How can I play my JVC Mini Dv camer on my fltscreen? I used a USB cable to connect the camera to the TV, but I cannot get it to play on the tv.

Hi, connect the cam and PC using 4 pin firewire cable (not USB cable).
Switch on the cam.
Open Windows Movie Maker and import the video from device.

Most places that sell cameras will probably also sell the cable that allows you to connect your camera to the TV. Depending on your camera, one end of the cable plugs into the camera and the other end probably has the Yellow, Red, White plugs that will plug into your TV.
You might also check the camera company website to see if they sell accessories specific to your camera.

The correct usb cable for your JVC GR-D370 is part number QAM0978001 and it can be ordered at www.partstore.com

Hi Heidi.

Be sure your camera is on when you have connected it to your PC. Then you have to put it in Play mode and rewind the tape if it's a USB cable you connect with. Start Windows Movie Maker and test.

Like most I have searched the web for drivers, preferably free ones. I emailed JVC Australia who responded with tis solution.

The camera has a connection called DV. The DV connection is used with a cable called Firewire.
Firewire is a driver less cable and will allow you to stream you video footage across from the camera to your PC.

USB is used for data transfer and need drivers, you would use this mainly to transfer still images or data files off a HDD camera.
If you use firewire and the DV connection you will stream the footage across to the PC and the PC will capture the footage as it is playing.

The firewire is about $15 and can be purchase from stores such as **** Smith, Bing Lee, Harvey Normans and Tandy. I would suggest that you take a photo of the connections on your PC as there are two types of DV connections. (4pin - 6pin)

this model is not supporting with usb

Use USB data cable which u get with ur cam.Install the panasonic software also packed with cam.And get ur video copied to pc.But this is a slow process because of Movie copied while playing.

connect a tv card on your computer then try because this model is not supporting through usb or dv

your camera has a usb connection : wal - mart has general purpose camera to pc cables ( bring your camera to confirm connector size ) also on ebay can get accessory kit for jvc dv cameras .
