9 Things You Didn't Know About the VHS ' Video 2 DVD ...

..

MPEG4 motion video can be played back with Windows Media Player 6.4 or later. MPEG2 cannot be played back in Windows Media Player. Files created with our D-snap Video Cameras are designed for playback with the included MediaStage software and our DMR-E100H DVD Recorders.

Just put the finalised DVD into your computer's DVD drive.

Have you looked in the manual for a solution ?

Use a firewire IEEE 1394 cable kit and appropriate software too transfer to PC. You will need a 1. Firewire cable 2. Firewire port on PC/Laptop as well. 3. Recent OS that supports firewire. 4. Appropriate image/video editing software.

Normally the selection is automatic for playback but is to be set when you are recording. So if the menu is selected to switch speed ONLY in the recording mode it can be set to any of these speeds.

Your camcorder gives an audio and a video signal It is not a tv signal.You need an AV Card on your PC.

Although this post is rather old, I can tell you that the mini 4-pin firewire port is the bane of my existence. The 6-pin port is made rather sturdy with heavily shielded cable. The 4-pin uses the same heavy cable, but does not have the strength to support the cable, if it happens to droop. This causes pins to get slightly bent out of alignment, and upon re-insertion, you can get crushed pins if you are not VERY careful. Examine both your cable end and the port on your camera/deck - you will probably find one or more of the pins have been pushed back. Pray that it's the cable that's dead, and not the port in your camera/deck. I have a Canon XL1 and a Sony DSR-40 with the same problem - crushed pin in the unit's port. I'll have to spend $$$ to get these ports replaced.

I had the same problem. You have to have a computer with a firewire port and use a firewire.

Make you finalized the video before you took it our of the camera. Finalizing the DVD will work on other devices otherwise your DVD disk will not be recognized until you finalize it.

Use the RCA cables that come with the Palmcorder to connect the Palmcorder from "A/V out" to "A/V in" on the TV.

I found this on another site, but it WORKED great for me, and was a VERY easy fix, so I suggest everyone to try it before you go disassembling your camera. I know this sounds very stupid, but it actually somehow fixed my problem, so everyone should give it a go:

1) Turn the camera on.

2) When the dew icon is displayed, take off the battery and then hit/smack the spot on the camera where the battery goes a couple of times (not overly hard, but with some force).

3) Put the battery back and see if it's fixed. If it isn't, repeat the whole procedure. It took me about four tries but now miraculously my camera seems to be working, for the first time in about 3-4 years!!!

NOTE: I don't know what the exact "fixing" spot is, so I just hitted different places of the battery spot (both the upper and lower region). Take it easy first and don't hit too hard, see if it works and try again putting more force if necessary. I still can't believe this solved the problem, wish I'd tried it back when the problem first occured!

NOTE #2: I think this fix will probably also work on some other Panasonic cameras with the same dew problem - in fact, I think the guy who originally came up with this solution actually had a different camera model than I do.. I know it's a late reply, but hopefully this helps at least someone!

The SV-AV100 and the SV-AV50 come with an A/V cradle that allows you to connect to external devices for recording and playback. The SV-AS10 and SV-AV25 are not equipped for this operation.

In short, many people have firewire issues such as missing motherboard drivers, or dead firewire ports. You have to show it working on some machine before you know to try to fix your machine. Did you try Movie Maker?

no recording on the camcorder that vhs camcorder don't have the recording capability to its own recording part , no video and audio inputs installed regards please don't forget to rate thx

The information that you need is located at http://www.servicemanuals.net for $24.00 US. Good luck.

Try a different tape. The tape itself may be bad.

Pal and NTSC are different formats. If you live in Canada, you?re TV most likely supports NTSC and not PAL. If you bought your TV and it said it is multisystem, so you won?t have problems with if, but i am almost sure this is not you case. If you want it for your PC, you will need to get a program to change your videos from PAL to NTSC. What I would recommend you to do is to buy a miltisystem camera; the format transformation isn't the easiest way. Daniel
