Thank you for using FixYa for your problem


Your camera is faulty. It should be taken to an authorized repair centre for a repair estimate. Very few digital cameras have any user-serviceable parts.

Well,in the playback mode just use the zoom button on the top and the volume gets increase.Hope it will be useful.regards

If you have laptop you can try firewire connection. And even Windows Movie Maker can record it from your camera.

Yes it is the dc socket that you will use to charge your battery . It charges right on the camcorder itself with your ac adaptor . make sure the camcorder is in off postion for it to charge.

That disc maybe the software. Like when I got my camera, mine came with a yellow-and-white kodak disc, which I downloaded onto my computer for my C613 Kodak Easyshare. Try looking at your Manual.

If you have windows, you can use FFMPEG to convert the files into any format you want and then windows either windows movie maker or other software. On my mac, iMovie will automatically recognize the camera and covert the files!

Have a look at JVC U.S.A. SERVICE & ENGINEERING DIVISION.

they have all the parts there.

You need to download the software from the JVC website.
I will give you the link.

i suggest you obtain the program cyberlink powerproducer onto your pc which is such a user friendly program to help you burn video from camcorder straight onto a dvd. you should be able to download from the internet.

Does the Camcorder show as a new drive in your 'My Computer' list of drives? Ie C drive D drive and possibly a weirdly named one is the one you're after. You should be able to find the videos in the folders contained on that new drive. Trouble finding it? Open mycomputer with it unplugged, then plug in camera like you're going to download stills, and watch for a new drive to appear. You will have to look through out the folders until you find the videos :o) Hope this helps you,

It is probably too big of an attachment to send. The other alternative might be to look at uploading your videos onto You Tube or another service and e-mailing the link to the video to them. If you are concerned about privacy on you tube, you can enable a setting on the sheet so that you pick and choose who can look at the videos as well.

Hi, connect the cam and PC using 4 pin firewire cable. Switch on the cam. Open Windows Movie Maker and import the video from device.
You can then use Move Maker to any disc burning software like Nero to create the movie disks.

You mean you have camera files in PC and can't playback through media player? if, yes...
PC needs video-audio codec to play these files.

Download Colde2K Media Codec Pack and have video and audio via media player.

No there gone! it is possible to recover them but the price would be high and you will need an expert!

The short answer is that unless JVC have released a firmware upgrade to this model, currently its not support for use on vista.

You can try here though, for some upgrade info,

So this has a built in harddisk or fixed memory that you use to record video to it? You should be able to use the cable supplied to connect it to you computer, windows 2000 upwards xp or vista too, it should detect it as a "mass storage device" or similar. Some manufacturers need 'drivers' to make the storage compatible with windows. If by chance it is outright compatable with windows, you should be able to see this as an additiona ldrive in 'My Computer' icon on your desktop, open it up to view as you would open a CD or a disk by double clicking on the new drive. Then you should find a few folders. By hunting through these you should be able to find ones that have files in them, with luck you can drag the icons of the ones you want from the folder to the desktop.

Try this link if you have no success

Your best bet it to look on the manufacturers website to find maybe software, drivers etc for your camcorder.
If you can then try googling your camcorder to find software etc else where.
Hope this helps.

Usually if it's a formating issue is because it is a wrong disc. Make sure what format the burner can use meaning if it's a - or +. Also, the sony brand disc don't work with anything but sony stuff so make sure it's not a sony disc.

ok....first off i feel your pain i got this camcorder for christmas last year and to my disapointment it took me days to figure this out.
there are several ways to do this but personaly i use this method and ill warn you now it includes a tiny bit of jargon.

1.plug in the camcorder

2.select "Play back on computer" on the camcorder menu

3.when the computer finds the camcorder it will find two hard drives, one ending in SD and one ending in HDD.

4.click the one ending in HDD (The one ending in SD will open up a folder containing your photos taken on the camcorder)

5.open the file named SD_VIDEO

6.now heres where it gets tricky, open the a file that should be named PRG007 the number on the end defines the more recent project you have filmed (Say if you filmed yesterday your data would be in PRG007 but if you filmed today it would most probably be in a new folder named PRG008.

7.now you going to see all you files .TOD is the camcorders own video file and .MOI is the thumb nail the camcorder uses during play back, select all of the files you want with the .TOD extension and COPY not cut COPY them to your desired location.

8.now you have you files that windows wont play because it doesnt recognise them, you now have to go through every file Right click>Rename>Highlight ".TOD" and type/replace it with ".avi">Click "Yes" if a little box pops up.

9. Your files should now be playable if they dont play straight away its because they have a large file size so if and when media player just shows a black screen click the stop button on the player, wait for it to do its stuff and then click play.

This can be a long painfiull thing to do but ive done it a few times now and after the first few it becomes natrual, easier and faster than the folowing method. wich contains almost no jargon but takes alot of time

1. Follow steps 1&2 from the last tutorial.
2. Install the disk that came with the Camcorder.
3. Install both programs, one is for viewing your footage quickly and one is for editng.
4. Open the program named "Powerdirector express" create a new project File>New
5. Click the tab near the top named "LOAD MEDIA" a little pic of an open file
6. Nvigate to your files using steps 4 to 6 from that last tutorial.
7. Higlight all of the files u want and import them.
8. After a long time it should have loaded them into the project library.
9. Drag them into the timeline editing any that are to long or add any cheap effects if you choose. i wouldnt.
10. Highlight the whole time line and click the tab at the top named "PRODUCE".
11. You probably want to "Create a file" if you dont your on your own.
12. Heres how to "Create a file", change your output directory on the left hand side. and click next.
13. Chose the avi method (Better compatability and speed).
14. Now the rest is up to you to play around with the settings to suit what you want to do next but make sure you click and search around all of the buttons available and ensure any quality settings are set to the highest and any aspect ratio settings are set to 16:9.

Enjoy the camcorder, after you get used to it you will love it.
