I removed the SD card from camera and took a still pic and a video, both show up on the playback (still without card), so the problem is my computer can't see video format from Lumix, going back to your previous question, I am trying to install PhotofunStudio 8.1 from the Pana CD but it hangs up there. What other program can I use to read the Pana video on SD card?

Do the stills show up in "My Computer"? If so, can you drag&drop to your computer's hard drive? Do the videos show up?Do the stills show up in "My Computer"? If so, can you drag&drop to your computer's hard drive? Do the videos show up?
If you just want to get the pictures and videos from your SD card, try using a card reader. Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures and videos from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files.If you just want to get the pictures and videos from your SD card, try using a card reader.

Neither previous video or recently taken still photo+video from built in memory shows up in "my computer". I will try using a card reader late and let you know.

Re: How to download video from the built in memory of...
Remove the SD card before connecting the camera to the computer. With the card installed, the computer will only show the videos and photos on the card.

The best way to download pictures and videos from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries. Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures and videos from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files.

What type of software are you looking for? I currently use picasa for mac which is free, it allows you to organise your photos and gives you some editing facilities. Hope this helps.
This should help
Press [ menu set] to display the [PLAY] mode
menu and select the item to set.
You can copy recorded picture data from
the built-in memory to a card or vice versa.
1 Press up/down to select the copy
destination: (in to card) and then press
[MENU/SET].
First, determine if any of the pics on the internal memory are important...if so, download them first. Then, with no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. Then, if the memory card contains any important pics, download them using a card reader if necessary. Then, insert the card into the camera and do the "format" thing again. Now, you should be ok.
I don't have a solution to the first part of your dilemma (why it won't playback) but I do have a solution for deleting the file. On your camera are "hidden" file folders. When you connect your camera to your computer, you probably only see two folders (that's all I see for my DMC-LZ8). But there are more, and your undeletable picture/video is in one of these folders. Find the folder and you'll find the file. Delete it from your camera using the computer to do the command. Problem solved. Okay, so how do you find the hidden folders? I have a Mac, so my process was this: 1) Connect camera to computer; 2) Select/open camera icon (looks like "volume disk"); 3) From top Finder bar, select File then Find; 4) Select the camera volume to limit your search to the camera (not HD or other external hard drives you may have connected to your computer); 5) Select "Kind" and in the next dropdown button "Folders". Voila. Happy searching. My hidden "undeletable" video files were in a folder called "100_PANA". I selected them then moved them to the Trash. Be sure to eject your camera properly (don't just turn it off or disconnect it).
Good luck. I hope this helps.
PS - My theory is that this occurred after an upload to my computer got unexpectedly disconnected before everything finished loading or else the camera got disconnected from the computer incorrectly even if the upload had already finished (see above comment to eject camera properly). In either case, the blank/black screen, unviewable but "there" on the camera taking up memory photos/videos problem happened to me, too. The above actions resolved it for me.
Panasonic use .MOV Apple Quick Time format for it movie clips. Win Media won't play them. Does your computer prompt you for what program to use to play unknown file?
Thanks but still not. Computer recognizes the Lumix but not any contents (DCIM empty)
What program(s) are you using to look at the camera's memory?

Do the stills show up in "My Computer"? If so, can you drag&drop to your computer's hard drive? Do the videos show up?
