Problem transferring JVC Everio HD Camcorder Video files to ZEN 1

I can't seem to succesfully transfer video files recorded by my JVC Everio hard dri've camcorder to my ZEN. The files as originally downloaded from camcorder to PC are?.MOD format which is not visible to ZEN Explorer as a videofile and will not convert at all. I?changed the file extension to .AVI?and these are now visible and will convert and transfer, but?cannot be played by my ZEN.
Has anybody else had similar problems, or?does anybody have any suggestions?p.s. I have succesfully transfered other video files including AVI files?recorded using my Fuji stills camera.

welcome batman to the  board ...
well... the iApps iMovie and iDVD are meant to work
with firewire connected miniDV camcorders...
you lose the convenience of the iApps... anyhow:
Streamclip
(free) is the weapon of choice, in case, your
HDcorder stores as mpeg1...
for mpeg2 conversion, you need additionally the Apple
mpeg2 plugin (20$) ...
helpful?
Thanks for the quick response!
Well, I think they are in mpeg2 format, but not positive. Anyway, I did away with miniDV camcorders because they transfer much slower to the computer than the HD camcorder...but now I get this issue! lol I guess that's what I get for switching to a Mac!
Is there any other way besides the $20 plugin to convert the file? Will the plugin lose any quality in the conversion process?

LR 4.2 won't import a JVC Everio MOD (MPG) video file

I have hundreds of JVC Everio video files that are natively created as MOD files on the camcorder. However, I can copy them to my Windows 7 system and simply rename them as *.MPG files and they play fine in Windows Media Player. I noticed that Adobe Premier Elements can import MOD files, but I get a "There is a problem with the video file..." error message in LR4.2 when I try to import the renamed MPG file. The Import function won't display MOD files as a valid file format, but the MPG files do appear in the Import browser list.
Below are the specs from the MOD file renamed to MPG.

I'm confused about the licensing issue.
Cyberlink PowerDirector will successfully import and manipulate both *.MOD files and MOD files renamed as *.MPG.
Adobe Premier Elements can (apparently) import MOD files (see http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/supported-file-formats-premiere-elements.html).
Why can't Lightroom?
Any recommendations on what format to convert the MOD files to so I can import them into Lightroom?

IMovie 2008 and JVC Everio HD Camcorder

I recently purchased a brand new iMac and a JVC Everio HD Camcorder. The first time I tried to import the videos taken from my JVC, iMovie recognized it. Now it seems that it does not. Everytime I connect the camcorder to the iMac only iPhoto opens. When I go to "File" "Import from camera" the internal iMac camera opens but nothing with the Everio Camcorder.
What is wrong?

The same happens to us. The JVC HD camcorder had worked fine importing when I dragged the .TOD movie files in to iMovie 06. Now,I try to drag the same file type to iMovie 08 -- and it doesn't even recognize the file.
But iMovie 06 recognizes 1440 CBR files when importing via firewire. Maybe if you film in CBR format, iMovie 08 will recognize he file? Here's a link to the JVC's site for a tutorial on the CBR format: http://media2.jvc.com/camcorder/macHD.mov
Hmmm, but what about my .TOD files in iMovie 08?????? That's the problem! Thanks for any and all help!

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

JVC Everio HD Camcorder

I have a new JVC Everio HD Camcorder (records on hard disk) and iMovie6....iMovie 6 does not recognize my JVC camcorder and I can't import movies from it to iMovie or make a magic iMovie. The Mac software that came with my JVC is installed...so the JVC should be compatible with my Mac, shouldn't it? I tried everything that Help told me to but still no luck. Has anyone else encountered this issue-any advice on what to do?
Thanks-
Ellen

Hi There!
I too have been wondering what is the best way to convert the Everio's raw format of .MOD without loss of quality?
I see the Capty MPEG Edit application has lots of options?
MPEG (System stream & elementarty stream)
DV Stream
Quicktime Movie
Has anyone played around with these and found what the best quality is? I guess I will want to edit them and understand that the conversion has to be DV to use iMovie, does this effect quality?
Also, are there any quick ways to play the raw formats on the mac without waiting so long for the conversion?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Converting video files for zen

}Hello,
I recently sold my old desktop and purchased a laptop. I need to obtain software that will convert my video files to suitable files for my creative zen. I will be putting them on the external memory card thats in my zen, so what program can I use to convert the video files on my laptop first before putting onto the memory card?
Thanks!

"Re: Converting video files for zen?Use the Creative Video Converter. ?You can download it from the Creative Support website. ?If you have the Creative Zen (i.e., the credit card sized one that was released after the Zen Vision series and before the Zen MX), then use this link:

Convert .mpeg files from JVC Everio HD Camcorder for iDVD/iMovie use?

