Device manager sees camera but says no drivers are installed. Panasonic support says no drivers are needed. Connected via a EEEE1394 firewire cable. PC recognizes something is connected because it makes a beep when i turn on the video camera. Thought maybe i needed to download a unibrian driver (getting info from device manager) but after downloading it tells me all is up to date and it won't install.

Hi There, You need to use your firewire cable from the camera to the computer. You need to have a large or seperate hard drive to accomadate the video. You need to have editing software, and not the ones that came with your computer, but something like Pinnacle Studio 09 which is pretty easy to use. About $149.00 USD.
Hope this helped. mr cicmo
The driver for Win 200 will work fine under XP. Vista of course is another monster all together.
What I would suggest under Vista is the following.
Use the same Win2000 Drivers...
Extract the drivers to a folder.
Plug the camera into the USB port and Vista will detect it. At this point (if you are really lucky) Vista will have drivers in it's catalogue and install them.
If it does not have them it will pop up a box and ask what you want to do.
Choose select the driver from a list.
When the window pops up, choose Have Disk and browse to the folder you extracted the files into.
Pick the right INF file and then select OK.
It will then begin to try and install the drivers.
Follow any other prompts you see, and make sure to read each one clearly.
I called Panasonic directly today & asked about the Vista driver
for the GS31. No such driver exists, but they are trying to develop a
driver specifically for Vista users of this camcorder. Finally the
mystery is correctly answered & solved for us Vista owners!
woooohooo !
