JVC-HD7 works with Casablanca. I purchased it yesterday but there is a trick that you need to know regarding uploading the clips. If you plan on using it with Casablanca you need to shoot the original clips in 1440 CBR. when you make a play list select the play list but on the joystick don't push down. push the joystick to the right and it will bring up a hidden menu. Then you can follow the next dubbing procedure from there. This info is not in the manual and I had to search all over the internet to find it. If you need any help about this let me know. HOPE THIS HELPS

Thanks for bringing up this topic.

I recently uploaded some Hi8 footage directly into my Renommee with no problem.

I now have a customer with a JVC hard drive consumer level camcorder full of footage for me to edit. I do not know if I can directly load it into my Renommee from her camcorder - it is tapeless with only a hard drive. Any suggestions?

Also she has a small digital camera that has some video footage also, - any one know how to get this footage from a digital camera into Renommee?

My little Sony DCR-HC21 has been my workhorse for uploading via firewire into my Renommee. I shoot with my old SonyVX2K, but dont' use it to upload into Renommee.

Thanks again,

This is an excellent find!!!! Is it not amazing that we have to go through hoops and hurdles to perform a simple task?
It seems that there is always "HIDDEN" methods of pushing buttons twice, powering up and down etc. just to execute a simple procedure like downloading footage.
