the laptop but it became one.

Using camcorder via firewire as audio source

I've connected my camcorder via firewire and I want to record audio from it... but I'm stuck. Is it possible? How do I go about it?

Precisely. The problem is I have to use analog audio path, digital audio over FireWire is not recognized by the sound system. QT does, so does Audion, Skype and Sound Panel doesn't.

Cannot find video on ipad that was transfered from jvc camcorder via everio sync app and wifi

Transfer of video file (MP4) from JVC camcorder by Everio Sync app and direct wi-fi from camera to iPad (latest model and IOS) apparently completed OK. However, I cannot find the video file on the iPad (not in "VIDEOS". ??????

Are you really looking in the Videos App or are you looking in iTunes?
The videos app is the icon that looks like a blue clapperboard from a movie set.

HT1596 connect camcorder to FireWire 400 port

What do I need to connect an HD miniDV camcorder to FireWire 400 port?
thanks

Hi a,
It has to have a FW400 or FW800 port, then you just need a FW400 to FW400 cable or FW800 to FW400 cable. If it has USB, then that's what you have to use.
