I did get the camera and I am loving the quality of the recordings. I did the same thing that you mentioned above... I could only laugh when I read your post. Take care and good luck... By the way - you can download a free trial from Adobe's website just in case you want to test the software first.

I do not have this camera yet, but I am considering purchasing it this week. I beleive Premier Elements 7.0 can handle the video format and maybe an option for you. I do own the combo pack version of this software for digita photography - Photoshop Elemens 7.0 and the video editing software (Premiere Elements 7.0). Enjoy this camera... hopefully this software helps you out... How are you liking the camera by the way?

For those of you with a Mac, the newest version of Apple's iLife '08 includes iMovie which will work great with this camera in HD and is made to be very simple to work with even though that means losing some of the more professional techniques. Apple also has Final Cut Express though if you want more features but for the majority of basic consumers, you'll love iMovie. If you have a Mac, you may already have it. All of iLife comes free with a Mac, although you can purchase it separately if you needed to.http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/

I have found Cyberllink Power Director version 7 to be easy to use and to produce very beautiful high definition videos in several file types.

Thank you for the tip.I like the camera very much, great zoom, it also has facial recognition.If you get it, one little note, make sure the rec, is on when your recording.I believe I hit it too quick when I put the camera on, and it did not register.Yes I did not record a whole chunk that I thought I did.Wish you the best with your camera stuff.

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj

I purchased NERO over the net. I used the download method. What instructions I have are in English but, NERO comes from Germany and, I think the translation is lacking somewhat? I personally, am very disappointed with NERO 12. I wanted to edit single video frames and, I still haven't figured out how to do that? NERO keeps wanting to change my videos into some kind of NERO video. Videos take a lot of memory and, this process doubles the memory needed. And, the bottom line is that I still can't edit video like I want to. I used to have NERO 6 on my old HP but, that computer is around twenty years old and, doesn't even have a single gig of RAM so, NERO quit working a few years ago. NERO 6 used to allow me to edit a single frame of video and, print it out as a jpeg. That is why I bought NERO 12 but, I can't seem to get NERO 12 to do what NERO 6 used to do. I seen a lot of translations for NERO 12 but, the bottom line is "buyer be ware". I would suggest trying the free trial program before you finally decide to buy.

Although I have not tried video, I was truly embarrassed at a seminar when every shot made a BING noise turning heads all around. I have not figured out how to stop this. Help? Otherwise, I have much to learn but am sorry they don't seem to make these pocket sized cameras anymore with a viewfinder. Mostly I am shooting outdoors and find it impossible in the sunshine.

Dear Valery: With this Sony Movie Studio Platinum Suite 12 software, you have many choices of audio editing, for example you can extract the audio from a video, you can change the volume of a song in MP3, you can make conversions of audio from one format to another, mix, trim, add, add silence between songs, add fade at the beginning and at the end of a song, you can add special effects, among other things but I'm commenting only a few options that I've used, but still have not used most of the options that the software has naturally required patience and time to take advantage of the program, as it also has an excellent tutorial that will indicating you step by step how to do, it is really very well recommend it since I've had other editors and this is the best and all off the foregoing their specialty is the edition of video clips.

I just read that the .MOD extension of the JVC can be changed to .MPG for recognition by Windows Media Player and should work with other software since it is a standard format. (You can do this by copying the file onto your PC, right clicking and renaming. With this extension you should be able to burn to a DVD. I am interested in purchasing this camcorder but will NOT do so if I have to purchase extra software. If someone tries this, please let me know if you are successful. JVC appears to receive much better reviews than Sony other than the burning issues. The article I read can be found at http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2006-12-06-camcorder-hard-drives_x.htm.

