I have a PV-GS180 camcorder. I can't get my OS (Win XP) to recognize the drivers, despite loading the software

Question

I have loaded the software and followed the manual, but I can't capture my video onto my PC. Windows Movie Maker and Adobe Premiere Pro freeze on me. Ulead DVD Movie Factory does not recognize the driver - errror message - Failed to connect to driver: Unknown -- MSDV
I am very frustrated. Help please. :) Panasonic website does not help.

Answer 1

Try uninstalling the drivers and try it. I have a canon gl2, and when I plugged it in, it worked fine, and I didnt even have a CD. But Ive never used a panasonic cam before so I dont know how it will work, so give it a try. And this is a firewire connection and your camera is in VCR mode right? (Just making sure). Hope this helps!
