Need help in setting up old camcorder in Windows 7

[holzauge]

Got a Panasonic NV GS11GK (uit die oude d00s) camcorder gratis , verniet , mahala.

only problem is that no Win 7 software exists - I can use firewire to transfer footage from camcorder (mini dv) to computer (this is what prev owner did with Win XP)

I can get a pcmcia - firewire converter , however what software to use to transfer footage from camcorder onto PC.

i thought that this forum would be most appropriate one to post my predicament - thanks

What? They still haven't worked out plug&play? :wtf:

On XP it used to be Microsoft Movie Maker. No clue what Vista and Win 7 uses. Probably Media Center or something. Just plug it in and see what Auto Play offers you.
