Here's my problem and I've been all over the net looking for help.
I have a panasonid video SDR H80, have no idea where the videocam suite disk is, probably in Australia, where I bought the camera.
How can I get the video from the camera to the PC, looked for a free downloads everywhere, found none that work, Kickass has it, but no seeders.
Is there generic video software, or some other program I can use, it's a good little camera.
Thanks for any suggestions. Jim
Are there no external ports for cables ?
I had a similar problem with my wifes video camera.Quote:

I have go all the leads, plugs etc computer sees the carmera, but i can't acces it to download anything.
The camera will not let me move from file to file when plugged into the computer.
I need some new software, looked on answers, camera sites, others have the same problem, but no answers that I can find.

Interesting.
What camera files can you see on the PC?

In my computer, if you click on the USB port, it says corruped or unreadable data.
Camera works fine, but windows movie maker can't see it and I have tried a few video capture programs, seem no good on panasonic.
Will just have to slowly try more video capture downloads and hope.
One site, guy says he's a camera expert and you have to buy a new disk to reload the program.
Cheers all for the suggestions. Jim
Unfortunatly that's the problem, can't update what I don't have. Need some video capture software that works with panasonic.Quote:

VideoCam Suite2.0 update method
Login the computer using the administrative account. Terminate all active software.
If VideoCamSuite2.0 has already been installed in your PC, uninstall it and then reboot your PC.
Thanks, but it doesn't work, I'm missing something software wise, computer can not read the camaras data [video/ photo's] it could be the computer, it's not actully a normal PC, but a xpreditor, which was used for multi terminal internet games.Quote:

It's to bad you are so far away from Bangkok, the boys at " Fortunetown " would sort it in 25 seconds.
Next time you are going into Ubon maybe ?
There could be a farang in Ubon I know, who can sort it out, smart computer guy, but out here the locals come to me for help.Quote:

After days of looking and downloading, looks like it's a no go without a new disc, where I'd get one, no idea.
Only way around it, may be, is to burn straight to a DVD, they say it can be done if you have a compatable DVD burner.
See if this works...
VideoCam Suite Free Download
Did you even read what I posted in #16?
Although the link is an Update, it's for a clean system. It specifically tells you to remove the existing Suite before proceeding.
Have you actually tried installing it from that link?
It's 150Mb so I don't think it's what you perceive as an "update".
what kind of media is IN the camera ? seems to be fucked for sure, so will need to be reaplaced. If media is soldered inside the camera (some do) and there is no other source of storage, then you are fucked.
either way, it's not software, it's hardware
get a new media to put into the camera if the internal media is already fucked

the camera seems to have a HDD and external slot cards
get a new SD card for a start, the internal HDD for storage is probably fucked
Harry did read it, step 3, after deleting video cam suite, re insert the CD and then etc etc,Quote:

Lucky you did not pay for it as it gets a bit of a slagging off. :rolleyes:
Hans tried twice, can't get it to do anything.
Dragonfly, camera works fine, can record and playback, can play the vid on the TV, just can not download it into the computer.
Downloaded loads of video catchers and other things, but the computer just doesn't recognize the camera, it see it, but that's all.
Thanks again, but except for one very conplex one, where a guy says you can trick the camera into believing it uploading to the web, to indepth for me. Jim
Last chance saloon:
Download Free VideoCam Suite, VideoCam Suite 1.0 Download
I think that's as old as your camera.
Like cnet and softonic, say they have the download, but they just run you round their site trying to sell software.Quote:

Don't know if suite 1 is even usable, says different camera types.
Either get a DVD burner, or a new camera, wife's I phone 5 can probably do just as good for most things. Jim
Sounds like the built-in storage is toast. There should be some way to reformat it. Does this camcorder not have a little red button somewhere to reset it to factory settings?
Oh stop being a cheapskate, bin the piece of shit and buy a new camera.Quote:
