  • does .MOD works with final cut pro??

  • @luccacastellisb These camcorders work fine with iMovie '08 & higher, so I assume the same is true with FCP.

  • Thanks man.. I was looking for this program..

  • what the name of the theme song i'm looking for it plz email me if u know it awwwww :'(

  • I have a problem with the SD copy program. I'm getting the 16:9 aspect ratio in my videos (I use a Panasonic SDR-H40P), but I hear no sound coming from the videos. Did I do something wrong?

  • @iamthebomb17 Panasonic camcorders give you a choice of either MPEG or Dolby AC3 audio. You should set it to Dolby AC3 because I know that works fine with SDcopy. I haven't tested using my Panasonic SDR-S50 with the audio in MPEG mode, so I don't know if that causes any problems with SDcopy.

  • @vwest7ife Okay, thanks.

  • ummm am i the only person that this dose not work for!!!

  • Correction, iMovie works if video is shot in 4:3...doesnt morph to 16:9 video

  • @bakonfreek It depends on whether you select "DV" or "DV Widescreen" when creating a new project.

  • Thank you Sir. My disc was destroyed and this helped a lot.

  • YOUR LINK DOESNT WORK YOU SHOULD FIX THAT

  • @beautybella01 I just tried both links and they both work!

  • i have panasonic sdr s26 i use sd copy and i upload some video on youtube but quality when i watch it on my pc is pretty good but when i upload to youtube quality is worst i ever see. help me. /watch?v=n2JopDraifs

  • @stefy747 For the best results, record your videos using XP mode, which is the highest quality. The files will be larger but you will get better quality when uploaded to YouTube.

  • is that the Windows XP song playing in the background?

  • k when i try to use it on windows movie maker 2 it has o audio? ugh PLZ help me

  • That program is awesome! Thanks a lot!

  • So it's working for me, but when I click the option to set 16:9 resolution, the videos come out stretched more than that... :/

  • @AgonizedCandle Are you using a Panasonic camcorder? I thought newer versions of SDcopy had fixed that bug, but I guess not.

  • @vwest7ife I'm using a Canon FS22. I think I'd downloaded an older version of SDcopy, I've got it working properly now. So all is well. :)

  • can I use videoredo with my samsung smx f40 camcorder? cause the video aspect ratio never comes out correct and...well...yeah...I can't edit videos like that.

  • @bakonfreek VideoReDo Plus only works with MPEG1 and MPEG2 files. VideoReDo TV Suite now works with MP4 video files, but costs more.

  • @vwest7ife thanks

  • @vwest7ife VideoReDo TV Suite sucks at editing with .mp4 videos. it's all laggy and jerky, and it squeezes 16:9 .mp4 video to 4:3

  • It dosen't work with sony and transferring... to a mac, to after effects... will that work?

  • @JITOCANC SDcopy is not needed in your case, because Sony camcorders already store the videos as standard MPEG2 files with the correct aspect ratio set.

  • would this work if u put the video on to the memory stick and then put it on to the laptop

  • @Chris2000ism SDcopy can work with MOD video files in any location. You just set the source directory to wherever the files are.

  • Hi, great video.

    Quick question, I use windows live movie maker on windows 7.

    apparently windows 7 supports .mod format.

    does this mean i can then use the canon fs200 for youtube videos without having to change formats from mod to MPG? and still upload in widescreen?

  • @C77stock I don't use Windows 7 (or Vista) so I can't tell you for sure. You can try using the MOD files directly, and then if that doesn't work, use SDcopy.

  • @vwest7ife .MOD is fine w/ windows 7, but the transitions are not as smooth as on the videoredosuite...I could see at least a .6 second pause. between clips. in movie maker.

  • UGHHHH DOES IT WORK FOR MAC????????????

  • @AnthonyRandomVideos NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The .MOD files these cameras produce is 100% DVD-Video compliant (MP@ML MPEG2 Video with AC3 Audio within DVD-Video bitrate limits) so dumping to DVD involves no re-encoding.

    For editing/joining clips I use Womble MPEG-VCR. Its only limitation is that it can't render AC3 audio, but its perfectly fine for simple cut editing and only $20.

