Editing someone else's shoot

Good day everyone,

I'm faced with a potential problem that hopefully someone has experienced and can offer some advice.

I'm editing a shoot someone else did with a JVC GR-HD1 with Vegas 8 this weekend. I won't get the tape until Friday and I've been told, but haven't found any documentation to support, that the only way to import this footage to Vegas is to use the a GR-HD1 and nothing else.

Is this true? (((desperately hoping it's not)))

Thanks in advance for anything you can offer.

Mattie
 
Other JVC cameras shooting HDV might be able to read it. But most decks cannot from what I understand. JVC especially I think I've heard tends to use a very proprietary format.
 
I've also had problem with reading JVC tapes, and had to use the same model JVC camera to dump the footage.
