Answer 1

If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder….

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. Make sure your camera is in playback mode.

If you have a mini dvd camcorder….

You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer 's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (i downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.

Answer 2

Firstly, you should rip the DVD to video file by using the DVD Ripper like Moyea DVD4Web Converter which is downloaded from http://www.flash-video-mx.com.

Then you can upload the converted video file like FLV and MP4 to youtube.com.

It's easy!

Answer 3

You might try giving us the model number.

That looks like a newer model camcorder. I don't see a manual listed on Panasonic's site, but it looks like you can get one here (after registering free at the site):

If you can't find answers in the manual, call Panasonic's tech support.
