I tried searching the forums but was having trouble finding anything, so I apologize if this is a repeated post. I just got a JVC Everio GZ-MS120 and have had nothing but trouble trying to get anything to recognize it or its dual .mod files. The MediaBrowser software it came with is completely worthless-so we've been trying everything and contacting JVC to get something to work!
Meanwhile, I read that Premiere Elements supports the weird files of the Everios, and so downloaded the trial to make sure it works before I spend the money on the software. After reading forums, websites and trying everything, we at least got Premiere to pull up the .mod files, and after more headaches we figured out how to slightly unsquish them (16:9 issues), although they are still incredibly grainy and still not entirely 16:9 (but that has to do with the camcorder not filming in real 16:9--another lovely factor of this horrible piece of equipment--although I don't know what's causing the graininess).
But after spening hours upon frustrating hours we think we got it to work somewhat with Adobe Premiere- the only software so far that's been able to do so. Now the next step we are having issues with is being able to just import directly from the camcorder into Adobe instead of wrestling with the functionless MediaBrowser JVC threw in :mad:.
When we go through Get Media > USB Memory Camcorder (or we also tried going through the file and selecting the drive the camcorder shows up under), it pulls up the Media Downloader window then says "Fatal Error: Adobe Media Download has encountered an error and needs to close." Error code: c000094, Address: 1c408850. So any ideas??:confused:
My husband got me this camcorder for my birthday a few weeks beforehand- so it's passed it's 14 day return policy otherwise my husband would have taken it back and gotten a brand that recorded in a more useful format. So before we both throw the camcorder out the window, I'm really hoping that Adobe Premiere can help us import and edit these clips! Thanks in advanced for any help offered!
