what camcorder can i get to transfer minidv tapes to windows 10 computer?

[dduran1210]

i need a camcorder to transfer old home movies on minidv tapes.  I have an old Panasonic that they say is

too old and they don't have drivers for it anymore.   so i need a camcorder that WILL allow me to download

the drivers needed to connect to my windows 10 computer.

any suggestions?

Windows 11 includes ClipChamp.  Its free and is the modern equivalent of MovieMaker

It even has a drag and drop timeline editor that actually works very well for free 🙂

Does ClipChamp import video from DV?

Are you sure your Panasonic doesn't have Firewire? That was the interface used on the original MiniDV cameras

Are you sure your Panasonic doesn't have Firerwire? That was the interface that was used on the original generations of MiniDV cameras.  Did Panasonic have another name for it, like Sony, who called their Firewire interface" iLink".
