Hi, thanks to all of you for your replies. I will try them asap.
About the Panasonic MotionDV program, unfortunatelly I can't find the
CD-s that we get with the camera.
I checked also the Panasonic web page but I can't find any driver
downloads... you can get the "Titles" but nothing else.... if anybody
knows where to download the drivers PLEASE let me know. Last year we
installed the camera drivers in my sister's pc and now that we've got
our PC we'd like to use this one. Thanks a lot.
