You can't. SD card is only to take images in this camera.

I don't think so. I just got mine and read the instruction book backward and forward. Recording video on your SD card is not an option on this model, just taking pictures.

Yes, the XP driver would not work with Vista. No solution on the Panasonic website.

try throwing it away, it might cost you more to fix than replace, buy a sony next time

You could get it repaired at an authorised Panasonic repair shop. Not the sort of repair a layman can undertake.

No you can't get a free replacement. Batteries degrade with use and age, and bad storage makes them fail quicker.
