1) what kind of file format? .MOD? mpeg? MTS? 2) Does it comes with a remote control? 3) is it HDD and/or SD? or both?

1) I have not used this unit in some time, so please excuse my inability to answer this question, but perhaps these can help? -- http://resources.jvc.com/Resources/00/01/34/LYT1979-001C-M.pdf OR http://support.jvc.com/consumer/product.jsp?modelId=MODL028494; 2) no remote ; 3) HDD only, no SD. Also, to others, "HDD" is not "high definition," it means "hard disk drive." Videocams become obsolete so quickly these days. This model still does a good job, but sometimes it's just quicker, easier, and more convenient for us to take my iPad or my daughter's iPad Mini to record video.

im not sure of an instruction manual. But I can answer what I can from experience. the camera isnt the greatest in dim conditions but it works. Storage...my unit is like 2 or 4 gb. And is sd card expandable. I have an 8 gb card in it. Actually tonight I found out that the tab is factory rooted via the kernel. That will allow apps to sd via an app2sd app. This tab I have actually belongs to my 11 year old. It entertains him. However graphic intense games will run but the processor is slow to run them. I found out tonight deer hunter 2014 wont run at normal speed so I had to uninstall it. But for average, less intense games and apps it works fine. video playback is decent depending on quality of video. I tried a dvd quality file and it looked just fine and good detail. But if you transfer a video delete it after you watch it to free up space for the next one. This tab does have the play store by Google. Unlike some other tabs that have the getjar store. Mine does not have bluetooth however you can connect external devices like a bluetooth or cell dongle to the micro usb port. And expand the capability. External hard drives can be connected for maximum storage. One bit of caution when handling the unit. If it is dropped from a height of around 2 foot the screen may crack. I know this because my son got up with out it being secured and it fell. For the price you cant beat it. Again all this is my experience and may differ from other users. But for the price and average use movies, music, a few games its well worth it. Feel free to ask any other questions

I stream mkvs from a NAS all the time. It can access PC file systems too. The best part is that it will automatically retrieve movie info for those mkvs.I have no personal experience with HD audio. You can check the A-400 forum for that.

Hmmm. Mac OS....I must have missed that. I don't have much experience with Macs but there is bound to be something that will work for you. The important thing to remember is that the .MOD file is just a container for a .mpeg file. If you do find a Mac based editing program try changing the extension from .MOD to .mpeg as I mentioned before. The important thing is to avoid recoding the original file in order to maintain quality. Let us know how it goes.

There is a lot of advice on burning to regular DVD-R in the discussion "How to put small clips together". I have a Vista dual core 3GB system and use the Pixela Image Mixer SE software included in the camcorder package. It is not very sophisticated but I find it pretty stable and it does an adequate job of making both regular DVD-R's and AVCHD movies on DVD-R. To just join AVCHD clips together with no editing it is quite fast and I believe it does "smart-rendering" ? Otherwise, the computer may take a few hours to process. Viewing directly on an SD TV is no problem. You just hook up the supplied red/yellow/white AV cables to your TV and put the other end in the back of the camcorder. Best to power it from the power cable though. You will need to come up with a plan to archive your AVCHD video for future use for when you get your HDTV. Otherwise your video may be "gone from the flashcard". When you get your HDTV you might want to think about getting a PS3 or Blu-Ray Player to play your alternate AVCHD DVD-R disks. You can use the supplied HD component video and audio cables to hook up the camcorder to the HDTV, but long-term a Blu-Ray Player is probably a better option. If you want a miniHDMI-HDMI hookup you will have to buy the cable as it is not supplied with the HF100. Currently, a 16GB SDHC card (2 hours FXP AVCHD) costs about $50. It takes 4 standard DVD-R's to store 2 hours of AVCHD at a cost of about $2. Also, how long can you expect the video to last on the flash card ? I have hard drive backups of the raw .mts files, DVD-R backups of the .mts files and DVD-R's of edited AVCHD movies. Oh, and I have edited standard DVD-R's in both NTSC and PAL(for my family in the UK, available from the "settings" tab).....

I never use the format MP4. I just use to play the BD and standard DVD. I wish I could help you more.

AWESOME! Your clarification on the capabilities of this unit seals the deal for me. I just wanted to make CD copies of the music I already have previously recorded on mini-disc. For some reason, I could never get my Net MD recorder (and software) to go from mini-disc, to computer, to CD OR back to another mini-disc(?). Mp3's are OK, but I prefer using CDs/MDs for their sound. MD rules for me for it editing capability, and now I'm willing to go with the MZ-M200 for it's features. Thanks again for the help and the link to the manual!

Thanks for the great information. How do you know which files to convert off your camera (when using without iMovie). The files I see are .MOD, .MOI, and .PGI. Thanks for the help!

I might be a little slow - What about expandable memory - can I load music movie and content onto the sd card? or are you all saying it can only read and save content pulled over from another device like my laptop.

Confusing right? They sell just the hardware and shell. You have to buy the drives. I went with WD Red series. I would recommend you buy two drives ; one to make a mirror backup of the main drive. If yuh have a lot of home videos, buy two 3 TB drives or higher. My analysis suggests that this is the best price point. It is, overall, a $500 investment. But, it's worth it for pictures, phones and computer backup.

Thanks. Do you have a link to the software for ripping DVD's?If I want to rip a DVD, does the box indicate what file type the DVD is?

Hi, there. Quite frankly, this item was placed in my closet not too long after I purchased it. Afraid it didn't seem very compatible or useful and I can't recommend it or even answer you question (I say that because Amazon sent me a not asking if I could). I really seemed nothing more than a very limited hard drive. I much prefer the roku or my teradrive I have attached to my mac mini.

no there is no HDD included - be careful with the HDD you buy check the height with respect of what is allowed by the micca. Correct equipment is OK if you require PAL/NTSC compatibility. However some bugs and the remote control does not work very well. So if you do not need NTSC and PAL you can find other equipments.

This uses a SD card. I believe it can also use a USB thumb drive.Mine is defective, so I haven't used it much. Initially it would generate a motorboat noise over the audio within a few seconds of use, now it plays up to about 15 minutes before the distortion starts.

I haven't used it that way. I was just interested in getting a really big disk drive. But it does come with server software, which is initially disabled. In theory you can stream media to DLNA or iTunes enabled devices. I just checked the manuals and found very little clear info. I can't say for sure what formats the server supports.

I bought 2 from a car stereo store and tried to play videos from both. When it didn't work I did some research and learned they will only show pictures from the SD and USB. huge bummer. manual says: USB supports: MP3 and JPEG files only and will NOT support: BMP, M4P, WAV, ASF, H.264, DivX, WMA.