  • I did everything you did and it changed the file name and everything then i go to windows movie maker tho find the new file and it doesn't pop up where i saved it . HELP ME PLEASE!

  • @iSkateVanzz You have to "drag and drop" the video clips into Movie Maker. The clips will not automatically appear on their own.

  • for some reason my vids are in moi. and sdcopy dosent work w\ith thatwhat should i do?

  • @tcsk8er13 Look for the MOD files. They may be in a different folder on the drive. MOI files contain only information about the video, such as the time and date they were recorded. The actual video recording is in the MOD files.

  • Hi, JVC Everio GZ-MS110 make a USB NORMAL ON COMPUTER?

  • @MikePystatho I don't understand your question... can you be more specific?

  • @vwest7ife GZ MS110 connects to the computer normally, opening the folder?

  • @MikePystatho The GZ-MS110 works the same way as I show in the video.

  • imovie doesnt work fine with MOD files! help!

  • @SwagFB Use iMovie to import the videos directly from the camcorder, and it will work. Don't copy the MOD files manually and then try to import them later; that may cause problems.

  • @vwest7ife thanks it worked

  • done it dw

  • mine dont have playback on pc and if i plug it in it dont do nothing and ive installed all the stuff in description and stuff it came with help

  • sony vegas will do mp4 i think it does anything

  • lol tht 1 on the right is wat i got but in red

  • My JVC saves in MTS 0.o

  • @KoolKidKarl2k8 MTS is a high definition video format. What I show in this video only applies to standard definition camcorders.

  • Hey, very helpful videos thanks a lot. Ive got a fs200 and have looked everywhere for the SD copy download as it seems your link is broken. Any idea where i can this download?

  • @BullionReview I have updated the link in the video description. It should work now.

  • When i turned my jvc camcorder on nuthing showed

  • Hey im thinking of getting a Digital Camera not a camcorder a Digital Camera yh well when i get it if i wanted to uplod a video from it to my computer then to youtube will this SD programme work im running on Windows XP will it work or is there another way i dont have a SD card slot on my computer or a External SD one what plugs in ASAP

  • @bluedog916 No, SDcopy is only for camcorders which save video files in the MOD format.

    If your digital camera saves video files in MJPEG format, it will work fine with Windows Movie Maker in XP. The camera can be connected to your computer using a USB cable, so do you don't need a separate SD card reader.

  • it's good, but it's not worth $50...

  • @bakonfreek It is for me. VideoReDo is a huge time-saver, not having to wait 10-15 minutes for the video to re-encode after you finish editing it.

  • @vwest7ife couldn't it be $30 instead of $50 tho?

  • @bakonfreek VideoReDo can charge a higher price because the program has a specific purpose (edit without re-encoding) which virtually no other program can do. The other video editing programs without this feature have much higher competition between them since there are so many out there, so they need to offer a low starting price to get you to try them.

  • @vwest7ife just found a trick with command prompt where it did the basic joiner function...but that's all =P

  • thank you!!!!!! u saved my youtube!! I was looking for this download everywhere and got shitty ones where u gota pay 50 bucks and crap

    thnk you!!

  • man!!

    THANKS!!! (Y)

  • I Have The EXACT Same Canon Camcorder, Just In Red. I Did EXACTLY What You Did, And The Movie Footage Came Out As AUDIO In Windows Movie Maker.... I Keep Getting This Problem.... :( I HATE Windows Movie Maker, And Canon -.-

  • @TheProdigysWarrior Windows Movie Maker is erratic when editing MPEG2 video files. Even with all the correct codecs installed, it only works sometimes, and most of the time only the audio is recognized. I recommend using a better program for editing your videos. YouTube also has a new feature where you can edit your videos after you upload them, but I haven't tried it yet.

  • @vwest7ife  I Guess Movie Maker Is Just So OLD It Needs A Kick In The System To Be Able To Do The Things We Need It To Do. Im Gonna Go And Use The YouTube Editing Thing Now, What Have I Got To Lose?

  • 0:05 on the left i have th exact same camcorder

    LOL

  • I am not worthy. My god...I have a canon Vixia 21 and am still trying to figure out how to edit movie content. I have downloaded to the computer but I cannnot seem to edit the material.

  • @SuperTMQ The Vixia 21 is a high definition camcorder. The instructions in this video only pertains to standard definition camcorders.

  • THANK YOU! IM SO HAPPY

  • @miniman7985 You just take the MPG file created by SDcopy (or VideorReDo) and upload it.

  • THANK YOU!!! finally, there is an easier way to get 16:9 aspect ratio to work properly.

    you got my thumbsup!

  • my jvc uses mpeg files

  • to put videos an photos from my cam to my computer i wire the camere i go throught files i select them i copy and then paste them on my computer then i upload them

  • i have the canon fs200 and when i connect mine the the removal disk is not there is the anyother thing i can go on the make it work

  • @whynotskate100 Try reformatting your SD card.

  • does this work on sony handycams?

  • @DeejGrif1 You don't need SDcopy with a Sony since they save videos in MPG format already. But you can use VideoReDo to edit the videos if you want.

  • what do you do if you have video and no sound

  • @parrishstuckey1 With these cameras that usually means you need to install the AC3 Dolby Digital audio codec. If your computer came with software for playing DVDs, try installing or reinstalling it, because DVDs also use the AC3 audio codec.

  • can I put titles in videos with VideoReDo? cause that's what I wanna do with my camera in addition to what it already does

  • @bakonfreek VideoReDo TVSuite lets you add custom titles. The cheaper VideoReDo Plus does not.

  • @vwest7ife ahh...thanks for the clarification

  • THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH THIS HELPS!!!!!!! ALOT

  • You sound like my bff's dad.

  • Thanks for this man, very useful (:

  • @vwest7life is it possible that i can convert a .MOV file to a .MPEG4 file?!?!? plz answer asap

  • This looks great but for some reason when I have the camcorder hooked up to the usb cord and I have selected PC, it is never recognized to my computer and after taking several minutes with the hour glass spinning, it says Disconnecte USB cable. What can I do next?

  • @renaepelo Try uninstalling any drivers or software you may have installed on the computer for the camera, and then start over.

  • @renaepelo did you plug in the power cord along with the usb?

  • @199FOE With Canon camcorders you do need to plug in the power cord. With JVC you don't. I'm not sure about Panasonic.

  • @vwest7ife yes, panasonic needs the power to be plugged in, I know cause I have one.

  • @adamdbvids You are looking for the video files I assume? Go into DCIM and find where the videos are stored. Not all camcorders store their video in a SD VIDEO folder. Your video files are somewhere in DCIM or the folders inside DCIM.

  • Very helpful! I was looking at a lot of nice JVC camcorders and some Canons, but worried about the file type.

  • WHY IN THIS VIDEO THERE IS NOT BLACK BARS ABOVE AND SIDES (how did you do it' ) AND OTHERS WE SEE THEM ?

  • @jogrebo Did you actually watch and listen to the video!? The whole purpose of it is to show you how I get my videos to display properly on YouTube!

  • HOW DID YOU EDIT THIS VIDEO WITHOUT BLACK BARS ABOVE AND BOTH SIDES OF THE SCREEN?

  • OMG! this video is so informative I am having such a hard time uploading I'm glad I found this video. You doned such a good job thank so much I will follow your instructions. I know I'll have questions I will touch base with you for any help,if that's okay with you...many thanks :) OH I have a JVC 130

  • i got a Canon FS300 and the .MOD flies work fine with my movie maker (i have windows 7 professional) but when i direct upload in the widescreen youtube makes it 4:3 instead of 16:9.

  • @xctome That's why you need to use SDcopy!

  • @vwest7ife it works great!!!

  • "they fit in the palm of your hand" that's what she said! XD Your balls :o

  • hey i have an FS300 and my videos won't upload to widescreen because they are the file MSWMM or whatever i really want to make them widescreen!

  • @Johnbosveld1 Search for the video "Important Tips for Windows Movie Maker Users". It should help you get your widescreen WMM videos to show up correctly on YouTube.

  • Hello, i have the jvc everio gz-ms240AU and i need to know how to upload videos. after i plug in the white cable it asks me how to upload. i click upload and nothing happens. im in desperate need of help thanks!

  • @HannahHeartsGlam Did you actually watch my video? I thought I explained it quite clearly. Please watch the full video before asking questions. Thank you.

