I have a similar JVC camcorder with hard drive and I haven't had that problem. Sort of obvious stuff, but are you sure your HDD has enough room? And that it's not set to record to a Micro SD disc, if it has that option? It takes still pictures OK. They are a lot smaller than HD video, so if you take a lot, does it seem to quit with those also?

Sorry, not much else I can think of. Maybe others here have some ideas. If not, maybe a HDD problem.

And welcome to our forums.

hi Redwudz

there`s plenty of space on the hard drive and i cant find an option to record to the SD card ,if it is a hard disk problem are they just a 2 1/2 inch drive that can be changed .
It maybe the case that i have to send it in for repair
