Put the SD card into a card reader on your PC or Mac. and copy the contents over. Then edit the material in a video editing software like Adobe Premier Pro, Vegas, Avid, then burn to a DVD.

Thank you but I don't have a problem with my new camcorder, the problem is the DVM60 tapes which go with an older camcorder that won't power up.

If you have the camera there is transfer boxes you can buy for about $30, I'm sure on amazon too. You just plug audio/video cables in and transfer anything to the computer, then burn it on DVD. I have one and it works great. If you don't have the camera there should be something that just plays the tapes, may be hard to find though. Mini DV camcorders are obsolete now, should be able to find one pretty cheap or on eBay to use for transferring tapes.

All I have found so far is to take them to Walmart. They ship them out, so I'm guessing there must be places on line as well. I just started looking myself. Best of luck.

There are a few minidv camcorders still available and they are cheap :http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DCRTRV140-Digital8-Camcorder-Streaming/dp/B0000634T4/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid;=1367267912&sr;=8-22&keywords;=mini+digital+video+cassette+player#productDescription

I would like to ask the same question as "nature enthusiast" that is - I want to do is transfer VHS tapes to DVDs. Consumer Reports said this model "allows you to copy with a simple push of the record button." True. The answers already received are all conflicting, half say yes half say no. Please answer this ? only if you actually know for certain, Thank you !

I know this is a really old post, but this might help someone else...Just started converting old videos to dvd and had a problem with this. Figured it out though...when in dvd mode press the input select button at the top of the remote. It will go to L2 and now you can follow the directions from the manual. - Press VCR, play until you get to the point you want to record and hit pause- Press DVD- Press Dubbing

MiniDV tapes are made for data storage and for use in Panasonic or other brands of MiniDV camcorders. Maxwell 6-120 tapes are for use in Video 8 camcorders. Check the Instruction booklet with your camcorder or storage unit to see if it uses MiniDV tapes. Ifit is a Video 8 camcorder such as Sony makes, Maxwell 8 mm tapes are used.

Hi,I plug the video and sound feed from the receiver that comes with the camera to a Sony model #VRD-MC5 DVD recorder which burns the feed right to a DVD disc. From there I can go to my computer to edit the video.Sony stopped making these recorders but I found mine on eBay used. What is really nice about this Sony recorder is the small monitor screen it has so you can see what you are recording. Hope this helps and I'd be happy to try to answer any other questions.Regards, Paul

No your camera hast to at least playback. This unit does not accept cassettes. Also please disregard some of the negative comments on here. I see several people stating that transferring analog to this unit that the picture is not so good. However, they most likely failed to put the burner into the highest quality setting to fit more on the DVD. I have used 2 different brands of VCR's, A Samsung, mini DV camcorder hooked up via firewire, a Sony CX110 HD camcorder hooked up via USB and several SD memory cards taken with a Kodak camera and have had no trouble with any transfers as of yet.

To transfer video to a computer, you need to use the firewire output on the camcorder. Your computer will need to have a firewire input. If you do not have this, then you can buy a firewire card and plug it into an unusued expansion slot in the back of the computer.

Yes the camera does record and play mini dv tapes. It has been an obsolete item for several years so JVC would not be available for any repair work if needed.

It depends on what 's type of your video extention. Avi mkv. etc. Or somehow it's has been corrupt. Trying to deleted it and transfer it back. Good luck

I bought this a long time ago and I believe I returned it because I had problems with it. It kept stopping when I tried to transfer video from a mini DV tape camcorder to my computer using adobe premier. I bought a Belkin firewire card instead and had no problems. I have no experience using a firewire card to capture video from cable.

You may need to just use a 4 pin to 6 pin adapter cable. Try something like this: Sony VMC-IL4615 1.5 Meter i.LINK 4-Pin to 6-Pin Digital Video Transfer Cable for most Sony Camcorders

What about video tapes? If I attach a VCR, can I transfer my old VHS recordings onto a DVD using this DVR Recorder?

dvm60me is a Mini DV standard which is a bit smaller than VHS-C but have very different mechanisms, so no. You need to get a mini dv adapter for that model.

Hello Kathy H. I have a Canon Mini Digital Video Camcorder, this digital video head clearer works well in my camcorder. I still have a few JVC and a Panasonic VCR cassette tape recorders, the VCR and the Mini Digital video camcorder are made similar bases. They both takes a video cassette. I still use a VCR head cleaner on both of them that works well. The Digital Video Head cleaner should work with your JVC camera if you have to place a Digital Video Cassette in it to recorded and event. That is my experience.

Unless the DV CAM uses some proprietary format, it should not be a problem. Can you find someone with a laptop with an SD card reader - or - take it to a printing service (UPS Store or Fedex) and ask them to read it.

You didn't look at the manual did you? There is a page on the DVD's that this Toshiba will record on, unfortunately it's very few. Really to record you have to find disks that are cprm compatible. I emailed TDK about which of their dvd disks that are cprm compatible, and they told me they don't sell them in the US, only in europe or outside of the US. the movie and music industry has clamped down on people copying their media. Go to your electronics store and see how many DVD RECORDERS they have. You won't find many, players yes but not recorders. Even with such disks I tried to copy a movie from one of the premium channels and on the tv screen, it said it would not copy. Ten years ago it worked, not anymore.
