Computer not recognising camera?

Question

I have a Panasonic NV-GS11 Mini-DV video camera. I did not get a driver with it. Was wondering if there's a program I can get that will make the computer recognise it? Or do I have to get a driver disc from somewhere?

Answer 1

You don't need another driver to capture the video - the firewire driver is supplied with the OS.  If your PC hasn't already got one you'll need to install a firewire card. They're cheap, easy to install and readily available. You'll also need a firewire cable.
