Question about RCA CC-439 Camcorder

Open Question

What is this camcorder?

Though this is not a 439, I saw no decent place to put this question (mods please move this to the appropriate place!). I have an RCA camcorder with the model number of CC275. It has an optical zoom only and a grayscale viewfinder, and no LCD. It records in VHS beautifully. Packaged with it is an A/V switch that changes the signal to a Channel 3 or 4 RF signal for connecting to a TV (similar to the original Nintendo game system), which hooks in close to the 1.5AH battery of unknown type (probably either Lead-Acid or NiCd, it's about an inch and a half thick). With its solid state image sensor, it records in VHS, High Quality, but cannot view in low light conditions. Controls for a high-speed shutter are also handy, as well as a macro lens button. Its lens is a 12 ~ 72mm witha 1:1.6 ratio. Focus is either auto or manual power, with controls to adjust the focus, as well as an auto-iris control. I'm trying to find a downloadable manual for it, as well as some accessories, such as a light. Has anyone heard of this camcorder? I used to see a bunch of these when I was a kid.

Had the same problem took mine apart and found the ribbon cable going to the viewer was cracked and broken probably because of the flexing of the cable during adjustments. Not fixed yet.

SOURCE: camcorder won't record

Check the tape and make sure the record tab is still on the tape and has not been removed. If the record tab has been removed then use a new tape for recording as the unit will not record. This tap is usually on the lower left end of the back of the tape. When the tap is present it closes a record mode switch letting the system know the tape is able to bv recorded on..

I don't know anything about the vhs camera - other than they produce superior quality, when they work ok.

It would be reasonable to assume the tape transport mechanism would be the same as in a vhs video recorder. I remember an engineer telling me there is a post or protrusion containing a light source and sensor that sometimes fails.

The purpose of this is to detect a cassette has been properly loaded into the machine and if it isn't working the machine won't work or only partly work.

I think the camera is worth saving but I strongly suggest such specialist equipment should be entrusted to a suitably experienced professional specialist.

Similar to TOD, MOD is a kind of recording format being used in digital tapeless camcorder like JVC, Panasonic, Canon. MOD video format is comparable to XDCAM EX, HDV and AVCHD.

MOD is used exclusively for standard definition video files, while TOD is used for high definition files. Both MOD and TOD are file-based formats that are stored on a random-access media.

I need to take what i recorded and put on my computer to burn on a disk...how?

Since the camcorder records on Mini DVD+/-R and RW, and SD/MMC cards, just eject the media from the camcorder and insert it into the appropriate drive on your computer. Open the burning software of your choice (which you may or may not already own) and follow the directions for burning the files with that software. If the disks are DVD RW or SD/MMC delete the files after burning is complete. Even though the manual states that it will work with DVD-R, the camcorder seems to have issues finalizing these particular formats, so I recommend using DVD+R and DVD+RW. I hope this helps and good luck. Please vote appropriately and leave a comment.

JCV MOD conversions to MPEG

How to convert .MOD file to mpg, avi, wmv and others?

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.

MOD file

The MOD file is just MPG format,
a simple MS-DOS command line instruction to rename your MOD files to MPG files (first copy your camcorder-harddisk files to PC-harddisk). I use to do the same!
Just execute the following command in the proper directory (or place this line in RENAME_MOD2MPG.BAT, and execute BAT file by doubleclick); the command assumes the JVC 3hexa-digit method of numbering:

ren MOV???.MOD MOV???.MPG
