I looked it up, and that seems to be a pretty rare camera, at least in the U.S...

Anyway, I did learn that it has firewire. You must have a firewire card to get the video onto your computer (see earlier posts).

my JVC-GRDVX707 is a miniDV. I dont have a firewire/IEEE-1394, when i connect USB there are no video files on my SD card but i dont know how to transfer recorded video from my dv tapes to the PC. I have a firewire card and Media centre i need some help y'all???

USB is not for DV transfer. There is a separate plug on the side of the camera which plugs into your computers firewire port (and you said you have one). Once again, USB has nothing to do with Firewire.

There should be a mini-firewire port on the camera. You would need a cable that is appropriate for this application, and then it sounds like you should be fine.

thanks i found a port on the side called DV and one called S-Video. so if i use a firewire into that DV port it will work. so i need to get my hands on a Firewire cable, because i do have a firewire card. Thanks. But i dont know how to use the S-Video thing?

The S-Video is another form of video transfer, but I'd stick with the DV (firewire) output. Cable should be around $20, if memory serves...