Hello,
I am a brand new Mac user, but an experienced PC user. I have a JVC Everio 30gb HD camcorder that records video as .mod files, which can then be changed to .mpeg format to view. I want to edit these files and make home DVDs with iMovie and iDVD, but they say that the .mpeg format is not recognized. What do I need to do to use these .mpeg video files with these software programs?
Many thanks in advance!

Problem "DRM busy" when including a video file (.ts)

I owned the Premier Elements 12 and all simple cut and burn procedures worked well.
I use it mainly for burning DVDs using recordings from TV with file format .mpg or .ts.
But one single .ts file could not be loaded into the workplace, posting the (german) error message "Diese Datei kann nicht geöffnet werden, da die Berechtigungverwaltung gerade bearbeitet wird" means as I guess:
"File can not be opened because DRM is busy".
I would understand if the source was a copy right DVD or similar, but this file is one of many out of a doku sequence from the same TV station which all be could be cut and burned without troubles except this one single file!
(The size of the mentioned video is 5GB but even larger files could be opened correctly)
Remark: Instead of this it is allready possible to copy this file anywhere and to play it at the PC by an viewer!
The questiones are:
1. Why is DRM "busy", waiting for which event?
2. How can I check if this is a feature caused by an attribute of the recorded file or if is a bug of the program PE12?
3. How can I workaround?
Hoping for a solution and not only boring anybody
br mike
PS.:
using PE12 at HP ProBook with Windows7prof

I found out some new information about the DRM problem which shifted the point of view but didnt solve the problem itself (file couldnt be opened):
When I tried to see the attributes of the mentioned file by using the PE12 menu, the following error msg appeared:
"Eigenschaften dieser Datei konnten nicht abgerufen werden"
~ "Attributes of this file could not be read".
EVEN all the attributes of this video file can be read by the MS-file-attributes command correctly as for each other video file (size, length, rate etc)!
The question now is why is PE12 not able to read and show the file attributes as MS does?
Can anybody analyze this file (5GB!) or how can I do it myself?
Is there a header which could be separated for analyzing?

Problem on DMM 5.0 for Video files created in Adobe Premier CS4

We are using a DMM version 5.0.0 and created video files in Adobe Premier CS4. I have saved different file versions ( mpeg1, mpeg2, mpeg2 DVD, Flv) but to no success, could not get it to work on our system. Is there a specific way to save files in this version (CS4)of Premier?

What device are you going to use the video content for?
Digital Media Players(DMPs) or Video Portal?

Extreme trouble transfering video files to ZEN MX

I'm having trouble putting videos on my Zen MX. I've tried a multitude of ways to transfer the file(s);
. Using Centrale with a normal avi. file - convert unsuccessful.
2. Using Format Factory to change the avi. file using the preset conditions for Zen MX and then using Centrale with the new file - convert unsuccessful.
3. Using Format Factory to change the avi. file to WMA. format and then using Centrale with the new file - convert unsuccessful.
I just cannot understand why this isn't working. Any suggestions welcome, because if this doesn't work I'm going to have to buy an iPod and I can't be dealing with that shi.

please creative. Scrap the useless fileformat and start support the ones we actually use!

Can't Upload video files onto Zen Visio

Well the title pretty much explains it... i've followed the guide in the intructions book and i still can't get it to work. do i have to download some sort of codec's for it or something?Message Edited by Oshapash on 2-02-20070: PM

I have had this same problem I believe. If you find the video file on your computer and right click on it, go to properties, click on the details tab, and find the Audio title. If the quality is above 28 kbps it will not be able to be put on your player.
The video converter does not reduce the audio quality so that it will work, it only converts the video....stupid Yes! If you can find a solution to this problem, please let me know!

How to recover hidden video files on Zen X-Fi

Hi all,
The screen cracked on my Zen X-Fi, so nothing is visible. I think it also may somehow be out of power and not rechargable.
What I need to do is recover some of the videos I had on there, but I had them as "hidden" video files.
Is there some way to hook the X-Fi up to my computer, use it as an external disk, find the hidden files, and copy them? I can't even get it to look like an external disk in Windows Explorer.
Any ideas? I'd be grateful. Thank you.

How long do you have it plugged in to charge? Leave it plugged in for an hour to see if there is any response.
If it's completely dead then I am afraid you won't be able to transfer the files back to your computer. There are third-party vendors that offer data recovery services for a fee, you might want to do a google search for them.
