Use your old PC if your new one isn't supported.

Did you already go to www.panasonic.com to see if they have newer software for this camera?

Or some camera's (but not all) get a driveletter in Windows Explorer if you connect them, so you can use that to copy your photo's off.

Without details on what camcorder it exactly is, it's impossible to give more than this general remarks.

Which Panasonic camcorder...
Jan 22, 2011 10:20PM PST

and which computer?

I think these are the "details" kees b is looking for.

If the camcorder is miniDV tape based, then the computer needs to have a firewire port to connect a firewire port to the camcorder's DV port. USB will not work - and USB-to-firewire cable/converter/adapter things don't work.

It you want only the stills, we don't know if your camcorder captures stills to digital tape... in which case you still need firewire.
