How do i get the videos off of my Everio?

Question

ok, so i have the latest version of the Everio, but it won't load my videos onto my computer. It loads the pictures, but not the videos. Is there anywhere i can take it to get the videos off? My mom suggested Walgreens. :_(

Answer 1

If this is a camcorder.....

If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder….

Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder.

If you have a mini dvd camcorder….

You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer 's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (i downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.

Answer 2

For JVC Everio hard disk drive (hdd) based standard definition vcams, video clips are split into .MOD & .MOI files. When split, clips can't be imported into a (NLE) non-linear editing application without first using another software–> to create a unified MPEG-2 file. The import/conversion process is simple, but time consuming.

Check clarification on JVC .mod, together with Carol's (THANKS!) helpful instructions on MOD conversion using Prism:
