@JJackeeeeee jvc has puts their videos in a weird format so you'll have to convert them OR if you have vista and up, with the live movie maker, you can just drag it in. Idk why it works, it's some sort of loophole. i got a remote with mine but I got jvc everio gz-mg630.
hey is that hard clay soil? if it is, get some Aerify plus from natureslawn dotcom and see what it does! am hoping to get a GZ HD360 thanks for the post!! How much did yours cost?
I have a question on editing...this might be more of a Sony Vegas question though but hopefully you can help...whats the template or even width and height ratio I should use to get the best quality from this camera to the tv screen once I burn the footage on a dvd?
@RemixReplayRewind yeah it probably is...cause the thing is I can't use MOD. files on Sony Vegas Pro 8. It only shows video, but no audio... or audio with no video, I can't remember.
Thank you, this is so far the most informative video on this cam I have seen.
It's kinda a bummer not being able to connect an external mic, as with most corders, the sound tends to be a little condensed and muddy. From what I can tell from your vid the sound seems ok and I do plan on purchasing...
is there anyway to record clips from tv on this camera to upload to the web? well, besides the obvious of pointing the camera at the tv and hitting record.....lol
Thanks for your review of the MG330; I purchased the next model down based on your review the MG230. It's almost identical to the 330 except for less zoom 28x, no led light, and no remote.
I enjoyed your cold coffee video and will try to make it at home.
Rick, I hate to break it to you but you cannot stream with the MG330, at least I have not found a way to yet. If you are just using it for Ustream, why not buy a webcam instead?
Hey man, great video :) It would mean a lot to me if you made a video test of how this camcorder works in the dark, because I plan to film a scene for a fan film in the dark, and would like to know how good it looks. Thanks a bunch, keep making the great videos :D
this is ridiculous! i have this exact same camera and the quality is complete SHIT(and yes it is on ultra fine quality -.- ) is there a program u use or something? not even joking... i desperalty need to know why this quality looks so good. ultra fine looks worse than economy does in ur video here.
There is no infrared or night vision mode. All it does it raise the gain so things appear brighter, but there is no mode that does what you are looking for.
hi brickshot nice test videos dude i have a question for you dude. in night mode does it do the greenish look on the screen and can i use it in the dark like search for ghots lol i know it sounds crackers heh let me know cheers
I can't answer about 16:9 questions because I don't use Sony Vegas. Just try to look deeply in the project options or when creating it, so you can set 1280x720 or 16:9.
About the huge file, you should try encoding at H264 at around 2500kb/s. Try installing latest DivX version.
I just need to know the fps on it cause im going to start making skate videos soon

Just 1 question?
I'm having a difficult time trying to edit my videos on sony vegas pro 8 from my JVC Everio camcorder....
I managed to do it but i always reach two problems that i cant solve:
1- I record with 16:9 specs (Ultra fine) but end up editing it with 4:3.!!!
2- I convert my files to avi then edit it which gives me a 16:9 specs but a HUGE FILE after rendering that i cant upload to youtube !!
NaqbiPower 3 years ago
I can't answer about 16:9 questions because I don't use Sony Vegas. Just try to look deeply in the project options or when creating it, so you can set 1280x720 or 16:9.
About the huge file, you should try encoding at H264 at around 2500kb/s. Try installing latest DivX version.

The conversion by YouTube dose not do this test justice, if you saw the raw files, you would notice a difference. It's just really hard to see here.
