Hi, thanks to all of you for your replies. I will try them asap.
About the Panasonic MotionDV program, unfortunatelly I can't find the
CD-s that we get with the camera.
I checked also the Panasonic web page but I can't find any driver
downloads... you can get the "Titles" but nothing else.... if anybody
knows where to download the drivers PLEASE let me know. Last year we
installed the camera drivers in my sister's pc and now that we've got
our PC we'd like to use this one. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
We (my wife and I) have recently bought a Panasonic GS-35 so my
experience
may help you.
You a quite correct that you can only get the still pictures on the
card
when using the PC setting on the video camera.
For video download, you need the program Panasonic MotionDV STUDIO LE
for DV
which should have been supplied on a CD with the video camera. On my
PC it
installed as "C:\Program Files\Panasonic\MotionDV STUDIO LE for
DV\MotionDVSTUDIO.exe". The entire installation on this folder is
about
100MB.
To use the program to download the video, set the camera to video
replay,
position at the beginning of the tape, connect via USB2 and start the
program. Use Editing Assistant which will guide you through the
steps.
The program creates files in .avi format. For 60 minutes of tape, you
need
approx. 13.3 GB (18 minutes ~= 4GB). You will then need to output the
file
in MPEG1 format, an operation that takes about 8-9 hours for 60
minutes.
(Unless of course you are willing to work with the .avi format - I am
told
it is better, but uses a lot of disk space.)
Note that firewire is *not* needed for this operation, although it
may work
better. (This is something I cannot test, since I don't have it.) I
read
this advice and was dismayed to think I would have to invest in
another
card, etc, on the PC. However, USB2 certainly works quite O.K. with
MotionDV
STUDIO.
I don't know what to suggest if you can't find the program on
C:\Program
Files\Panasonic\ and you can't find the CD. Perhaps check with your
dealer
and/or the Panasonic Website (www.panasonic.com in North America). I
just
had a quick look at this site and unfortunately I can't find anything
about
software downloads.
Good luck and hope it goes O.K.,
Trevor L.

Hi, we bought a Video Camea last year, its a Panasonic NV-GS 50.
When I installed the drivers, I captured the photos that we recorded
on the card and I didn't have any problems. Now I'm trying to
capture a video from my panasonic camera to windows movie maker (the
camera is connected to my computer via a USB cable), the video is
saved on tape and I can't see it. I mean I can see it directly from
the video camera, its there, but I can't see it from my PC. The
only thing that I can see via PC are the photos saved in the card.
Unfortunally I can't find the cd-s with the drivers so I don't know
if I missed something when I did the installation last year or
what.... can anybody help please??
