Inge, In my experience it is much easier to take the memory card and put it into a vanialla card reader. Reduces complexities. Once you got that to work you know that the filesystem on the card is fine and you can read the data.
Then you can sort out any camcorder related issues. Or you might just be happy without the camcorcer connected... manfred > I am trying to download the still images from the memory card > on my Panasonic NV-GS5 (USB variety) digital camcorder.
