JVC Everio GZ-MG21 Camcorder - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

vlc is a quick solution.
you can download the software for free and it plays most video files. just google VLC.
you may have to change the file from a .mod file to a .mpeg. but just re-name it yourself and it should work.

I prefer Wondershare video converter, it could not only convert MOD files to Windows movie maker but also the best HD video converter and AVCHD video converter which can convert HD video and AVCHD video to avi, convert m2ts to avi, convert mts to avi, convert ts to mp4 etc.. with excellent quality.

Try not recording as much on the disc - it may need a certain amount of free space to record finalising information.

I suggest you download revo.uninstaller. Its a free program which can check what gets left behind after the suppliers uninstall software has done its job. All too often registry items get left behind creating hooks that allow programs to reinstall etc. Google Revo free uninstaller Download the free version to your computer Select the program you wish to uninstall Wait while the initial analysis and restore point is made Select advanced Select Yes to continue Select No for personal settings if asked Click finish when suppliers uninstall is complete Do not restart computer if asked or you will miss the Revo scan Click scan to see what registry items are left Select all and delete See if any files remain if so select all and delete

Hello Dear, Please download/change your media player like vlc or media player classic for better result

You can save the film clips to a folder on your PC, then create the DVD from all of the ones you have chosen.

Try with a -R disc

You do not need drivers to get the footage from tape to a Mac. You do require a firewire cable and use iMovie or Final Cut to capture.

Unfortunately, you'll need to use a computer that has WinXP or Vista in order to transfer what you have on the hard drive. So you have two choices: Go to a pawn shop or goodwill, etc. and buy an inexpensive XP computer - preferably a laptop. You shouldn't have to pay more than $100 for one of these. The other option is to send your camera to a repair shop or dub house that will copy the data to disc and return both to you. Expect to pay about the same $$ for this service.

I have used my Enviro MG21 with windows 7 and now Win 8 with no problems so I don't think it is comparability issue. Try opening up "My Computer" and see if Enverio appears as a device, if not try adding it via "Control Panel - then add device abd manually install via the on screen instructions"

Glad to be of help.

Make sure you're using an SD card, not a higher-capacity SDHC card. The GZ-MG21U works with SD cards, not with SDHC cards.

doesn't seem to be a function to disable sleep mode.

Remove the battery and check the voltage, if low the battery is faulty and needs to be replaced. if not the fault can be within, you need to check from a blown fuse to a failure in the motherboard.Attempt only if equipped.

You might want to consider NOT using a driver. The best way to download videos and pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy videos and pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any video/photo cataloging program, such as Windows Movie Maker and Windows Photo Gallery.
