Gk,
Interesting, you are the second person who had posted an issue with a
Panasonic NV-GS in the last 12 hours or so.

I have a Panasonic NV-GS-35 and I am interested in all the info I can get,
because I don't know how to do everything yet.

However, I can pass on what info I do have.

As I suggested to the previous poster, have you tried Panasonic MotionDV
STUDIO LE for DV
which should have been supplied on a CD with the video camera. On my PC it
installed as "C:\Program Files\Panasonic\MotionDV STUDIO LE for
DV\MotionDVSTUDIO.exe". The entire installation on this folder is about
100MB.

It captures quite OK, although I do not have firewire which I have bren
advised will improve the capture.
