I just bought a new dig camcorder (Panasonic PV-GS200). I loaded all of the drivers and everything is updated. The problem I have is I hooked up the camcorder to my PC (via USB hub) and XP did the rest. It detected my camcorder but I cannot for the life of me get video. I can get sound, but all I see is a black screen on the CPU.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

BTW, the camcorder is great, but the documentation/support blows!

USB is for transfer of still images - called PhotoShots in Panasonic speak.

You'll need a firewire port and cable for transfer of digital video.

Cari,
I went and bought a firewire cable. Hooked my camcorder to my port and now I owe you lunch! Everything runs like a champ. Thanks!

McDonalds 1/4lb w/cheese and fries will be fine! I'd prefer Red Lobster,but
you just had to fork out for the firewire cable!!!!!

Happy editing!

BTW, why does it work perfectly with W2K and the USB, but not WinXP? I (for kicks) tried it on my OLD PIII w/W2K and it worked with the USB (no firewire on that one). Slow (550), but worked.

I'll mail you a GC.

You may have had special capture software installed on the Win2K PC - well
you must have had since Windows MovieMaker doesn't work on Win2K!
