JVC Everio 25x/20GB Hard Disk Drive Camcorder - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

If you are unable to reformat the hard drive using the camera, and the USB drive is not showing up on your PC, there may be an issue with the hard drive itself. You could try using a different USB cable or a different computer to see if the USB drive shows up. If the issue persists, you may need to replace the hard drive. Before replacing the hard drive, you could try resetting the camera to its factory settings to see if this resolves the issue. You can usually find instructions for how to do this in the user manual for your camera. If none of these steps work, you may need to contact the manufacturer or a professional repair service for assistance.

If the images is still to large then this means the everio can't shoot any lower so you would have to edit it. A quicker solution I think for You tube posting is get a low end camcorder the the flip or one that shoots the video on a media card. These are lower resolution cameras and run around a hundred.

Yes. You can use any brand of memory card, as long as it's the correct type. Personally, I'd stick with the major brands, but I use several different brands with my several cameras and none of them have ever caused any problems.

If they're saved to the HDD then you should be able to access them via your computer using the Power Cinema software for videos. Use google picassa 3 (free download) to extract your pics.

If items have been saved to the micro SD card...put this card into an adapter and put it directly into your pc.

Otherwise....send it to a dealer!

Are you saving to the micro SD card or to the HDD? You need to go into your menu options to ensure that you are saving to the HDD automatically. Sometimes I used to save to the SD for pics and the HDD for video (set up in the menu). Maybe you are deleting the HDD files but automatically recording to the full SD card?! Check

What's the problem?

Install google picassa3 (which is free software from google)....use this for all your pics...it's really easy to use and allows you to email pics instantly as it prepares the files for email (quickly).

Videos.....try and download JVC everio Power Cinema software which came originally with the camera - or source it online. I have a problem with mine at the moment, as it will write the video files to DVD but not the sound.

hi, i do'nt know how old it is, but, the head may need cleaning. these C D cleaners have 2 little brushes and you get cleaning fluid plus cleaning pad. gerry

Sounds like a bad lcd panel. Does the camera show a picture when connected to the tv? If it has a picture on the tv and not on the camera itself its definitely gonna be in the lcd panel or lcd panel cable area, and yes it can be fixed and worth it. I hope this helps
