Just bought a Panasonic GS27. It was a spur of the moment purchase.
I needed an entry level Cam that could 1) Shoot some videos of the upcomming birth of my first child. 2) be used as a web cam for Skype.
The sales person at Dixons mentioned that this would be the best option (I should have know better than to trust them).
When I got home I realized that this cam comes with absolutely no software. No drivers, no apps. Nothing! To my frustration Skype does not seem to recognise it. Furthermore, all the other video editing software packages that I've downloaded don't seem to recognise it.
I'm running Windows XPSP2, and the most recent DirectX. Furthermore, when I find the USB DV player in "My Computer" it seems to work, albeit without sound.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Help please!
If I can't resove these issues quickly I will have to return the cam.
Thanks,
