I have a Hitachi DZ-MV350A camcorder and have recently purchased a new mac bookpro. My mac does not seem to recognize the camcorder - how do I get the movies from the camcorder to the pc?

Your best bet is to use the drivers from the CD.
To do this on windows 7, you'll need to use compatibility mode.
Browse to the contents of the cd in windows explorer. Right click on the driver installer file, and select "properties".
Select the "compatibility" tab from the properties window, and select "windows xp sp3" from the drop down menu. Also tick the "run as administrator" on the bottom.

I did this with my own hitachi DZ_MV350A and it worked just fine.

If that fails, just google "Hitachi DZ-MV350A maual" as I did.

My Macbook does not see my Hitachi DZ-MV200A on pc side or mac

I spoke with a local rep and it looks like the power source has malfunctioned.

I am getting the unit repaired as I type .


Thx.

I Have the same problem I searched the net and found this link
hope it works for you look toward the bottom of the page you need the round caddy

I figured it out out of frustration. I used a small flat head screwdriver & gently pryed it open just above the control for turning it on/off. Inside I found that the mini-DVD was shoved in there outside of the mini-DVD sleeve thus causing a perpetual jam. Works OK now as long as my kids don't mess with it!
