- As grandpa describes, this mini DV camcorder has lots of great features and isn't as big as those old antique ones that people carried on their shoulder back in the day.
I had a Canon ZR45MC back in 2002 that used MiniDV. I had to go out and buy a Firewire PCI card for my computer just to offload the video and edit it. I was a little skater punk back in the early 2000s and used that camera for all our filming. I even found an off-brand wide-angle lens that worked with it. Eventually from dropping it one too many times a piece fell out when I ejected a tape, and from then on it would never recognize that a tape was inserted. RIP my dear friend.
I had one of those or maybe i still have it somewere in the houss and i remember how cool it was
i grew up in chile. my parents used this to film events like birthday parties and other stuff i went to.
Grandpa might want to spend the rest of the evening in his back yard fall out shelter. ;)
I shared your comment and he agreed. haha
love that oldschood stuff, you can buy that super cheap and working forever :))
Where could you buy it for super cheap
@SwagPuppetm8 Thanks homie I got mad tapes and nothing to get the footage off of them
Hi! I have a small problem. The camera works, but on the display is shown that the camera is on safeguard or something like that (because the casette is propably set on „save“). When i open the camera to put in a casette, it wont open. Everything works fine, just the casette slot wont open.
Masinfira1 are you pushing down the butron (or sliding depending on your type)
You can remove the battery and charger, leave it for 10 minutes so it resets, and power it back on and continue normal operation. If this doesn't work, your camera may have a bigger issue. I tried this with a camera I bought of ebay, and I'm relieved to say it works.
I have one right, but it keeps saying unit in safe mode. How do u remove the safe mode?
did anyone reply to how to remove the safe mode?
@@sheilagomez2137I find that if you take the tape out it works (did for me), my dad passed me down this camcorder for home videos nostalgia 🥲
I have the JVC-GR-D370U I bought it brand new back in 2006 and had no issues filming 1000 and more hours from it. Still has the original battery and i bought a extra battery at the time of purchase and used both about the same. The extra battery has weakened out a few years ago and the original still doing good with a slight difference.
That's awesome! I'm going to try this one out at a school band concert this week and see how it does.
Excellent video in outdoor daylight and average in indoor with good lighting conditions. Sound is pretty good with low distortion in high sound level environment. But my newer 2013 JVC HD Enverio is my best choice. For the budget individuals.
Nice video.
I wonder if you can make a video about converting tapes from the JVC through Elgato video capture. I’m having an issue with hooking the camera to my laptop. Can’t seem to get the proper cables.
Thanks for any help.
You can also use a memory card so you don't really have to keep switching out tapes
Where does the memory card go?
what if this camera is not accepting any tape?
Damn now I feel like a grandpa too.
Hello, I know it's an old video but I was wondering if you have still have this camera. I can't seem to find one in working condition. I'm looking at transferring all of my old tapes to my computer.
I don’t, eBay has many MiniDV cams for sale.
@@databits Thanks for the response
Does the camera come with a removable battery?
If so, can such battery be recharged?
Yes and yes
@@databits thank you!
Bought one of these today at the local Goodwill for $2.16. :D
Hey its my mini dv camera!
I still have it
I miss 4:3 and want to go back to using a minidv camcorder but I don't want to hate myself 10 years from now having all my footage in a dated format. Idk what to do. Widescreen just doesn't feel proper for home movies.
Well you can buy a camcorder and if it has a 16:9 option (squeezing the widescreen image to the 4:3 size for whichever tapes you use) And you can restretch the video digitally to 16:9 on software. :) I personally use both 4:3 and 16:9 on my camcorders (one Vhs-C and 8mm). Depends on the mood and weather. :)
Plus In addition I burn my tapes to VHS because I can and I will. :D Love living today and tomorrow with the technology I was born around. ^_^ Don't hate yourself because you want a camcorder that's 4:3, it's kind of cooler than a $4 camcorder app that's just a click on anyone's phone. :P
does anyone know where i can find a charger for this camera?
I bought one online
lol this is not from 2001 back then digital 8 was out must be from 2006
mine is gr-350-u and its 32x, grandpa is 25x
I need to find one of these JVC GR-D250U MiniDV camcorders with the charger that I can hook up to my computer because I have like 22 or more tapes I need to transfer so if anyone knows where I could find one id appreciate it
Start with ebay
Hi! where you able to do it?
Welp mines are coming in the mail I got a vhs Panasonic omnimovie Full sized vhs pv-500 it's really good but I don't know if I can find the charging parts for it
Let me know if you need any advice using the camera. I watched your video about how to know if a Vhs tape was used.
@@databits yeah I'm getting mines in the mail but I just can't find the charging stuff and that's it I need the ac adaptor and the battery pack charging connector and that's it
I just don't know where to find the charging connector.
Thanks I have learned something
Where are they sold?
A fridge? Aw man, my Sony Digital 8 HandyCam doesn't have a fridge, only an icebox. Do you know how hard it is to find block ice these days?
I know, right? haha
HEY THERE, DO U KNOW WHERE CAN I BUY BATTERY FOR THIS CAMCORDER?
Ebay
How to charge it?
I have this camcorder and forgot how to user it. This would have been better if you showed HOW to zoom in and HOW to hook it up to the computer. But it was helpful. Thanks.
Debbie Stevens Well Debbie, it might have been better for YOU if I had showed HOW. Perhaps someone else on RUclips has done so?
Anyone know why the sound on these JVCs was so bad? Sounds like a tiny annoying psychedelic echo chamber.
how to delete videos on it???
You can only tape over videos not deleted them
