Cant get my hitachi dz-acs3 ac adapter battery charger to work

The light will not come on when it is plugged in and the batery is set in the charger to charge, even with the dc out power supply the dvd cam will not work, could the charger go bad? does this happen often?

    I've got the same problem. This camera has been VERY rarely used in recent years, but battery was properly charged up initially. I think charger worked a couple weeks ago but just tried it and the charger seems completely dead. Tried multiple things; even took to a camera store to check my sanity. I think they've got a real FLAW here with this failure. Stinks! Because really expensive to have to buy replacements for all these parts of the adapter/charger to know which part has failed!! So Frustrating!

My hitachi camcorder says I need an AC adapter/charger

Hi Riannasmail,
You need a camcorder to charger DC cable,it looks like a battery with a trailing cable that has a DC plug on the end that plugs into the Hitachi battery charger.If you are in the USA you should be able to buy one for about $8 to $12,if you live in UK you will be ripped off at about £24.
I made my own adaptor and charger system for less than £20,If you need more info please contact me.

Damaged DVD-R Disc

Try to play it by connecting camcorder through the ac adapter/charger which will further connect the battery, so this means you do not have to put the battery in the camcorder rather get it through the ac adapter/charger and format if it asks to. I recovered 1 disc by doing so!

Codecs anyone?

I have the same camera, and found out that the VRO file is just MPEG2. So copy the VRO file onto your computer from your disc. Once its on your harddrive, you can right click on it and go to properties. Re-name your file from VRO to MPG, making sure that you still have the original VRO file in case you need it for other programs. Once I change it to MPG file name, I can use media player to play it and I have a DVD movie maker where i can edit and record to DVD.
