Pv-gs29 digital video camera?

Question

can i upload videos onto my computer with it?

Answer 1

The Panasonic PV-GS39 camcorder is just like any other miniDV tape based camcorder... it uses the DV port (this is a 4-pin) and connects to the firewire port (not USB) of your computer. If you don't have a firewire port, install one. The port installed on the computer will be most likely 6-pin... but can be 4-pin. It depends what you have or decide to install. You need firewire400 (Also known as i.Link or IEEE1394a) - firewire800 will not work.

According to your camcorder's manual

http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/sto...

Refer to page 67, "Connection to a Personal Computer" - the section on connecting with a DV cable. Note that the DV cable (Firewire, IEEE1394a, i.Link - all the same thing) indicates the cable is optional - that means it did not come in the box and you need to buy it separately. USB will not work.
