The built-in Progressive scan converter enables the signal display as a progressively scanned image - with progressive scanning, the horizontal scan lines that are often visible in ordinary television are virtually undetectable. The 2 Tuner Split Screen feature lets you view two programs at once by dividing the screen down the middle.I bought my Panasonic NV-GS11 video camera from eBay and for the cost, it seemed perfect. I liked the feel of the camera, it's simplicity of use, until I tried to transfer my movie to a PC and that's when the trouble started!
Normally, when you connect a camera using the USB connection, your PC recognises the device and you can use it straight away. I had no end of problems getting the PC to do this and I thought the driver was at fault. The answer, in hindsight, is that in the menu there are 2 items for the USB function, "web camera" and "DV Studio" - the software for acquiring still photos from the camera.
Choose "web camera", connect your camera to the PC via the USB connection and switch on the camera using the Playback mode. Check "My Computer" and there should be a video camera icon with "USB Video Device" beside it. Double click onto this icon will open up a page, where if you start your movie from the camera, you can see the results on the PC screen. Unfortunately, there's nowhere on this page where you can save the movie itself.
I thought DV Studio would be the answer but that didn't produce the result I wanted. (You have to go back to the camera menu and change the USB Function to DV Studio) While this will allow you to acquire individual still photos from the movie, you still can't save the movie. I also tried playing the movie through Windows Media Player, but there wasn't a function to do this.
I searched with Google and found the answer. Many people had the same issue but there didn't seem to any answers. Eventually, I found one reply on a forum way down the page which provided the solution.
Download Windows Movie Maker from the Microsoft page. This is for Windows XP:-
http://www.download.com/Windows-Movie-Maker-Windows-XP-/3000-13631_4-10165075.html
Open Movie Maker and you will see " Capture from video device" This allows you to save your movie into a directory of your choice and later burn the movie onto a CD using your favourite software.
I hope this is of some help to you all with the same problem I had. If you need any further assistance, drop me an email to brian.parkin@optusnet.com.au.
