D3100. USB cable will only transfer about half the quantiy of files to the PC and ignores any video files. Whereas when I transfer files through the SD card slot (not using the cable) all is well. Why?

My first impression is the transfer rate of the card through the camera firmware is not fast enough. You said SD card an SD card is a much slower rate then an SDHC which is much better for video. I use SD memory cards for still photography SDHC for any video. You can use SDHC for stills as well but it just my way of keeping things separated. Another thing is you should (must) format the memory cards each time you download, install them in another camera or a new SD SDHC card is installed . As a rule of thumb format the card in the camera it's going to be used in.

I can't transfer photos from my camera to the computer.

Plug your usb cable to your computer. Go to the start button and click my computer. Then find the file of you camera (removable (letter)maybe the name of camera) and click on it. There may be a flolder on the file. Open the folder until you find the pictures. Copy them and save them to another folder. Then unplug your camera. Plug in your new camera and follow the same steps, but copy the folder and put it in the new cameras file. I had to do the same thing when my camera got smashed by a car seat and I had to get a new one. Hope it works out for you!

Videos transfer to PC as .jpg files

The best way to transfer is using a memory card through a generic USB card reader. Try not using the USB cord for a while.

Connectivity - usb cable

im not a genius or anything but i have nokia pc suite and i cant drag files to my phone either. i usually just plug the memory card into the computer and it comes up as a memory card with the images and video clips folders etc. im pretty sure its faster than the usb cable. you could also buy a usb infrared thing but they are very slow to transfer files. so if you really want to use your usb cable then this question wouldnt've helpd. thanks.

Can't transfer video from cam to pc

You can't capture the video with a USB cable. The USB cable and software that came with the camcorder are only used to transfer still images.

To transfer video you'll need a DV cable (also known as a Firewire cable) and some additional software. I use Scenalyzer Live. It's not free, but you can download a demo copy to see if you like it before you buy it. Here's a link to the Scenalyzer website:

http://scenalyzer.com/

If you have the JVC manual you should read page 41. If you don't have the manual you can download it here:

http://www.devicemanuals.com/guide/Digital%20Camcorder/JVC/JVC-Compact-VHS-w-LCD-Screen-Camcorder-GR-D370AS-User's-TWpJME56VT.html

The download link is about half way down the left side. It's a little difficult to find, but it's there.

Lastly, all this assumes that your computer has a Firewirre port. Most new computers will have one, but if you do not you'll need to buy and install a Firewire PCI card. Let us know if you need more help.

Hi, You can only transfer still images (photos) with a USB cable. For video, you need a firewire card and cable. That's the way it works.
