Video Software help please!
My son has a Panasonic NV-GS60 digi camcorder but has lost the software disc that came with the camera (if there was one!). How do i transfer whats on
the camera onto the PC? I have a USB cable but no software. Would MS movie maker work? If not what would you recommend?
Many thanks in advance.

when you plug it into USB does the cam show as a external hard disc? if it does, drag and drop should work ok, and windows movie maker should be ok

I have not plugged it in yet as i only just found the usb cable.
The video is on digi video tape so if it does show as a new drive how do you get the info onto the pc? Do you just press the play button?
Sorry for the numpty questions.

Dont have that cam, but usually you can mostly always get the disc/software free from the manafacturers site. Though searching and finding is not too
easy.

The editing software, Movie maker should do it, should be able to control the camera. It should be able to play, fast fwd etc, until you get to the
right bit and then record - or you just record the lot and then split it etc in the software.

Geoffs right,
you can use movie maker to record the video from the camcorder.
I have done it that way loads of times with various peoples cameras!

Yup. Geoff is right 
Programs like Movie Makers, VideoStudio or Premiere will let you control the digital tape. You don't normally need the programs supplied on
CD/DVD.....
