How can I get video (Panasonic PV-GS250) onto my computer?

Question

The DV cable provided does not fit (a little too big for the slot), and the video won't "capture" in the Muvee program I have, though it does show up on the screen when I use a standard camera-computer USB connection. Muvee people haven't responded.

Answer 1

Your  dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder.
