I've just bought a JVC GZ-MG330REK camcorder from Ebay. It's my first ever camcorder and I wanted something that was literally point-and-shoot, nothing too complicated.
I shot some test footage tonight, and it recorded fine and played back okay through the LCD viewfinder.
The problems arose when:
1. My Blu-Ray recorder (Panasonic DMR-BWT735) didn't recognise it when connected up via USB. My plan was to copy my footage off the camcorder's hard drive onto the Blu-Ray recorder's hard drive direct, bypassing any complicated PC gubbins.
2. My PC didn't recognise the camcorder either!
I've had a look at the manuals for both the recorder and the camcorder, and both suggest that it's just a question of connecting it up and various menus pop up automatically, which hasn't happened.
What am I doing wrong?
If anyone does reply, please keep your answers as non-technical as possible because I am obviously an idiot!
Thanks very much
