I have Everio GZ-MG 2100. Software manual was a load of rubbish especially as mine was in French and I am English. I use Magix Movie Edit Pro, but I have also figured out how to do it in supplied software. Hope this helps. I have also found that if MOD extension was changed to mpg then there is no sound in Power Director. Changing MOD to mpg works in most other programs.
Using Power Director:
1. Copy MOD file from camera to chosen directory on Hard drive.
2. Import MOD file - File, Import Media files. (MOD not listed in files of type drop down box but just chose file anyway)
3. Edit project then save project as pds file.
4. You can then either produce movie in Power Director by chosing following:
Disk if required to play in DVD.
File mpeg2 if need to open in other authoring program
Streaming if needed for Internet
Everio if need to play back on Camera (MOD)
OR
Open saved project in Cyberlink Producer.
At start up screen select disk format (I chose SVCD & CDRW but your choice might be different)
At next screen Import Video files.
Chose previously saved *.pds file.
Edit SVCD structure as required, then at next screen chose burn options.
Hope this helps. I have Power Director NE Express 3.20.2225 PDX-DVD and have no problem with sound doing it this way.
