So, for Christmas 2007 I got a JVC Everio GZ-MG130U HDD video camera. I love it! The video quality is great, the battery is pretty good, you record straight to HDD (30GB in my case) and you can even record in 16:9. 
But… you can’t playback in 16:9… what??!?!?! Yeah, for some reason JVC doesn’t write the proper widescreen flag properly in ther MPEG2-PS file format (for which they use the .MOD extension). So, how do you fix your videos?
You can either do some time-consuming and manual work with your favorite video editing suite (Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, etc), or you can download SDCopy – a freeware utility that someone wrote to handle this issue.
I learned about it here – Canon Elura User Information Awesome!!!
You will probably need to google for the file to find a copy – but I was able to locate one which I *think* was hosted by the author of the utility. |