Hi,I plug the video and sound feed from the receiver that comes with the camera to a Sony model #VRD-MC5 DVD recorder which burns the feed right to a DVD disc. From there I can go to my computer to edit the video.Sony stopped making these recorders but I found mine on eBay used. What is really nice about this Sony recorder is the small monitor screen it has so you can see what you are recording. Hope this helps and I'd be happy to try to answer any other questions.Regards, Paul

I have a question about this also...Is this a one-time use camcorder or can it be re-used?I am thinking the latter, just by virrtue of the selling price...Many thanks in advance!

Anthony: I used to have a JVC Everio, the first model out some years back. I loved the size of the thing, and it took great still pics. The only thing I didn't like was the .MOD file extensions for the videos. It was, quite frankly, a pain in the butt trying to deal with the vids. I ended up selling it. I don't know if they corrected that .MOD nonsense, but somehow I don't believe so. Go with the SONY (my opinion). Congrats on the baby :-) Mike

Yes this is the 7.0.3. I bought it in 2011. If you are just starting though you might want to get Final Cut X. It's a different platform that should help grow with your needs. That said, if you are trying to re-edit footage originally done in 7.0 then you will need this software since X will not accommodate anything from before. I hope this helps.

Hi, apparently there ate no videos setting for this Sony Camcorder to somehow restraint those videos being taken. The only video settings available is the recording mode, in which it give you three options (LP-low quality, SP -default, and HP-high quality recordings. -Ely

Dean, the only sofeware I have found is the software that came with the cameras, but I hate it! Did you not get the disc when you bought the cameras? If not, I would be happy to send you one, I have 12. I find the cameras to work well, but the software terrible and have not found anything else compatible. I understand the cameras are now obsolete. THe company went out of business. Should you find something let me know,please. tnt6125@aol.com. thanks Tom

http://www.youtube.com/user/artfacestudios/videos?view=0 these videos were pretty much all made with the hvr a1u. From the youtube clips ive seen using the dcrvx2100, i can tell you they seem similar, but maybe the dcrvx2100 is a little on top... Low light on the a1u is grainy, not as bad as some videos ive seen, but definitely noticeable! I also want to find a good low light video camera... Also a little off topic but...i will take the a1u footage over gopro hero2 footage any day. My friend shoots with a Canon D5 or something like that. He really has a lot of control with the camera and his footage is very similar to the a1u. Maybe even better! http://www.youtube.com/user/artfacestudios/videos?view=0 these videos were pretty much all made with the hvr a1u.

Honestly, Handyshare is a very simple program that's good for trimming start and end points and for adding reveb effect to a flat sounding recording. Unless your recording conditions are optimal, and they seldom are, I'd recommend going with a decent video editor, especially since you have a 64 bit OS. CyberLink Power Director 9 is fantastic. I'll admit that there's a bit of a learning curve with it but once you get the hang of it you can do just about anything you can imagine to your videos. Try the free (cut down version) trialware and read all the documentation, system requirements and such. It also comes with great tutorials. Don't buy without trying and good luck. Joe

So t17, do you have any advice about how to reasonably & inexpensively get digital videos made on a Flip onto DVD's? LUV LUV LUV the convenience of the Flip, but I was suprised that I can't just burn my videos to a DVD. Called Ritz Camera (at Flip's suggestion since they are 'authorized to create DVD's from the Flip'), and was shocked that I would need to give them the Flip for 10 days plus $29 for the first DVD and $15 for each subsequent copy. Yikes!! So to give my family (some of whom are elderly and don't have web access) 7 DVD copies of the cool little 18 minute movie I edited together from our July 4th party, I would have to spend $120! There's got to be a better way. Any suggestions?

Hello K. Thomas,I have had the Canon FS10 for 2 months now and have just 'finally' been able to edit a movie successfully after much research and trial and error. However, it was very painful due to the .mod format. The camera itself is very nice, small, and simple. Unfortunately, even after converting the files to .mpg, all of the Microsoft editing and DVD burning software, using Vista, continue to give me errors. I do not want to trash the technology as I may be unknowledgable, however, it's not for the casual editor. I am returning the camera today and looking for one that is more compatible with my software. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Hello K.
