Connecting to a Panasonic VDR-D220 camcorder
I tried the suggestion below but when I load the dvd into the tray no icon comes up on the desktop. How do I get the computer to recognize it? I have apower PC G5 version 10.5.4 I purchased the quicktime Mpeg-2 component.

I believe that camera records to Mini DVD discs, which is a final delivery format not intended for editing. If so, you won't be able to capture from the camera but you can convert the DVD's VOB files into an editable format.
Place the finalized DVD disc into a tray loading DVD drive. Use MPEG Streamclip to handle the conversion. You'll also need the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component if you don't already have it installed on your system.
any other suggestions?
