If you can't find one on amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-VDRM30-DVD-Digital-Camcorder/dp/B00008RUET shows 3 used at 200 bucks) THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE!!!
Go get ISOBUSTER to get the files off the media without finalizing.
If that fails and you can't bring yourself to buy an used unit, there's always http://www.drivesavers.com

I have a bunch of dvds taken on the above palmcorder that were never finalized. Now I have the common error message 2881 and sent the palmcorder to Panasonic to be fixed for the tune of $480. I was willing to pay it because I've been told that you have to finalize the dvds on the unit that they were recorded on. I just called the Panasonic repair people who have had the unit for three months and was told they can't get the parts to fix it and will send it back.
So, I'm desperately seeking any help that anyone can offer as to how I can get access to the dvds. Is there a service out there that someone knows about? Anything. They're of my kids over the last five years and it's killing me to think I have lost them.
Thanks.
