It would help if you give us the exact model JVC camcorder you have.
That said, nearly all miniDV camcorders (including JVC miniDV cams) transfer video via Firewire (aka iLink or IEEE 1394), not USB.   And no drivers are required, at least not on a Mac.  If you have a more recent Mac that has a Thunderbolt port (no Firewire port), you can use an Apple Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter to connect your camcorder to your Mac (although you may also need a 4-pin to 9-pin FW cable).
Also, on miniDV camcorders that have both Firewire and USB connections, the USB connection is almost exclusively reserved for transferring still photos from the memory card in the camcorder, not video from the miniDV cassettes.

  • Can recommend a slim/mini video camera that is compatible with FCE ?

    I have some technical problem.
    My video camera is too big in size to film in between spaces. My friend has build a model of a few cluster of flats. He wants me to help him film the spaces between the flats from the bird's eye perspective. By bird's eye perspective, he meant to say he wants me to record what the bird can see if the bird fly surrounding the flats & between the flats & then make turns surrounding the buildings.
    My present video is too bulky to squeeze into those small models.
    I think the only way is to purchase a video camera that is so slim like a shape if pencil so that it can go in between the blocks.
    Where can I buy this ? Will this type of video (if exist) records video in good quality & compatible with FCE4 ?
    Thanks

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    You should look in Radio-Controled airplane model equipment. There are mini camera that mount on the model and broadcast the video on the air to a receiver that can be connected to a camcorder. You can connect them on any VCR
    See example:

  • Ts-L633a DVD drive not compatible with Windows 7 64bit upgrade

    Ts-L633a DVD drive on my Pavilion Dv7 1232nr is not compatible with Windows 7 64bit upgrade but will work fine if I downgrade back to Vista 64bit so what DVD drive is there other then the TS-L633a drive that I already have that is compatible with the Windows 7 64 upgrade so that I can buy and install on my laptop.

    Here's one out of nowhere:  do you have CD/DVD software that includes Sonic DLA or something like it?  I've seen that take over drives and prevent normal operation.
    If you right click on the drive and hit properties, are there any suspicious looking tabs?
    Total WAG, and about 1% likely, but there you go.

  • Looking for a sports video camera that is compatible with the mac

    Looking for a video camera that can record sports well and is also compatible with the mac. I've been using iMovie to edit videos for a highlight reel of my highschool soccer games that I coach.

    I like Sony HD MiniDV (HDV) Handycam Camcorder - HDRFX1000, but I have also used several older Sony (DCR-TRV17 and DCR-TRV70) and Canon (VIXIA HV20, VIXIA HV30, and VIXIA HV40) tape-based Firewire-equipped camcorders with good results.
    I prefer tape-based Firewire-equipped cameras because of their IEEE 1394 transfer speed, compatibility with iMovie HD, and ability to serve as the source recording directly into iMovie when desired.  If none of these characteristics is important to you, other Mac-compatible camcorders with suitable zoom ranges and lens speeds for the light levels you encounter should also do nicely for recording at your games.
    You do not say which iMovie version you are using, but you can find about known compatible camcorders by searching for the info in a search like this one.

  • Satellitte c855d-s5320 hdd driver not compatible with windows 10

    Extremely dissatisfied with "toshiba so called support". Because once your out of warranty you have no support unless you pay $$$$$$$$. Your drivers were not compatable with the windows 10 upgrade and I cannot find information from your site to upgrade the hhd driver. The link microsoft has to your driver support page only goes to windows 8.1. Shame on Toshiba for not having a way for customers that are computer illiterate to recieve the help we need.

    That model isn't supported for upgrade to Windows 10 currently.

  • I am wanting to upgrade to a $2,000 HD video camera that is compatible with downloading to Apple, any suggestions?

    I am going to start shooting weddings and need to upgrade my camera.
    Thank you for taking time to help!

    RAM isnt going to speed up the spindle speeds on a conventional HD
    Apple uses Hitachi and Toshiba conventional HD,     A nice 1TB Hitachi 7200RPM HD will run you $90  (or $70 for a 5400 RPM)
    This is what Apple uses in conventional HD, and I have many myself:
    $93

    The Hybrid will work, however do not recommend the Seagate nor the Seagate SSHD, ..that however is a subjective statement.

