| 257469 | 2004-08-02 04:58:00 | Panasonic GS15 DV Camcorder, WinXP on 2.4GHz P4, Ulead Videostudio6 Hi there Is it possible to use my PC to capture DV from a GS15 camcorder using USB2? I understand USB2 is quick enough to do it without resorting to firewire cards etc, but is the panasonic capable of this and will I get a good result? How do I go about it? USB driver is installed, software provided with camera is useless, and can videostudio capture from USB to avi file? Thanks Gareith |

| 257470 | 2004-08-02 05:25:00 | You will most likely find that the USB port is only used to transfer still images taken with the camera to your PC. The firewire output is used to transfer the digital video to your PC. Yes USB2.0 is fast enough to transfer video but firewire is more commonly used for this purpose. If you check the manual it will soon tell you what the USB connection is used for. | Sb0h (3744) | ||
| 257471 | 2004-08-02 05:29:00 | hmm.....Usb can be used to transfer video,in my experience though it didnt differiuate between usb and usb2,so i had to use firewire to get high resolution capture,usb of any sort restricted it to mpg1. Speeling us ovarateed. |

| 257472 | 2004-08-02 05:42:00 | I suggest you give it a go. Capture into Windows XP 'Movie Maker'. Post again if there are any problems. P. |

| 257473 | 2004-08-05 01:25:00 | Thanks for your help everyone. Turns out it wasn't going to work on the panasonic. Installed a firewire card to sort it all out. Cheers Gareith |