  • @vwest7ife yea, but i have a newer cinputer than you so mines different. but i figured it on my own!

  • Hey im trying to upload a video i made off of a Panasonic PV-GS32 Digital Video Camcorder but when i go to the source directory part, and i choose removable disk, the SD_VIDEO isnt there. how do i get it on there? go to my channal or just post your answer on here, or on facebook.... joe-4@live.com

  • @LeVo1900 The PV-GS32 is a MiniDV tape camcorder. In case I didn't make it clear enough in the video, this method only works with flash memory (SD card) and hard drive camcorders.

  • do u need software to upload a video

  • @mrxxcodgodxx I don't understand your question. Please be more specific.

  • @vwest7ife do u need a disc to u pload a video. i dont know how to do it and sd copy n my computer doesnt work

  • @mrxxcodgodxx You still aren't giving me any information to work with. I suggest you go to videohelp . com and explain your problem there *in detail*, so people can help you.

  • i have a xacti camcorder and want to be able to edit my videos is there a free website i can do that from? please message me thanks

  • I have a jvc everio gz-hm300

    When i go to the drive for the camera, SD_VIDEO is not there! HELP!!

  • hey how do i put music onto my fs300 camcorder from the computer

  • Hey vest7ife!! Thank you so much for you video and your help about fs200. As a newbie I had no idea how to deal with that things and now I can work efficiently with my camera on my (old) laptop. Thanks a lot!! I'm happy about you guys who makes the effort to help other people with new things and that even for free!!

  • i want a sd camcorder that you can pause when recording...anybody know of 1 .

  • @techstyle123 Unfortunately there is no such thing. Any flash memory or hard drive camcorder will create a new file whenever you stop recording and then start again. Only tape based camcorders offer a true "pause" feature.

  • whats the url for tht link ur using

  • @MarkieBhoy17 Links are in the video description.

  • whats the url for tht link ur using

  • i am having trouble uploading to youtube

  • i'v been trying to use my hp v504u digital camcorder to get videos on windows movie maker, but every time i go to capture from video device it says it cant find anything even though my camera is plugged in, and i cant get videos saved on my cp either, all it lets me do is upload them drectly to utube and u can only use a single strait video, thats y i want movie maker 2 put multiple clips on 1 video and make them funner 2 watch please help this is so confusing!!!

  • Movie Maker will probably not recognize your camcorder as a capture device; it was really designed to work with tape camcorders. I suggest you try other video editing software, such as Sony Vegas.

  • would the Canon FS200 work with movie maker? cause on Canon's website it says the format is in MPEG-2

  • Depending on the codecs you have installed, Windows Movie Maker may or may not work correctly with MPEG2 videos. Unfortunately there is no guarantee.

  • @vwest7ife ok. i am using windows vista home premium as of now, hopefully i will be getting a new laptop with windows 7. could i convert the MPEG-2 to like MPG or AVI would that work?

  • @xctome I've been able to get MPEG2 videos to work in WMM by installing the "K-Lite MPEG Pack". Just search for that name and you should find a link to download it.

  • @vwest7ife cool. i shall do that. thanks Kevin!!

  • does anyone know of a good editing program thatll let me add music and wont decrease the quality of the video?

  • sony vegas 8 or adobe after effects

  • This is a very good and informational video. I do appreciate the time you took to relay this information. I was looking for a video like this and it will sure be advantageous to my video editing with the Canon FS200..

  • How do you upload from a sony hand cam hdr-rx200 ? I'm having trouble.

  • Sorry, I'm not familiar with Sony HD camcorders.

  • please message me or reply asap, thanks.

  • hey i dont know why but the sd converter isnt working on my computer after i extract the files form downloading it and try to open the sd converter program it says "this application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." ive uninstalled and reinstalled this program a bunch of times, can i get some help?

  • @bakedchurro You need to install the Microsoft Virtual Basic 6.0 runtime files. This should've been on your computer already as part of Windows, but if not, I believe you can download it from Microsoft's web site.

  • the link for the sd video it is broken, can you send me another link?

  • The Zyvid site tends to go down from time to time. Try again later. If it still isn't working soon, I'll make my own download available.

  • @AlexGaultchannel The link is now working again.

