I would like to convert my videos taken from my Panasonic NV-DS60 to computer/DVD. How can that be done. Thanks, Lyndall

I'm sorry for the difficulties you're experiencing in transferring images from the Camera to the computer. Unfortunately, the Camcorder does not have the USB interface to connect it to your new computer. However, it has the DV OUTPUT. I understand that your computer does not have the DV input to transfer the videos. In that case, you may purchase a DV capture card to resolve the issue.

The DV capture card is also known as firewire/1394/i.LINK capture card. The DV Capture card doesn't cost much. Please click hear to view few DV capture cards.
Please follow the steps to transfer video to a computer using an i.LINK connection (IEEE 1394/DV/direwire).

IMPORTANT: Video capture software and a compatible video capture card must be installed on the computer. Depending on the computer manufacturer, various video capture cards and software (Adobe Premiere, Roxio Video Wave, Microsoft Windows Movie Maker, etc.) may be available or already installed on your computer. If necessary, contact the manufacturer of your computer for further information.

NOTE: Many Sony VAIO computers are bundled with Sony DVgate Motion or DVgate Plus software for video capturing. Some VAIO computers also include Click To DVD software that will allow video capture to the computer hard drive or directly to a DVD.

1. Connect an i.LINK cable (also known as IEEE 1394) to the i.LINK port on the digital camcorder.

1. Connect the other end of the i.LINK cable to the computer.

1. Turn on the digital camcorder by moving the POWER switch to ON/Playback mode.
2. Cue the camcorder tape to the beginning of the video footage.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Start the video capture software on the computer.
5. Begin playing the recorded video in the camcorder.
6. Begin importing the video with the capture software.

Hi, well it is a rather simple matter to stream the Video from the camera to a PC, then using any good Digital Video Recorder, record the data stream from the camera, to the PC, in a suitable format and CODEC, then one can do whatever one wishes.
You need a cable between the Camera and PC, usually either a Firewire or USB, you need a Driver installed on the PC, you need the DVR, software.
Alternatively, too,one can use a USB Video/Audio Input Dongle, and connect up via, the Component,. or Composite of SHVS formats and again use a DVR to record, basically set it all up, press "Play" on camera, and "Record" on the PC and it will record the streamed data again one can store in any Format wished, and also an CODEC.
below is a link for your user manual, in here it also shows you what and how to do what you want, below that is a copy of a service manual, for future reference should you have any problems later on.
