Hi,
did your lcd problem solved or still need help as I'm able to provide you help in replacing lcd of camera.

I don't believe there's a setting for this. I suggest saving -closing the program then re-opening it. You can also try some different upload methods. Hope that helps.

If you got a JVC camcorder, or Panasonic camcorder or Canon MOD camcorder, you would have probably encountered such issue--- what to do with the MOD/TOD files----the God forsaken video format? And you want to convert the recorded .MOD file type to mpeg, avi, mkv, flv, mp4, wmv or whatever more common, so that you can put them on Youtube, Myspace, Google video and Hulu later on to share the camcorder video with your friends or more people? And there is another headache thing is that most major video editing suites seem to unwillingly accept the MOD/TOD format. Even windows video maker, I have to say it's too complicated to use

Someone successfully made it simply by changing the extension from .mod to mpg, but for most people, they just failed only to find there is no audio after the extension is changed, or the changed one doesn’t allow you to import these files into Windows movie maker, not to mention upload some video to Youtube.com or Facebook.

any alternativs? There is a very simple program that convert .mod NOT ONLY to mpg but many others like avi, mkv, flv, mp4, wmv, rm, rmvd, mov, dv, mg2 and swf. MOD converter is the one shoot all the trouble. This excellent mod conversion tool is not just a converter but also a video editing tool. From now on, with the MOD converter you can enjoy your mod video on many media player, even on portable devices like blackberry, Gphone, PSP, Creative Zen,etc.

Things will be easier if you take a moment to finish reading the Step by Step on how to convert .mod to mpg, avi, wmv and others

Step1 Turn on your pc. Download and install MOD converter

Click here to download and install it by running iOrgsoftTODconverter.exe

Run MOD converter; select the .MOD file you want to convert by clicking the Add or File button to load MOD info. Click the profile button to define the output video format.

Wait a minute, if your exported camcorder video is in a .tod extention file style , it doesn't matter, we have TOD converter

the camcorder will stop recording automatically when the lcd screen is closed.

there is no way you can link scenes together on your hdd handycam. one possible solution to this issue is to burn or write movies onto a dvd using the supplied software, then all movies you burned would have seemless playback.

Look for a physical switch or menu that toggles between internal or external mic - should be internal, or a switch or menu that toggles between mic or line, should be mic input.

You're right, you can't pause it; at least not that I can find. However, the "stop" kind of acts like a pause, because ... if you stop recording and then start it up again, even though it records as two different videos, you can easily add them together in "edit"mode, which is basically the same thing as pausing.

you need the latest imovie or at least imovie08 to play these videos on your mac.

With the help of VGA/ I Link Cable..
as per the port availability.

will give you a step by step on your camcorder.

• connect your camcorder using your USB cable to your computer and be sure it is ON
• Install the cd driver camed with your camcorder. if you didnt prompt on looking for a driver then go to the add hardware on the control panel and follow the procedure there.
• after the installation you should see the icon on the my computer labeled scanners and cameras and indicating the model of your camcorder.
• Install Ulead Power Producer or any editing movie that you have like Windows movie maker, nero movier maker etc.. i prefer to use Ulead because its so easy to use
• after uploading and editing your videos using ULEAD save it on any various types of videos that you like. you should see it after you want to save it.
• burn your videos on NERO software

by the way i would suggest that you use windows xp(because im using ULEAD without any problem issue) instead of pinnacle and do it at your own risk.

Hope you understand my procedures. Good Luck!

In my opinion, connecting jack between camera and docking is creating problem, might be one or more pins are not connecting properly. Give a close look on both male-female jack pins.

yes ur TV might be set to color system PAL /NTSC and ur cam corder in opposite format there is color system changing button on every tv remote just try changing it to PAL or NTSC see if colors work and let me know and pls rate me if i fixed ur problem

guys hope you all found the solution like me who had same issue. if you noticed, it says about the aspect ratio and that means the formated disc aspect ratio is not compatible with the aspect ratio your camera need. so re-formating the dvd with right aspect ratio solved the problem quickly and we have peace.

After camera is on dock and usb is plugged in, turn on the camera. You can open the door to see the status of the connection as an option. This should do it. If the camera is off, nothing will happen when you run the imagemixer software

First be sure to have installed ImageMixer software that came with the camera. If you can't find the disc go here... http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=DCRSR40&LOC=3 then select your operating system and then select imagemixer to download.

Step 1:
Place camera onto docking station, connect usb cable to computer, open camera door, turn on camera. Imagemixer should open automatically, if not open up imagemixer.

Transfer to Computer:
Select "Viewing and Editing", then select "handycam" tap, click on "▼" (arrow) facing down, then click "movies". Place a check mark on each movie you wish to move to the computer then click "Options" tab (lower left corner) and see where the movies will end up once you click "Import to computer".

Burn to DVD:
Be sure you have a DVD drive that can write to DVD's. Will have DVD R/RW on the face of the drive. Place a blank DVD into drive. Follow Step 1. Then click "One Touch DVD Burn" from the imagemixer menu. Follow any instructions on screen.

Or you can choose to use Windows Explorer and select the drive letter that is your camera's harddrive and move/copy/cut/paste files directly from this location to another.

the battery is dead or that power circut has a problem, but make sure you have a goo battery

make sure you download the latest drivers from your device maker. then make sure you have your specific device selected for audio import in your editing screen. I wasn't able to get sound from my sony camcorder under windows movie maker until i selected my camcorder for audio import. Using your computer's sound card for audio import will not work. Hope this helps.

There would be sound on playback in camera and may be Volume is too low. To increase volume, touch P-MENU then VOLUME and increase ---> it.

No sound when playing back imported file in PC can be issue of sound driver of Windows or sound codec for media Player in your PC.

You can download Cole2k codec pack (audio included) and install it in PC. This will enable your PC to playback all kind of media files.

couple your cam on your computer, go to my computer right click and then scan with anti-virus it may be the problem
