How to transfer my tapes from my nv-ds15b

SOURCE: Transfer of video from Panasonic NV-GS50 tape to computer

You will need a firewire card in your PC and firewire cable to connect your camera to the PC. you will also need a software like Windows movie maker which can help you to transfer videos from your camera to the PC.

I have a zr300. You need a firewire connection and a firewire cable to download the contents of your minidv tape for burning. You can not do that with a usb cable. USB cable can only download photos and videos from your memory card not from the tape.

SOURCE: How do I transfer hi 8 tapes to DVD without the working camcorder

Greetings jamhere,

I have the same issue myself with my gillion of family tapes and my Hi8 unit broken! The only remedy I have found is to either invest in a new lower price HI8 unit, rent a unit and get my transfers done, or pay to have the old tapes put on dvd professionally. None of these options are too appealing to me, but really seem to be the only options available. If only HI8 had an adapter like VHS-C! I personally would look on some of the online resellers to see if you can obtain a unit that is lower priced to meet your needs. Investing overall in a Hi8 as your only camcorder is not advised, due to it being almost obsolete technology.

I hope this helps.

Thank you,

Dorothy

Hi Dave if you go to http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/220239/index.html#anker_220239 you should be able to select your product manual and download it there. As far as the accessory pack goes, you may have to contact Panasonic
