play it via the USB but not record? Recording onto a Panasonic NV-GS27 mini DV.Can play films on PC via USB but it will not allow me to record to then transfer to DVD. Using Adobe Premiere Elements 3 Editing program, well trying to.Do not have a firewire connection and do not have a spare space for a card.Is there a way to get the files on to my PC using just the USB connection. We did manage to tape some via the ordinary audio, video wires but the quality was poor.
