Question about Panasonic PV-GS31 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

Connecting to computer

My computer makes the "connection chime" when I plug in the Panasonic PV-Gs31 thru the firewire (not usb) but the computer will not recognize that anything is connected--I'm hoping to do a direct-to-dvd project using Sonic My DVD--but won't work. Strange thing is, it used to work last time I tried (about 8 months ago). Don't know what I have changed. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have the same problem. When i connet the cam to the computer using a Firewire to USB 2.0 cable, windows vista does not recognize the cam. Any of you have a solution?

I had the same problem, eventually I had to restore my pc from a recovery point and somehow it was fixed along with a bunch of other issues. Somehow you need to be able to flush the USB port. --this is not a solution, just an observation--

You are not alone in this concern. I have the same model which has been used right along and all of a sudden it is not being recognized as a capture device in Windowss Movie Maker. We have tried on four different computers and have downloaded the newest drivers still with no results.

Panasonic DV PV-GS31..My PC (Vista) doesn't find UBS attachment

Hi There, You need to use your firewire cable from the camera to the computer. You need to have a large or seperate hard drive to accomadate the video. You need to have editing software, and not the ones that came with your computer, but something like Pinnacle Studio 09 which is pretty easy to use. About $149.00 USD.
Hope this helped. mr cicmo

Panasonic PV-GX31 DV Camcorder - Need Help!!

I can't find any reference to a PV-GX31 model, BUT if your camcorder is a PV-GS31 MiniDV model, then you need special software for it to show up on your computer screen. Panasonic supply the software to show and edit still shots (through your USB cable). But if you want to show and edit movies, then you need a firewire cable, a firewire connection on your computer to connect it to, and most importantly some editing software. PCs are pretty slack in this area, so you should use a mac!

PV-GS31 often disconnects from vista

I called Panasonic directly today & asked about the Vista driver for the GS31. No such driver exists, but they are trying to develop a driver specifically for Vista users of this camcorder. Finally the mystery is correctly answered & solved for us Vista owners! woooohooo !

The usb is only used for the still pics and for the webcam. You need a DV cable to upload vid.

PV-GS31... can someone help me?

Your logic is correct, UB2 is a little faster. However, as you have discovered, it is not recognized by the software very well. The quick solution is to buy a firewire kit at Amazon or where ever and your problems are over. The harder solution is to find software versatile enough to recognize video from the UB2 port.
