If this is a MiniDV camcorder (record to miniature digital tape) then you will need a firewire card.

Use these links as references:
For a desktop
For a laptop w/ PCMCIA
For a laptop w/ ExpressCard

You will also need a firewire cable to connect your camera to the card. If you dont have one search for a firewire 4pin to 6pin cable... such as....

this one


You can use software such as windows movie maker on XP or Vista to import your video...

Good luck!

It should be built into Windows XP and Vista but you will need a video capture program such as Pinnacle Studio.

double check that its still in auto focus, i went a whole day trying to figure out why my camera wouldnt focus, and i had auto focus off

NEEEEED ADRIVER

it should have a driver to be able to detect on your computer. hope that helps!

Still shots are stored on the card while movies are stored on the tape. You can transfer still images by placing the card in a media reader or by using a USB cable.

To transfer video you need a DV cable (not supplied with the camcorder). If you don't have a DV cable you can pick one up at BestBuy or most electronics stores.

In addition to the DV cable you also need software to transfer video. I understand Windows Movie Maker will work, but I use a product called Scenalzyer. You can download a free version of Scenalzyer at www.scenalyzer.com. The demo copy is fully functional but will leave a "watermark" on your video. You have to pay for it in order to transfer without the watermark. I think this camcorder may have even come with some software, but I'm not sure.

Many computers will automatically recognize these cameras as soon as they're plugged in, but some will require you to load driver software.

Take a look at this website if you don't have your manual and software guide:

Lastly, I want you to know that I'm not paid to provide these suggestions. It's a strange hobby I know, but I just like to help when I can. If you found this information helpful I hope you will rate it positively. Over half the solutions I've posted have not been rated.

No Prob...I had the same problem with my GR-D72U. There is a defect in the CCD image sensor. JVC will fix it for FREE! All it will cost you is shipping it to them. Go to http://www.jvcservice.com/service/CustNoticeCamcorder.asp?PgReq=DspDtaDtl&MdlNbr=GR-D72US&Pgm=CCD , download the rapair request... Send it off to your nearest service center and they ship it back all fixed up in less than a week. I must tell you though, you ONLY have until Dec. 31 2008 to do this. Not only did they fix mine, they cleaned the heads but also buffed out a scratch. After you get yours fixed, post as many helps as you can to others.

You have to go to settings and adjust from there...find LCD settings and that should do it.

you cannot record onto the SD card only ontothe sd card for the iamges - snapshots

That card can only be used for pictures - you need to buy tapes :)

With the unit that new, bring it back and request an exchange. There is a problem with either the charger circuitry or the battery itself. Any other action on your part could void the warranty.

When you plug in your camera Do you have the Program that you installed opened. Is the camera on when you plug it in to pc? Or does the cam come on when u plug it in to computer by itself? Also What Operating system do you have? Get Back as soon as you can. Just let me know those couple of questions and I 'll get back to you. Or I will be on line too. Thanks Bear001

Have you looked in the manual ?

Not sure , do you mean safe mode ?

Take camera and its battery to a camera outlet, ask them to check the built-in rechargeable battery. Most outlets will help you with this, as its likely that if the battery has failed, you'll buy a replacement from the same dealer.

not sure on this one but it might be the heads in your vid cam may need cleaning. or the tapes are not running straight on the heads or the rollers in side. if the vid cam has been in a cold place it can cause this fault as the heads may have a bit of damp. try putting a tape in and run it fast forword in play mode and see if starts to clear the playhead.if it does keep doing it until you see a clear picture. this could also be a head misalignment fault if it is you will have to take it to some one to have a look at. if any of the above does not work then you will have to take to some one to look at it. .

Sounds as if the battery needs replacing - have you tried with a spare battery ?
