I just got a usb chord that plugs into my PV-DV52D camcorder. when I plug it into my computer in recognizes that something has been plugged in, but it doesn't recognize it as a camcorder. I tried using premiere elements to capture the video, but that doesn't work either. What do I need to do to import the video onto my computer?

USB will only transfer the still pictures to a computer. If you wish to capture video from the tape, you must use a firewire cable.

Macbook pro doesnt recognize the panosonic pv-gs9 when connected with firewire

I take it that your macbook pro has imovie on it. If you open up imovie and plug in your camcorder it should recognise the camcorder and give you access to putting the movie onto your mac. Have a look at http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/ it should help.

Can't get my computer to recognize the device

You may use different USB ports. Make sure your computer USB is v2.0 Computer's Bios and Chipset update could be a possible solution. You may also try Firewire/1394 Connection which is more reliable and faster for video editing and conversion.

Usually in professional use hook up the Camcorder directly to the computer is not very preferred, Using DV converters are more common such as Canopus products as you can find them on www.canopus.com

Video Download Issues

Hi, I had the same problem and found it was an issue with my non- licensed Microsoft XP software. I bought a new copy of XP and the camera was located without issue.

Plug in to the computer...

It sounds like you're plugging the camcorder in  via USB. Your PC is looking for a flash memory card (SD card on the GS300), which is used on that camcoder for still photos only.

If you want to transfer video from the camcorder, you need to use the Firewire port. DV camcorders do not transferr video via USB (some of the "computer" style camcorders, including most flash, DVD and HDD camcorders, can use USB for file transfers).

Mac does not recognize...

Haskel, Have you tried a different USB wire? Constantly remove of the cord can wear down the contacts/something is on the contacts? Check that I'll get back to you if I find anything relevant. Good Luck, Tim
