I have a Panasonic digital video camera. I don't know how to edit the file. My computer doesn't open the VRO files. Is there a free conversion program available. It's for a project that I have due tomorrow. I'm desperate! *sob*

  1. You are using a DVD based camcorder.

    If your computer has a drawer loading DVD optical drive, you can rip the DVD... You will need ISOBuster and HandBrake.

    If your computer has a slot loading DVD optical drive, DO NOT put a minidisc in there - you will break the drive and scratch the disc. You will need to get an analog/digital bridge (Pinnacle Dazzle if you only have USB; Canopus is you have firewire) and use the AV cable that came with the camcorder. This option will not resolve the problem in time for your project.

    If you just got the camera, take it back for a refund and replace it with either a miniDV tape based camcorder or hard drive based camcorder.

    Even if you get the video off that DVD and into your computer, the quality will be bad. This is the camcorder's fault - not your computer. DVD based camcorders were a good idea - but the implementation was terrible. They should never have been released for sale.
