Camcorder to Computer Help Needed...

[TokyopunK]

Normally I am a genius when it comes to these things, but this time I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I have a Panasonic HDC-DX1 AVCHD camcorder which records movies on DVD-R's/DVD-RW's...

I follow all of the directions in the manual (finalize the disk, connect it to the computer via USB cable, put it on PC mode)

The computer recognizes it/installs the drivers. (I even tried again restarting)

I go to My Computer: G:\, click it, and I get an error that "The disk is corrupted or your computer does not support the selected format"

I read in the manual that you need special software to edit AVCHD format, so I open my Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 (which supposedly supports it), I go to Import: From DVD disk camcorder, and select the G :\, but I get the same error.

I am running Windows XP on a new Gateway Laptop, and even tried it on my Sony Vaio desktop with XP but it still didn't work.


Any ideas?

Is it possible you are getting that message because your DVD drive only supports DVD +R or +RW format while you are recording on DVD -R or -RW format?
