Raking around in my loft the other day I found my old video camera, it still works the batteries are still good, found 2 video tapes with stuff on from 1999 (Panasonic NV-DA1 video Camera)
I did what I did when I had my XP PC, plugged the lead into the front of the camera, then into a USB port, set the camera to play, (I have to plug the camera into the charger, then the camera, the plugs aren't accessible when the battery is on)
The PC tried to update the drivers, but failed, so the PC cant see the camera (It is playing the footage on the camera)
I tried to plug it into the TV, using the video lead ad red and white sound leads, it worked I could see and hear the video
I tried again on the PC, but cant use the S video lead or the red and white plugs, they aren't on the PC, there is a small plug on the front of the camera, (I think its called a firewire) then there is a USB plug on the end of that
I just want to copy the tapes to my PC (in any format)
I know PC's have moved on since Win 95 and XP, but the USB plugs are the same on my Win 7 and Win 10 PC's
Anyone any have any suggestions on what I can do next ?
What other leads do I need to buy ? (if any )
I have uploaded pictures of my camera, sockets, and the leads
