Okay, electronics whizzes, tell me what I did wrong.
TM sang the National Anthem at our neighborhood Memorial Day Party. ($100 - which, judging by the economy and how hard she's looking for a job, could be the only money she earns all summer, but I digress)

Anyway. I went to BestBuy this morning to buy blank digital tapes and I also picked up a SD card for my camcorder, which is a Panasonic PVGS300, pretty straightforward camera, because I don't usually remember to bring my glasses.

So, I put the card in, and when she started I pressed record.

Apparently, nothing happened? :shrug: When I went to card playback, the screen said 'No data'.

I've read and re-read the manual and I can't figure out where I went wrong.

Anybody have any thoughts? I would hate for this to happen when it's something really important.

TIA.

2. Dude. I totally figured out the iPod.
:thumbsup:


:rofl:


And, I should have stayed with the tape mode, because I can do that.

I feel like such a Luddite.


:rofl:

14. What's an ipod??
I'll have to ask my technology consultant, cboy4, for advice.

I'm still trying how to get the vcr to stop blinking!

15. If it is like my Sony Handicam, the memory card/stick is for still images
And you have to use tape to record movies.

4. If pressing record is not enough to actually record, then that device is poorly designed
:wtf:

5. See it always worked on tape mode, that's why I'm wondering what I did wrong.
Could it be the card? Or are they the all the same? The guy at BB seemed to know what he was doing? :shrug:

6. The Panasonic camcorder I have won't record video to the SD card
The SD card is for still pictures only. I have no idea if yours works the same way.

7. If you want to record video
You have to use a tape. The card only works for still photo shots, not video.
See manual.

10. Okay, thanks that makes sense.
THe manual indicates using an SD card for pics, but doesn't expressly state you can't use it for video.

If it does, I missed it.

Thanks again.

16. Make it $49.95, just like the UFC
It's at least as good as watching Brock Lesnar, and way better than Matt Hughes' "cpmeback."

18. How's Lesnar doing anyway?
I liked him when he was a wrestler. Mountain of a man he was.

21. Not bad, and I just read that his BJJ ground game and striking game have improved by miles
If he really does have a decent striking and submission game now, he'll be close to invincible in his weight class. He's a powerhouse.

I had my ass kicked in Aikido today, but since it was by a 5th dan and one of the top women in the world, that's okay.
