Unregistered guest | I bought a JVC cam D33 version, i tried to connect it to my pc using a dv cable i also bought. it was just giving me the message "unknown device found" and could not thus detect any signal from the cam. do i need the software for Dv cables installed on my pc or what do i need to make it work? |

Siddhu Unregistered guest | God looks like so many people have this issue. Im trying to use my JVC DVL-510U to connect to a firewire on my AMD Opteron with Xp Pro SP2. I did manage to connect it the first time and it worked!! I could capture video flawlessly. Then i removed the camcorder to bring it to work on another Pc. Connected it and windows wouldnt recognize this. So i thought maybe somethines wrong with this particular installation of windows etc. I took it back home and connected it back to my pc on which it had previously worked but this time it just stopped recognizing my cam!!! What? I think its a camcorder issue and not a windows issue. Ive tried this cam on 3 diff machines all running WinXp and none of them recognize this cam anymore  . Bought a pinnacle AVDV card that has a firewire port and that wont recognize this cam either! So im wondering what could make the cam stop being recognized like this. Whats more if i connect the cam to my firewire the IE3394 shows up in the network adapters which would never happen earlier. So i uninstalled that particular entry in the network adapters, with the camera on. After that entry had been deleted i removed the firewire cord from my camera and windows made that chiming sound. The same one taht it makes when it detects something. But well, it only made a sound and didnt detect my camera. This probably means that there is some sort of wierd communication happening but the pc isnt recognizing my cam. I have now 3 firewire ports on my pc. None of them recognize it and nor do 3 other intel systems. I have also tried doing this with a fresh install of XP with SP2 without any updates. Why would my cam suddenly stop being recognized after 4 hours of previous succesful capture!!!God my only option is to buy a GL2 which i am going to buy anyways cause this JVC is the shitz! |

New member Username: JohnnyboyPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-05 | Hi You seem very happy with your JVC GR 270. I also have one but I do not understand why the quality of still images (photos) is so poor, both with the memory card & the tape. The edges of objects in still images appear as jerky lines rather than rounded edges, and the overall photo quality is piss-poor. What could I be doing wrong? I have another much cheaper digital camera which is much better! Any ideas? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3607 Registered: Dec-03 | Because the JVC GR270 is not designed as a digital still camera. Great motion camera but it was not meant for stills. |
|
New member Username: JohnnyboyPost Number: 2 Registered: Aug-05 | Ah. Thank you for that. I wish they'd told me that in the shop! |

New member Username: JohnnyboyPost Number: 3 Registered: Aug-05 | OK, and one more thing... does anyone know...? I have a JVC GR270 and I want to export video images from the mini DV tape to my PC with Windows XP. Which software is best for capturing video of this kind? I have tried: 1) Windows Movie Maker - which gives quite good results but uses a horrific amount of memory, 2) Intervideo Win DVD creator, which always turns out a bit blurry 3) Adobe Premiere Pro version 7.0 and Ulead video studio version 8.0, both of which create video files with horizontally "lined" edges around the objects in the video, plus Adobe Premiere Pro seems horrendously complicated. (Will the lines be evened out if I convert the avi file created into an mpeg2 file?). Basically all I want to do is transfer video to my PC then use software to make a film. Does anyone know about this? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3617 Registered: Dec-03 | You keep inferring to the horizontal lines. Are you filming in wide screen? |
|
New member Username: JohnnyboyPost Number: 4 Registered: Aug-05 | No, I'm using the normal full screen setting. The lines I'm talking about are like little spikes at the edge of the images, rather than rounded, smooth edges (I mean the at the edges of things IN the video, like the edge of a person being filmed, not the border of the screen) when I capture them onto my PC. Actually, the results aren't too bad with Adobe Premiere Pro. But I am VERY upset about the photo (stills) quality. It appears patchy, with squared edges, and is frankly embarrassing compared to the quality of photos taken on other cameras which cost a fifth of what I paid for the JVC GR 270. I would never have bought this camera if I'd known that the photos would turn out this bad. Do you think there might be a way of enhancing the photo quality using software such as Jasc Paint Shop Pro? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3625 Registered: Dec-03 | I doubt it but you can try. You have to realize that those still pictures just are not up to par with digital still cameras. You are basically using a sensor that is not optimized for stills. You should use a dedicated digital camera just for stills. And do not get a digital camera that also takes movies.  |

Unregistered guest | I have been searching for several lifetimes every nook and cranny of the net for a solution to a dilemna that I have come to realise is shared, in various incarnations, by a shiteload of other JVC users. This is my first attempt at a forum, and last resort ! This is it in a nutshell: 1. I have a JVC GRD73 2. I want to use it on my XP as a webcam 3. I can use it easily on my Win98 as a webcam 4. The software that came (Imagemixer) loads easily onto Win 98: (3 components) Imagemixer/Streaming Driver/Mass Storage 5. When trying to load software onto XP, only Imagemeixer component is available as install. (No streaming driver which I need for webcam, no mass storage) 6. When attaching the camera via USB in identical fashion to how I attach it to Win98 computer - nothing ! 7. Please, I dont want to buy a firewire (on sheer principle). JVC said it can be used as a webcam through USB, it works on Win98, so Godamnit why shouldnt it work on XP (Home). ....Anyone ?? Thankyou...that feels better. |

Anonymous | GRD290 usb problem solved. It is a mistake by JVC - usb will not transfer video YOu will need to use firewire. If you haven't got one buy a pci card and cable from CPC for $17.50 see link It worked for me 1st time. |
|
Unregistered guest | In this forum I do not see anyone using GR-D270U with Windows ME operating system? My Sony VIAO laptop has firewire port and camera came bundled with USB cable. Do I new cable that connects camera to firewire? OR Do I need converter from USB to Firewire and use same cable? Once I connect via firewire - will i be able to get still images from tape to computer? Will I also be able to get video to computer? Do I need any software to download this videos? Or it can be directly played in windows media player? If I can access video isnt it going to be huge file to access 60 mins of video? Please advise |

urbanpackmule Unregistered guest | i suppose i should address this: dear gromit, i'm currently running xp x64 edition on my amd 64-bit system. i have a jvc gr-d32u plugged into a firewire port in my audigy 2 zs. i have no problems capturing using bundled or third party software, except for yahoo messenger, where the camcorder is unrecognizable as a webcam. i'd assume this is something to do with x64 functionality [as it's been trouble for just about every device]. any help with this would be grand. thanks, in advance. |

wei Unregistered guest | I just bought a JVC GR-D270. Can someone suggest a cheap firewire/cable/software bundle in order for me to download video to my PC? I lived in USA. Thanks a lot. |
|
John Sanderson Unregistered guest | "GRD290 usb problem solved. It is a mistake by JVC - usb will not transfer video YOu will need to use firewire." It's possible to transfer video by USB as I've tried it with MovieMaker with the JVC GRD290. The video quality won't be good though. Firewire is always the better option. |
|
Anonymous | For anyone who is asking "Where do you I find Windows XP drivers for my JVC camcorder?" The answer is you don't. As long as you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2. It should detect your camcorder and automatically self-install drivers for it. |

Anonymous | I have got a 4 pin to 4 pin fire wire cable and it wont fit in the usb port of my computer. Any body know why? I have tried bending the socket open with a screw driver to make it wider but the plug still dont fit. I have also tried another usb port and that dont work either. |

New member Username: John4438Orange Park, FL US Post Number: 3 Registered: Jun-05 | Firewire is a completely different input/output system from USB. It uses a different controller and different style connections. If your computer does not have a firewire port already, you will need to buy and install a firewire card as an addin inside the machine. Trying to force a firewire into a USB port will do nothing except possibly destroy both. If you have no expansion room, there are cards that do accomodate both USB and Firewire on the same card, but the different ports go through different and distinct circuits. |

Sudarshan Unregistered guest | Hi, I have just figured out how to transfer still/video from a JVC GR-D290 camcorder in "Play" mode, via USB on Windows XP Service Pack 2, courtesy a generic driver that Windows installed. Can anyone tell me how to use GR-D290 as a webcam? MSN Msgr does not recognise it at all. |

mlj Unregistered guest | I am using XP SP2 & trying to connect JVC GR-DX307 via 1394a ( with no luck ). Followed all the troubleshooting tips above right through rolling back to SP1 1394 drivers. Also tried connecting USB first for still pics ( got that to work ). However, no luck with 1394/video. I have a DFI UT NF4 SLI-D with onboard 1394 (VIA chipset), Athlon 64 3500 cpu. Tried 1394 PCI host controller (again, VIA chipset because I had it laying around). I now have a SIIG PCIx 1394 card on order (TI chip set) Hopefully this will allow video capture! No question, just feedback regarding all advise in this thread. Thanks for the info! |

JVC PISSED OFF Unregistered guest | Can the JVC D290 transfer video form the tape via USB or is it just Firewire??? |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 4069 Registered: Dec-03 | just firewire. |

help me out Unregistered guest | hi, i have a JVC D72. Can it transfer video from tape via USB? After reading the previous reviews, i really doubt it ! If firewire is required, can I use the bundled s/w ( Image Mixer) or is there any free s/w ( for Win 98 )? |

New member Username: JohnnyboyPost Number: 5 Registered: Aug-05 | Can anyone help me? I have a JVC GR-D270 video camcorder (with fireware connection), & several video files on my PC's hard disc which I want to tranfer onto standard video cassettes, using the video camera as a go-between. Is there any way I can transfer these AVI video files from my PC to the JVC camcorder using the fireware (DV) connection? In the instruction manual it explains how to do this from a VCR but not from a PC. Is there some way of doing this? |
|
New member Username: JohnnyboyPost Number: 6 Registered: Aug-05 | Sorry and I forgot to mention that I have already tried using the same method described in the instruction manual for transferring fom VCR to camcorder, but it doesn't seem to work from a PC. The screen stays blue instead of receiving the images via the foreware (DV) input. Any ideas? |

ARW Unregistered guest | I have JVV GR DVL720U and would like to download my videos into my PC (DELL 4600C). It appears from all I have read above that I need a Firewire connection. from there, Movie Maker should allow me to capture my videos into my PC (correct me if I am wrong). My problem is that my PC does not have a firewire connection and my PC does not have room in it to allow me to add an internal card. What can I do? I looked around to see if external cards were available but I don't really know what I am talking about. Help!! |

RiskItForADOnut Unregistered guest | Alright, I know you've heard this at least 500 times by now, but here goes. I have a Canon ZR80 MiniDV Camcorder, just got it yesterday. I took some test clips, installed the firewire card that I purchased, and uploaded using MyDVD (s/w that came with the card). There were no problems, I have that file on my computer now. That was yesterday. Today, when I go to MyDVD and hit "Capture", it claims "No valid video capture devices were detected. If you have a video device attached make sure it is an NTSC device or change your preferences." This is really beginning to bug the crap out of me, Movie Maker, VirtualDub, and Scenalyzer don't work either. I'm not sure how to go about remedying this problem, but I've come to the conclusion that it's not a sequence thing; I've been trying those all night. Please respond back and let me know what you think. Thanks! |

New member Username: Max945Post Number: 2 Registered: Oct-05 | I purchased a JVC GR-D275U and a 1394a Firewire card for my Dell computer. Can I download video from my camcorder to the computer using a 1394b Firewire card? Would this be faster? Also I installed the Firewire card in my computer purchased from Comp USA and it doesn't appear in device manager. Is it possible my computer does not recognize this card? |

DAJVCGUY Unregistered guest | My video camera (JVC-D72U ) and computer (HP) are not getting along at all but one thing I can say is make sure you plug in your computer to your camera and turn on camera BEFORE you open whatever software, my personal opinion, but, software seems like it wants it plugged in as it opens I have about four differt kinds of software ( all freebies ), my favorite is Showbiz , I push capture button in showbiz, screen opens in front with all proper info. JVC-GRD7U Etc. I hit done button Arcsoft is shut down and then I get a big blue screen from windows telling me of terrible errors and computer will be shut down immediately, anyway, never even got this far when opening software first then plugging in USB from video camera, as a matter of fact, nothing. Time for a firewire and everything else I read here. THANKS ecoustics.com !!!!!!!! |

blackscoobydo Unregistered guest | Hi all, this post is a FYI, after reading the whole thread, and having the same problems as all users with a JVC, I now have an operational pc(XPSP2)/camcorder working together !! >WOHOO< Im in Sydney - AUS, and have the JVC GR-D73A. USB stuff - webcam works via USB >ONLY< when the camcorder is swtiched to memory card, and there is a mem card in there. (however its approx 160x120 RES...shite) -have the camera switched off, usb cable plugged in both ends, pc switched on, then switch on the camera (memory card switched turned on) and you should here the **ding sound** when windows finds a new usb device. look in device mgmr in USB+imaging devices+storage, you will see jvc "xxxxxxxx" -USB capture will only work with the supplied software, all other 3rd software will fail,once again resolution is very poor GOOD NEWS - Firewire 1394a If you dont have a firewire ports, go and get one NOW....run, dont walk ! I bought a belkin F5U502 - this has a AGERE chipset, and works fine on my computer (OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller NOT TI) "and praise the lord" everything works so beautifully, it allows me to capture in DV mode with any software, and the webcam is also in DV mode, ie. approx 760x580 or something like that (very good quality) so i am now a happy little camper, ready to start playing and making movies. I currently use ULEAD studio 8 and dvdfactory 3 hope this helps, and thanks to all previous people for their correspondence, i couldnt have got it working without this forum kind regards Peter Sydney - Australia (summer time is nearly here!!!) |

Unregistered guest | Hi all, I am a proud owner of a JVC D290 and it works pretty good. The videos/snaps are quite good for the price. It is perfectly happy with my Dell D610 running Win XP SP2. I had tough time getting it to recognize the cam. I upgraded the OS to SP2 from SP1 and bingo, all detection issues evaporated!! That too only with USB..no firewire at all..I have captured videos/snaps onto the hard drive without any hitch. Webcam works as well. Low light performance of the cam is the best i have seen amongst personal camcorders If you think i could be of help, write to me |

Tried unplugging all USB devises which include Extigyy sound and hu to two printers, etc. Dumped the software, reloaded. Disabled Firewire and reinabled. Have done everything you have posted before ever seeing this site. Nothing works. THEN: Have an e-machine I am fixing for someone. AMD 3200+ Processor same as mine. Nvidea onboard, 512 Meg DDR Ram XP Pro SP2 running USB or Firewire Port it recognizes the camera even to its model. Still working to figure this one out. Windows and JVCs solutions do not work either. |

BarARanch Unregistered guest | Please go back to basics with me..I have been using my JVC GR DV90 mini DV digital for 2 years and am finally brave enough to try hooking it up to my brand new Dell (I know) 4700 inspiron which I bought with DVD burner. Now it seems from reading above I need a firewire. Where does that hook into my computer? How do I know what kind? Hopeless here in Idaho. |

New member Username: Dj__skRapid City, South Dakota USA Post Number: 2 Registered: Nov-05 | If you bought the basic Dell DIMENTION 4700 (not an inspiration) from what I found it does not have a Firewire port (Two front USB ports with a Head Phone Jack and 4 USB ports in the back). You would have to buy a PCI Firewire card and install it. Did yyour Camera come with a Firewire cable? Does your camera support a mini DV and USB plug in? |

Older style but good working. Was using a C-Box Firewire port to connect it but it would not recognise.

Anonymous | I have a GR-D31u JVC mini dv that is not seen by OS w2k server sp3 via firewire 4/6 pin. I have tried all connection sequences. un/re-installed FW , uninstalled all related recently installed apps/drivers, Called JVC (big help that was) and rtfm as best one can. Question: are all 4 pin cables created equal? the manual shows 2 core filters on the DV cable whereas the 4-6 pin i am using has none. Is there a substantial difference between 1394 and 1394a? if so could this cause OS not to see the JVC? Has anyone had any dealings with a gr-d31u? Its not listed at JVC and is just a spec on google tia -i |

BenM Unregistered guest | I've just bought a laptop (HP zd8000) with a built-in firewire port and i've got a DV camcorder with firewire as well (lucky me...) But although I can capture video using Windows Movie Maker, I can't capture it using Adobe Premiere Pro. Connecting my camcorder to the firewire on my desktop computer, I am able to capture video with Premiere Pro (so that means the camera, cable, etc are fine.) Both the laptop and the desktop are kept up-to-date (XP service pack 2) so I'm assuming that it must have something to do with the laptop's fireware hardware, drivers? Is it possible to use 'Device Control' within Premiere Pro via a laptop's in-built firewire port? Can anyone point me in the right direction for answers? Thank you in advance. Ben |

HeatherB60 Unregistered guest | I guess I must have gotten a cheap camera because I can't get the video off of it. We have the GR-D33U model. There is no memory card for this model. I tried connecting it via the IEEE 1394 port. I can play the video using the controls on the computer through Windows Movie Maker but no video is transferred. We have video of our baby walking for the first time on this tape and Birthdays, I really do not want to lose it all! Any help? (Please use simple and detailed directions, I know nothing!) |

Wonderboy Unregistered guest | Hello everyone, I own a JVC GR-D270u mini DV camera. I am having problems captureing my video from my DV tape to my eMachine using XP home. I have read from the posts above that I should get a firewire card and a firewire cable to fix that problem. I have also recently purchaced Ulead VideoStudio 9. Do I need to buy the firewire card and cable or can I still use USB to capture video... or am I missing a driver? If anyone has any answers on this related topic, It would be greately appreciated. Thanks For Listening! |
|
Wonderboy Unregistered guest | Okay, I've answered my own question. Firewire is the way to go with the JVC GR-D270u camera. I'm really not sure about USB, but I do know that firewire works absolutely beautifully. With firewire you really can't go wrong. (unless you get a flaky card of course.) |
|
FedUp Unregistered guest | HI, I also just bought the JVC GR-D290 and spent all day trying to figure out how to transfer video. As a poster further up says...just get a firewire card from CPC ( if in UK ) they are now reduced to under a Tenner and come with a lead and software, it solves the problem straight away ( I'm using Win98SE) |

rustylegg Unregistered guest | It's Rustylegg again, I forgot to mention that its a JVC GR D270. I'm new to all this, is this a common fault with the memory card. I have connected the camcorder to the USB cable and I cant format the card, it just freezes me out. I have read all regarding the "Fire wire and card" (which I now know I need). Thanks for the help I couldn't get anything to work at all with the USB cable. |

Nik Stamenov Unregistered guest | Hi everyone, Recently I bought a JVC GR-D290 camcorder and, as many on this forum, I experienced difficulties in transferring my videos to the PC using the usb cable provided. What solved my problem was installing ALL of the updates available for my operating system, Windows XP Service Pack 2, from the Microsoft website. After that, when I connected my camcorder to the computer using the usb cable, the operating system found automatically the required driver (driver is not required to read the memory card in the camcorder, but only to read the tape). I have to point out that during this process I was connected to internet -- I am not sure how significant this is, but it is possible that the driver was retrieved from the Microsoft's site, if it hadn't already come with the updates I installed earlier. After establishing a connection between my computer and the camcorder, I was able to use the Windows Movie Maker as well as the software supplied with the camcorder, PowerDirector3, to download the videos. I also used the mains supply during all of the time my camcorder was connected to the computer as per JVC's recommendations. Hope this helps. |

Simon28 Unregistered guest | Nik Stamenov, you manage to get your videos across from cam jvc gr270 to pc, how was the quality of the videos? Did they lose any clarity and colors? |

Dale. F Unregistered guest | Hey, I recently brought a JVC GR-DVL109 camcorder, and a firewire card (1394 PCI card) and installed it in my pc. I can connect the camcorder with the cable provided, and when I connect the camcorder, in play mode for example, WindowsXP pro SP2, with firewire cable, it will make the two tone sound, to show the device is connected, then a few seconds later the two tone sound to show it's disconected even though it is still connected. The firewire card works fine and has 4 usb2.0 sockets work fine and connect devices ok, only the Firewre connection to my camcorder is the problem. I tried that patch for SP2 and restarted the PC but that didn;t solve the problem. It just won't stay connected to the pc, and doesn't appear on the device manager or "My computer". Is there anything I can do which might get it to recognise the camera on my pc? |

Nik Stamenov Unregistered guest | Simon28, My camera is JVC GR-D290, not 270, so I don't know what the quality of a video would be after transferring it from GR-D270 to a pc. In my case with my GR-D290 the video looks fine. The only comparison I can make is after watching the video on a TV set and then watching it on the pc -- to my eye the two pictures look the same. |

The port on the camera is 4-pin firewire and I also have a 4-pin firewire port on my Compaq laptop. I know I have to purchase a 4 pin to 4 pin cable but what do I ask for? All the cables I've seen look like USB on one end and a smaller thing on the other end. Can somebody help? |

New member Username: Kenny0804Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | Hi, I have a JVC Mini DV GR-270 connected via firewire to a WinXP (Home Edition) decent spec Dell PC. I am able to record and capture video with no problem ..... except for 1 tape that was recorded recently. I am able to - Play the tape in the camera - view the video and hear sound. I am not able to - Capture video to PC. Using various video capture software I get the same results, no video displayed when trying to capture - sound is audible through the camera (and picture displays on the camera) but image wont preview or capture. Any ideas? Other info - * Not sure if I did a 'Blank Search' (to seek next recordable spot on tape) before recording. Does this matter? * When replaying tape on Camera it says 12-bit (usually says 16-bit) in top left of display. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks |

New member Username: PaulceePost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | Hi All, I have an answer for people for people who need to enable their unrecognised USB device to capture Video/Camera..... see below.... Mostly, Yahoo and other video/cam software can seriously crash you computer dues to bad registry settings implemented by MCE 2005 (Windows Media Centre 2005) It can also come about due to a conflict in software. Changes made to the following registry settings pointing to the hardware device and necessary codec should fix this... Google this and see this post >>>> "FIX: Yahoo webcam will not recognise with MCE 2005" or follow this link if it's still valid... Good luck... Paulcee |

New member Username: MathewNew Delhi Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | I have also bought a JVC GR D-270 camcorder which also included a firewire card and port. With the given software, I could not transfer the movie from the camcorder to the PC. I tried Ulead also, but could not succeed. Then, I read from the Internet that Pixela can be used for transfer. So I loaded pixela and I could capture the movie to the PC. However, besides taking a lot of time, the file was in MPG format. While making the Video CD (using Niro CD writer) a message came up indicating that the file needs to be encoded for making video CD. I pressed OK and after a very long time, the VCD was created. However, the final output, when played from the CD player, was not so good. The clarity had gone down. Can any one help? Is it because of Pixela or Niro? Thanks. Mathew |

New member Username: RoxxiePost Number: 2 Registered: Apr-06 | I posted awhile back regarding a JVC model GR31U mini dv camera and the fact that I couldn't capture the video. Here's how I solved the problem. I bought a 4-pin to 4-pin firewire cable off some internet site for only $3.50 plus shipping for a total of around $4.95. Then, I loaded Pinnacle software onto my laptop, plugged the camera into the laptop and VOILA! I was able to capture the video from the camera and then turn it into a CD that I can play on my home player and really didn't lose any clarity at all. Of course, this was a very slow process so I'm thinking my laptop, which is running XP Home, is not powerful enough. This process took a few hours. I don't have a video capture card in my main computer so the next time I do this, I guess I will get a card for my other computer and see if its faster. Just wanted to let you all know that I never loaded any drivers or anything on my laptop before doing this....just the software. Try Pinnacle and see if it helps. |

New member Username: MarcieCorning, NY United States Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | Hi I bought a JVCGRD250-U digital video camera for my daughter who moved to Guam. When she got it and used it she was happy until she went to put it on her computer and make a DVD. Then she saw the sentence that said for PC only. She has a MAC. She can connect the two vie firewire cables. Her brothers say then she should be able to do something if she had the right software. Does this make sense and can she do It. I am really surprised so many people have had trouble using the camera with a PC. We are very disappointed that this was not written on the package as we would not have bought it. Her brother is the manager at the Wallmart Photo and he sold it to us and did not know it. He also has a Mac. Help, Im trying to help her. There is no support in Guam! She does have the internet and Ill hook her up if you have a suggestion. Thanks I hope! |

New member Username: MathewNew Delhi Post Number: 2 Registered: Apr-06 | To transfer video from the camcorder to the computer, you need to have (1)Firewire cable, that is, iLink IEEE 1394 - (Transferring with USB cable will lose so much clarity); (2)Proper software (Pinnacle is the best); (3) PC with at least 128MB of RAM and 500 MHz speed and at least 10 GB of hard-disk space for transferring movie from one DV tape. In addition, you will need a CD/DVD writer to burn the movie. After that you can delete the same from your hard disk and again download from the tape. If you need any clarification, please do write to me at Mathewv@searo.who.int |

New member Username: Shawnlett2004Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | I have a JVC GR-D270U and I am running Windows XP SP2. I have a firewire card installed. I wish to exploit a couple of things I heard I can do with a DV camera. One is I want to use my DV-camcorder as a analog-to-digital converter to copy my collection of VHS over to DVD. I'm not sure how this can be done with this particular model. It has no analog hookups. I want to go from VCR to DV-camcorder to computer. Secondly, I would like to use this same camcorder as a webcam periodically. Is purchasing an SD card the only solution to getting this running with a USB cord? I have it hooked up successfully with a firewire already. It worked the first time I tried to transfer video to the computer. I just don't see a way to use this as a webcam with the firewire. I noticed many people seem to have had a problem with this camcorder but it works great for me. |

New member Username: Julie_sPost Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | I have read through most of these questions and haven't seen this one posted yet, so here goes.... I have a JVC GR-D290. I bought a firewire to transfer my videos to my computer. Everything seemed to be going smoothly. Using the software that came with the camera, I think it is called Power Producer 2, I made my attempt. It seemed to be working (although I was just seeing a black screen), but then a box popped up that said there was a problem. It said something like "Make sure your camera is in VCR mode." What does that mean? Any ideas? |

New member Username: MathewNew Delhi Post Number: 3 Registered: Apr-06 | I was capturing video from my JVC GR 270 to the PC and creating VCDs. The rendering process used to take nearly two hours for a single tape (60 minutes) and I thought it is a very long time. Yesterday, I thought of creating a DVD to see the quality. It started rendering at 7:00 p.m. yesterday and, believe it or not, it finished around 12:00 noon today! (almost 17 hours). Could someone tell me what is wrong. Luckily, there was no power failure. Otherwise, it would not have been completed. I will never ever try to make a DVD in my life unless this rendering time can be improved. I will be grateful for some guidance. Thanks. |

New member Username: Barton71Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | Could it be down to the software you are using to capture and burn your DVD, or even your PC spec? I got a JVC GR-D270 last week and ive made a couple of DVD's using Nero 6. The video capture take the length of time of the video and the burning takes a few mins. You can pick Nero 6 OME version up for next to nothing if you shop about. I actualy got my version for 1 penny + P&P, when i bought some other software. |

New member Username: Barton71Post Number: 2 Registered: Jun-06 | Shawn Smith. The only way i could get my JVC GR-D270 to work as a webcam using the firewire, was to remove the tape from the video camera, then switch it to manual or automatic. I managed to get it working with MSN Messenger, but Yahoo messenger wont see it. |

New member Username: Barton71Post Number: 3 Registered: Jun-06 | Diana Chairez. Mke sure the switch next to the LCD display is in the "Video" position. Switch the camera to Manual or Automatic, then press the button located to the right of the battery, to start/pause recording. |

New member Username: MathewNew Delhi Post Number: 4 Registered: Apr-06 | Mr Mcleod, I was using Pinnacle studio 8. I have the Niro installed for writing to the DVD which is activated by Studio 8 itself for burning the DVD. Capture time and burning time are OK. The time of 17 hours was taken only for the rendering which was done by Studio 8. Niro can only burn the DVD, it does not capture. When I did the same thing for writing to the VCD, the rendering time was less than 2 hours. But, of course, the quality of the DVD version was nearly 100%. However, the time is a big problem, especially due to the possibility of powercuts. Is there any way, the rendering can be done little by little? |

New member Username: Barton71Post Number: 4 Registered: Jun-06 | Hi Mathew. Nero 6 does capture video from your DV video camera, and burns the DVD. Make sure your camera is in play back mode, then start Nero StartSmart, and select DVD from the drop down menu at the top, then hover your cursor over Favorites, "Make Your Own DVD", should be there be default. Once you have clicked on "Make Your Own DVD", select "Capture Video" from the menu on the right of the screen. Once you have clicked on "Capture Video", select DVD from the drop down menu, and configure it to your own settings. From this stage, simply press the record button and your movie will be transfered to your PC. Once this is done, just follow the instructions on screen to burn your DVD. I just made an 18 min long DVD of a family event, and the whole process, from start to finish took about 25 mins. I hope this helps you. |

New member Username: MathewNew Delhi Post Number: 6 Registered: Apr-06 | Mr Mcleod, I tried with Nero StartSmart as suggested by you. Unfortunately, there is no option called "Make Your Own DVD". There is option only to burn DVD from existing files. No provision to capture from a camcorder. However, when I point the cursor to the "Make movies" option, a message comes stating "you can capture and make movies". But the option under that is only to create DVD from files on the hard-disk. I do not know why I am not getting the "capture" option. Thanks. Mathew |

A secret, i bought a JVC GRD200EK from currys, just the unit, no batt, disc, manual, just the cam. Recked my Brains tryin to find the drivers, u cant get them. First have a look on jvc website and c if its in any of their downloads, mine wasn't. Failing that go to www.partmaster.co.uk. they have a wide variety of parts for electronics. discs, remotes, anything at all. I'm sure u will find it there. £9.99 for my disc. also i had problems connecting my cam up for webcam. it just wouldnt work, kept saying im using it already with another program, i tried searching for that program it connected itself to and still had no luck. Browsing the internet one day and come across a program called 'SPLITCAM'. you can use your camcorder with different programs at once without having to cut off one program and use it with another. Its works a treat now. im really happy and my hair is still in!!!!! |

New member Username: Barton71Post Number: 9 Registered: Jun-06 | I dont think you can use it to capture video or as a web cam. The reason its not got a fire wire port, is because you aren't transferring video streams from the camera to your PC, but rather you are transferring video files. Where as on a camera that uses a tape, you are streaming the video on to your HDD. |

New member Username: PishtaPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-05 | I have a JVC GR-DX300U(S) and XP SP2, firewire and cable. I plug it in and I get unknown device, I tried to go to the Euro JVC site and downloaded the 3 drivers it recommended for XP. @ turned out to be NOT for XP and the third didnt do anything for my firewire (or more proper, Ilink--firewire uses 6 pins, 2 have power and use larger D shaped plugs, Ilink uses 4, no power and a smaller other end) Anyway, the moviemaker starts, asks questions on resolution, whether I want to record the entire disk or parts. I choose entire disk and the miniDV rewinds itself, so there is 2 way communication. Then as soon as it starts to upload the video, my screen goes to very low resolution repeating pattern of diagonal lines, and the PC crashes. I have to manually reboot and when I do, It wont boot up half the time with the 1394 cable plugged in. My 1394 card has a jumper that blocks power (set) and I think the speed is autonegotiating 100/200/400 through XP2 but cant confirm. I have the latest drivers for the card VIA VT6306 and cant locate any "drivers" for this camera, if any are even needed under XP. Can anyone Email me the disk that came with a GR-DX75/95/300? I have Ulead 8.0 on the driver disk for the firewire but no serial number was given to me. HELP! pishta68 at hotmail dot com |
