JVC Everio camcorders have PC connectivity that enables you to transfer and back up video files on a computer. Transferring the video files clears space on the camcorder's internal hard drive and on the installed memory card, enabling you to record more videos. You have two options for downloading the video files: Everio MediaBrowser 4, which is the software supplied with the camcorder, or Windows Explorer. Both options require a USB connection with your PC.

JVC creates the view and controller part of your web application (you are free to use any model implementation you like).
