You need ["A" type (left) to Mini-"B" type (Right) connector. Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable] to transfer picture/ movie files in computer.
This USB Cable is available with JVC Accessories Store for $11 however, you can buy it in local store as well.
Check camcorder for USB Port that will accept USB Cable jack.

Connecting Everio to PC behaves like as you are connecting an external HDD to your PC. You can just transfer files from you Everio(SD Video folder for videos,DCIM for photos) files with extension .TOD or .MOD sometimes can't be open depending on you pc.Just rename those to .mpg(note; make a back up since this process is ereversible). If you did installed the application software provided, wait for a while after connecting, and it will pop up, ready to use. Note: some everio models will promt you what to do after connecting, just click the desired option. Good Luck

Are you using a capture card for recording? If so, use a differant software. Or, try using a FireWire cable.

If you don't have a manual, go to the following internet location:

Hi, I think your battery is 100% OK, if the power supply is perfect there may be problem with the switch, clean it with contact cleaner spray often press the switch several times. if the switch contacts are not connecting, this will help it to clear it. open the cam, check the power supply on the main board, there is a small fuse on the circuit board test it with. eventually we have to suspect the mother board. if so should change it.

Hi, first of all my advice is: if you keep any electronics devices without usage for a long period, you must detach the battery/power supply. in this case I think the hard disk may be faulty, if you can open the camera and takeout the HDD connect with an HDD dock connect the dock to your system, in normal condition your computer will detect the hard disk, if so you can save the contents to your computer or you can format it, if it is not detecting your computer it means the HDD is physically damage. please change it.

Hi, please write the question in English.

available with JVC website.

sir, you may please re-set your cam to factory default, it will help to override the problem.

Depends how old or what model your DVD player is ? When I burn DVD's with my video editing software on my computer,some disks will not play on certain older DVD players, has something to do with video codes that the DVD player has to read? My experience is that my older DVD players will not play burnt DVD's from my computer, but will play in newer DVD players ?

EVERIOS have an internal menu option to FORMAT HDD (If applicable)

I solved my problem by changing the setting from PAL to NTSC in the Everio media browser (the unit was purchased in the US but the software was set to PAL).