  • My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

    My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

    What you need to do is temporarily set up your new 4. Just long enough to update the operating system. Then you can erase all content and settings - which puts it back to its out of box state, then set it up again, this time restoring it from the backup of your two.
    So, using the same Apple ID on both - just to keep things easy - set up your 4. Just basically choose 'set up as new' to activate it, then immediately update the iOS to 7.1.2.
    then erase all content and settings, which puts it back to 'llike new'...but the operating system will not reset, it'll remain 7.1.2
    Then set it up again, this time choosing to 'restore from the backup' of your 2 and your 4 will be a near clone of your two.

  • My MacBook died and my hard drive was removed, are my existing files only compatible with Apple products?

    My MacBook died and my hard drive was removed, are my existing files only compatible with Apple products? Are the files encrypted with Apple OS or am I able to import my files to Microsoft programs?

    The drive as a whole can’t be read on a PC without installing software such as MacDrive on it.
    The answer varies for individual document files; some file formats can be read by Windows software, while others can't.

  • I just discovered my videos from my Canon digital camera are not compatible with imovie or idvd so I need new software. Any ideas?

    Hi. I just discovered my videos from my Canon digital camera are not compatible with imovie or idvd (I'm very disappointed about that.) The photos are stored in my iphoto and I can burn a dvd using idvd but there is no audio So.... I need new software. I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and my digital still camera is the Canon Cybershot These are home movies of my kids and the viedeos are precious. Thanks in advance!

    Canon Cybershot
    I can't trace a camera of that name. All that comes up is either the Sony Cybershot or the Canon Powershot!
    Please confirm excactly what camera you have, and what version of iMovie.

  • Looking for a retail available camera that is compatible with FMLE

    I am looking for a retail available camera that is compatible with FMLE.  I do not have a computer with HDMI input, and in the past, I have typically ran with a USB connection.  Does anyone know of a camera that is available at a local retail store that would work with FMLE through a USB connection?

    Webcams will work, although they may not give you the flexibility that you're looking for with a more traditional "camera".
    You may be more interested in looking at a converter/digitizer -- something that can take a variety of inputs and pull those into your computer as a a video source that your computer, and FMLE, sees as a "camera". 
    Look at this page:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/flashmediaencoder/devicematrix.html
    You'll see a variety of webcams, capture cards, cameras, and other devices that are known to work with FMLE.  Most of those solutions, however, require the installation of a card or require that you have Thunderbolt connections or FireWire connections.  Not on that list is the Dazzle line of digitizers.  I know several people who use Dazzles with FMLE -- and while each one seems to have issues that you have to be aware of, they do work (some better than others).  As long as you're aware of the issues, it's not a problem working with these devices -- and they're pretty inexpensive.  The Dazzle Video Creator Platinum seems to have the least amount of problems (the only real problem that I'm aware of is that you have to be sure to disable your preview windows in FMLE if you want to make changes to the source settings -- or it will crash FMLE.  But, once you get your settings in place you can enable the preview windows again and don't have to worry about it).  The great thing about a digitizer is that you can now use any camera that can output to standard composite cables (the yellow, red, and white 'RCA' cables -- or SVideo cable).  So your camera selection possabilities increase greatly.
    If you're looking for a standalone camera that can deliver a live video feed through USB -- good luck.  I'm sure they're out there, but your choices are going to be very limited.
    Personally, I use the Canopus ADVC110 -- which allows me to hook up any camera (or even a playback deck/DVR/DVD player, etc.) that can output composite (RCA) or FireWire or S-Video.  The ADVC110 will not work for you, as you need FireWire to hook up to your computer, but just in case you do have FireWire I can tell you that it is a stellar box with no issues at all.

  • I accidentally deleted Garageband on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8.  The new version of Garageband is only compatible with 10.9 and above.  Is it possible to still get the older version?  OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD  for my computer

    I accidentally deleted GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8.  The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above.  Is it possible to still get the older version?  OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?

    The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above.
    If your Mac can run MacOS X 10.6.8, it probably can be upgraded to Yosemite, if you don't have to stick to Snowleopard for other reasons.
    Is it possible to still get the older version?
    Amazon or eBay are still selling iLife '11 installer disks, and you could reinstall GarageBand from these DVDs. But it will be expensive.
    Have you checked your backups, if you can restore GarageBand from a backup?
    OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?
    Sometimes the AppleStore Support will replace missing installer CDs for a fee.

  • I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon.  Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

  • I have a JVC video camera and it records the video to a .mod format (which Apple devices don't support). I figured out how to get them to iPhoto using iMovie but I want to be able to get the videos on my iPad 2 but it won't let it sync. Any help?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks
