change your video recording
change your video recording format to JPEG (rather than the default panasonic format). You'll then be able to view your movies on all computers without having to install the panasonic viewing software

Hey mate, i had the same
Hey mate, i had the same problem about 2months ago when i had an awesome sambo jigging vid. The cameras are good only downfall is this. Finding your vids...pain in the rectum. You have to load all software to ur pc and dont forget to restart it. After that it should be able to find it, but the next downfall is even worse. Once loaded to your pc you can only watch it via the software and not any other media players(media player,quicktime etc) Which means you cant upload them to say this site or anything else because it saves it as some crappy format. I tried going further with it by seeing how to convert it to a movie file but i got stuck after this. Bit hard for the novice pc man.
Hope this gives some sort of help

Try the RAD converter
with BINK and SMACKER, very fast and a one click sort of conversion.
Its free and can convert most types of movie files.
The other good free converter out there is SUPER by erightsoft. It can convert more types of files though their latest version is a bit too complicated.
