Can you capture video from the Panasonic PV-L453 to your computer?

Check the tape to see if it has a rolled edge on the bottom this is where where the sound is recorded or the tape path may need a cleaning.

To transder minDV content to your computer, you will need a capture card. It is available in a decent camera/studio materials shop.

try this driver

Okay then let's start with that. Download the drivers from:

http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support/Cameras-Camcorders/Camcorders/MiniDV-Camcorders/Drivers-Downloads/model.PV-GS39.D#ts

Install the drivers and you should be good to go! Let me know if you're having any problems after that.

ok i hope you have a windows computer or at least you somehow got windows movie maker on a mac. go to capture video in windows movie maker and then capture it!

usually tv capture cards can help you .... just check for a external TV tuner card with capture facility

You shouldn't. The PV-DV203 means it is one of Panasonic's MiniDV, digital cancorders. You should only need the cable(s) supplied with the camera, and either a FireWire or USB port available on your computer. Windows Movie Maker should be able to download the video and allow you to edit it.

perhaps it has to do with the SP and LP settings, I know certain video editing programs won't capture video recored in LP.
