Hello everyone,
Brand new on the forum, I'm reaching out to you because I'm desperate to find a solution.
My old computer finally died, so I replaced it with a new computer with Windows 8.
I am now unable to get my Panasonic NV-GS75 to be recognized by my HP Pavilion 23 running Windows 8. To make matters worse, I can't find my installation CD. I reached out to Panasonic France for a solution, and they replied that they don't have a solution (in short, thanks a lot) thank you Mr. Panasonic.
So here is my problem! When I connect my camcorder to the computer via USB (I don't have another solution), the computer makes a sound to let me know that "it sees it," but it doesn't appear anywhere and thus is not recognized, so I can no longer transfer my films!
If there is a solution, I would be grateful! Thank you all for taking 5 minutes of your time to consider my problem, and a big thank you in advance to everyone who can help me.
Have a good day everyone, best regards, Pierre.

Hello, I often copy a summary on the forum that answers this recurring question
The extreme solution of the acquisition box in converting degrades the original quality
Editing for cassette
The initial request: "I recorded a mini DV or DVCAM cassette and I'm looking to transfer the video from the camcorder to my computer (PC or MAC) for editing. How do I set up the computer for capturing the video to a hard drive?"
- 1. Prerequisite. The computer must be equipped with a firewire connector (or ilink or IEEE1394 or DV, it's the same thing) *. Two things are possible. Either the computer has one and everything is fine, or it doesn't have one and in that case, a connector must be added to the computer. Most recent quality motherboards in PCs always have at least one. However, if necessary, installing one is actually easy to do and doesn't cost much (10 to 20 €). You open the case and insert the card equipped with a firewire connector into one of the free PCI slots on the motherboard.
For a laptop lacking firewire, buy an adapter for the express card port (pcmcia), the small slot on the side of the laptop protected by a dummy card
(Firewire-expresscard adapter available online)
Attention: do not use the USB cable provided with the device to capture the video to the computer. The USB connection should only be used for transferring photos or low-definition video. To achieve good definition, without loss, only firewire connectors (or ilink or IEEE1394 or DV) should be used.
- 2. Connect the camcorder to the computer with the appropriate firewire cable. Depending on the case, this cable will be a 4/4 or a 6/4, meaning it has a connector that fits on one side with the camcorder and on the other with the computer (the camcorder equipped with DV IN uses the same DV connector to transfer videos (OUT) and receive them (IN)).
- 3. The computer recognizes the camcorder when it is connected or when switched to VCR mode. At this point, what to respond to the Windows prompt on PC? Answer: nothing. Why? Because sometimes the software needs to be configured the first time it is used. Therefore, if this has not already been done, open a video editing software such as Windows Live Movie Maker present on Windows or downloadable, or iMovie on Mac and find its capture interface. If the capture software has not been configured yet or has previously been used for capturing via USB connectors, it needs to be set up for capturing in DV or HDV. The correct settings for Europe, with a DV camcorder in PAL, are: DV PAL, 720 X 576, 25 frames
And for HDV 1440, 1920x 1080
- 4. Then, either start the capture and let the computer transfer the captured file to a directory set by default, or prefer to make other settings to send the video to a hard drive different from the one provided by the OS (Windows XP on PC). In all cases, you are now able to control the video capture from the camcorder. You can further refine the settings (capture the tape in one go, in segments, or perform a rough cut with scene detection). Avoid capturing in low definition, as today the hard drives are large enough that there is no need to redo the work and recapture in full definition
- 5. Finally, you can start editing on the computer. Open the editing interface, transfer the captured sequences from the bin or hard drive to the source window or directly to the timeline and then manipulate them as desired (non-linear) according to your imagination and project. In the end, you can make a DV master of your edit by sending your copy back to a DV tape in the camcorder, using the same DV connector used during capture. Only after taking the precaution to save the edit do I recommend proceeding to authoring, a step prior to burning the video onto a DVD for playback on a standalone DVD player

Thank you very much Glandu,
Indeed, it is clear and explicit. Now I just need to see if I can install a
FireWire connector (or iLink or IEEE1394 or DV) on my all-in-one HP Pavilion 23.
In any case, thank you for this quick, clear, and precise response!

Hello,
Same problem as many but I just RESOLVED it!
A big thank you to Renaud October 19, 2012 who proposed step 1 to solve the .bat file issue.
Copy the content of MDVS600ELE_Setup.bat into a notepad file and save it in the directory where the other 8 files are. Then change the extension of the file MDVS600ELE_Setup.txt to .bat and double click on it to run, and there... it works and creates the MDVS600ELE_Setup.exe file. We double click on this new file and Motion DV... starts..
Step 2: After many attempts with various cables, you need to connect your CAMCORDER with a STANDARD USB cable (like for a camera) BUT YOU MUST PLUG IT INTO the small USB PORT LOCATED BEHIND THE FLEXIBLE COVER WHERE THE FEMALE JACK FOR VIDEO OUT and/or AUDIO is located for example, to connect to a TV. Connect to the computer, turn on the camcorder in VIDEO PLAYBACK mode and there, the miracle happens, the device is recognized and the software continues to install!
I'm off and running!!!!! Your turn!
