DV (Digital Video) is a file format in JVC camcorder videos. It is small in size but with excellent audio/video quality. Mini DV was launched in 1995 after combined efforts by JVC, Sony, and Panasonic. However, JVC mini DVD camcorder videos cannot play on most mobile devices and desktop media players. Therefore, you’ll have to install a JVC video converter on your computer. In this article, you’ll learn about some top JVC camcorders and how to convert their footages to other device-friendly formats.

Over the last century, JVCKENWOOD USA Corporation (JVC) has made its name as one of the best audio and video technology companies. But it’s their high-quality cameras that stand out. JVC cameras are great for both outdoor and indoor shootings. Some impressive JVC Mini DV camcorders include the Everio GZ-MS120A (A/B/R), Everio GZ-MG67OB, Everio GZ-HD40, among others.

All JVC camcorders record videos in MPEG-2, AVCHD, or MPEG-4 AVC/ formats. For that reason, JVC Everio footages can be played or edited using Mac OS X. That’s because MOD and TOD formats are not Mac-supported. So you’ll need to install a JVC video converter for Mac. Without wasting any time, let’s dive into the next part where I’ll show you the best JVC file converter for Mac users.

UniConverter is here to handle all your JVC camcorder video conversion problems. With a few clicks, you’ll convert your JVC mini DV videos to Mac-supported formats such as MP4, MOV, etc. In fact, it supports conversion of more than 150 formats with 100% lossless quality.
