Hard drive video recording When transferring Everio footage to a computer, transfer speed has been significantly improved for 2006, taking approximately half as long to transfer data as the original Everio G Series models. One hour of Ultra model video, about 4GB, now takes about five minutes to transfer. The Everio GZ-MG37 offers built-in DVD burner control allowing them to be directly connected to an optional JVC DVD burner, the CU-VD10 SHARE STATION. The camcorder connects to the burner via a USB cable and the burner is easily controlled by the camcorder. Everio .mod files are converted to the DVD Video format and the SHARE STATION creates discs that can be played on most DVD players.
Software and DVD For use with PCs, Everio camcorders come with CyberLink?s PowerDirector Express NE for editing, PowerProducer 3 NE for authoring and PowerDVD 5 NE for playback. For Macintosh users, JVC provides Pixela?s Capty MPEG Edit EX for simple editing and file conversion to popular editing formats, and ?mono DVD? for easy DVD authoring. An available option is Capty DVD for full function DVD authoring.