  • Thanks for the Info! I've been looking for software to edit and combine old (VHS) and new (SD) videos! Awesome! Thanks Again!

  • Very, Very good informational, and instructive video... For all us video novices out there... THANK YOU!!!! You rock!!

  • I can't seem to find the link for the SD conversion you had said was in zip format?

  • Virtualdub is a good free alternative to videoredoplus when it just comes to simple editing. When I record TV shows onto my computer I use another program to record directly to xvid, but I use virtual dub to losslessly edit out things I don't need like commercials. I don't know if it works with mpeg 2 video, but it does seem to work well with xvid and probably many more.

  • VirtualDub is great and I use it a lot, but its editing capabilities are pretty crude. However, it works great with my ATI video capture card, so I've used VirtualDub for just about everything posted on my music channel (vwest1ife).

  • Um...my video is 20 seconds in the MOD is 88mb and so is the mpg. When i render out of vegas avi is 10gb and wmv is 300mb...When i open the wmv in windows media player i get blue screen and my computer crashes. Why is this so fcked?

  • I cannot help you with Vegas, as I do not use it.

  • do you know why a 30 second video would be 300mb? What is normal size for a video? and should i compress videos?

  • Try asking on videohelp . com. I cannot give you support on every aspect of making and editing videos, especially for programs which I do not use.

  • haha ok

  • Comment removed

  • On the forum post, click on the attachment link to download the ZIP file. (Right below "Regards, Sektionschef")

  • Comment removed

  • I can't seem to find the link for the SD conversion you had said was in zip format? Can you direct me?  I'm new to this & don't know where to find the link.

  • Click on the link I provide on this video, then look next to the green paper clip icon for the link to download the file "SDcopyV1.9998beta.zip".

  • Thanks very much i got it to work!

  • I have a question. I have a JVC Everio and i am trying to upload a video to youtube i just make on my camcorder. i hooked up the cord to my computer and nothing popped up. What do I do?

  • Did you watch my video before asking the question? Just use the program "SDcopy" which I show in the video and provide a link to download. It's free and much better than the software that JVC includes.

  • Excellent video and very informative. I never gave much thought to different formats until recently. I have a Sony camera that uploads very easily by USB to My Pictures, and Windows Movie Maker has not problem with the Sony format. I am not sure what format the Sony is. Will the SDcopy convert a DVD format for uploading to Windows Movie Maker and youtube. Thanks for showing the Videoredo , I think that is the software to have for editing.

  • SDcopy is not needed for DVD camcorders. You can just jump right into VideoReDo, or whatever program you want to use, and edit the video you've recorded onto the DVD.

  • Hi vest7ife, I did not mean a DVD camcorder, I meant a DVD movie disc. Windows movie maker doesn't recognize their format. I thought maybe the SDcopy could transfer the DVD format to MPEG2, which windows movie maker does recognize, but I guess if you get the VideoReDo, it would solve most all the format problems

  • No. SDcopy is only designed to work with the .MOD files generated by some brands of flash memory and hard drive camcorders.

    VideoReDo is designed to work with DVDs, but be aware that it will not "crack" the copy protection on commercially released DVDs, if that's what you have in mind. You'll need other software (illegal but widely available) to do that.

  • That was the information I was looking for. I thought I could count on you for the right answer Thanks.

  • i need help my canon fs11 i plug it in to the computer and it reconizes it and it says connect compact power adapter so i plug in the charger and my camera dosent notice it and my dad bought a new charger for it and it still doesnt work ....... PLEASE HELP !!!! , thank you

  • Try connecting the power adapter before you turn on the camcorder or connect it to the USB. The red light on the camcorder should start to flash, telling you that it is charging the battery. Also try initializing (erasing) the camcorder's internal memory, as it could be corrupted.

    For further help, please read your owner's manual and/or contact Canon tech support. I do not work for Canon, nor do I own the same model of camcorder you have, so I am not the expert on this!

  • is there any way i can save my videos with out deleting anything i have some very special clips on there

  • The camcorder may have the ability to copy videos from its internal memory to an SD flash memory card, but I'm not sure -- again, read the owners manual, and contact Canon for detailed tech support.

  • I recently read that Windows 7 will not include Windows Movie Maker. So, there's another good reason to download SDcopy and VideoReDo Plus.
