I need to put a video onto my computer of a Panasonic NV-DS38. It has a firewire connection and software for Win95/98/me. My question is if it'll work with Mac OSX as well? I have searched and searched without luck.

thanks
I'm Appleless and unhappy: tiBook is dead and iPod stolen

I don't know about a NV-DS38, but I have a NV-GS70 and it works a treat.

The quickest way to find out is to launch iMovie, plug in the NV-DS38 and see if it is recognised, you should be able to switch the little switch between the camera and the scissors. If the camera is ok it will say 'Camera Connected'.

Good Luck!

I got a GS-50. No problem with video transfer on Firewire.

No luck on transfering still images (captured using SD card) or use it as a webcam using USB port (so far). So for still images, get a USB flash reader.

My NV-GS70 transfers images from the SD card. It mounts with 'Image Capture' and I can copy the images from it, though it does not always mount, some times you have to leave it a couple of minutes. This is when it is connected via USB not Firewire.
