No video on panasonic tx-l32e5b

I have just bought a tx-l32e5b panasonic TV and the TY-CC20W camera for Skype.  Ihere is no video.  The camera is correctly in USB2 and if I try a test call the red light on the camera goes on but there is no picture.  I can only record audio and not see a picture. I have reset, turned everything off plugged the camera into the other USB port and always the same.
Was intending to surprise my wife for Christmas by checking out her nephew and nieces skype addresses and ring them - so no contacts added yet.
Retired and feeling technologically stupid.  Any thoughts please?

Don't you just love panasonic "help".  I don't have a lot of time at present (family problems) so I went on line to their site and advised them - well before Christmas.  You get a number.  After 2 weeks I chased - quoting the number.  You get another number.  This gets repeated without Panasonic ever replying.  Five days ago I got the following from Panasonic:
Regrettably, due to some technical difficulties, we have been unable to respond to all of our customers as quickly as we would normally. Accordingly, please accept our sincere apologies if we have not yet managed to provide you with a response.
As it is possible that you have resolved the issue by another means, we would like to confirm whether your enquiry remains outstanding. If so, please simply reply to this e-mail and we will expedite a response to you.If you no longer require assistance, please simply ignore this mail.
 Once again we apologise for any inconvenience cause but look forward to being of assistance to you in due course.  
Kind Regards,Customer Service Team Panasonic UK
They quote no number so I don't know whether they are responding to the original enquiry or a chaser!  Despite replying that I was still waiting and that it was six weeks and counting they have not come back.
I think we can draw our own conclusions just how many people have problems with panasonic kit from that and the "in due course"...
I have wasted £100 on a camera and far more replacing a serviceable 32" TV with another that does not do anything extra...

  • Lumia 620 video format - Panasonic TV

    I had previously had problems with DLNA streamiing - http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Lumia-620-quot-Play-To-quot-app/td-p/1772318http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Lumia-620-quot-Play-To-quot-app/td-p/1772318 and have now been in discussion with Panasonic.
    They seem to be claiming the Nokia Video format is not compatibile with their TV sets ( well mine anyway, a TX-L37DT30B ).
    The Panasonic manual seems to say it can handle MP4 files of type H.264 BP/MP/HP with AAC/MP3 audio.
    The Nokia web site for the 620 says "Video recording formats: MP4/H.264" and "Audio recording file formats: 3GP, 3G2"
    The Panasonics DLNA "file manager" can see the video and reports it as 1280x720p MP4 file, but it stutters badly when played back via the 'Play To' Beta app.
    So the questions basically are:
    Am I missing something,
    Are these video/Audio formats compatibile? 
    And more importantly, should the Lumia 620 be able to play back video on a Panasonic TV? (Any other panasonic users out there).
    Thank you

    Beta forum - that will have to wait then. I've had two attempts to post to it (from different browsers) and both failed. After pressing <submit> to make the post it gives a message "server unavailable" (or some such nonsense).
    I tried to post:
    I'm trying to stream Lumia 620 video to a panasonic TV using DLNA via a BT Home Hub 2B. The phone connects wirelessly to the router, and the TV connects via powerline Eth adapters to the router.
    Whilst I can connect and see photos on the TV, video is just a stuttering slide show.
    I originally posted here - http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Lumia-620-video-format-Panasonic-TV/td-p/1810002 and was advised to post on the Beta discussion as well.
    The video stutters when played by DLNA, but the same video transferred to an SD card via a PC, plays OK in the TV.
    I've been on touch with Panasonic and they seem to be blaming the phones video format for not playing in the media server, yet their brochure for the TV claims it can play 720p MP4 videos.
    Any ideas?
    Should the Lumia be able to stream its own videos to a Panasonic TV?
    Thank you.

  • What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?

    What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?
    I writed to Panasonic Italy support about this question:
    "What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?"
    Panasonic writed me in a very poor manner and said me:
    "...riproduce formati: AVCHD (anche 3D), SD-Video, DivXHD, JPEG, MP3, AAC tramite USB e Slot SD/SDHC/SDXC card..."
    "...formato : AVCHD estensione file nella SD: .MTS..."
    I made a few videos edited with PremiereProCS5 and exported as H.264 Coding and .mp4 file extension, all side by side, with layout 1920x1080pixels that includes two stretched frames at 960x1080 pixels.
    This is the same image layout that uses the Panasonic 3D consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", that record AVCHD videos with file extension .MTS.
    I also tried to export another video as MPEG2 with .mpg file extension.
    But at the store the tests failed, and I cannot see anything!
    My questions are:
    1) What format can be used by PremiereProCS5 for exporting the Stereoscopic 3D videoclip and play them via USB port on Panasonic TVPlasma3D such "TX-P46VT20"?
    2) What codec should be used? H.264? H.264-bluray?
    3) What file extension should have the movie file? .mp4?
    Many Thanks!
    Horsepower0171.

    -I already read entirely those threads, but nothing about stereoscopic 3D AVCHD movies through USB port, on Panasonic TVPlasma3D.
    (Also, Sony said me that is not possible to play 3D videos on your 3DTV through USB port).
    I tried to made a H.264 videoclip, with .MP4 extension, at 960x1080p side-by-side layout, but nothing was displayed, and black screen.
    I think that just the AVCHD movies, with .MTS extension, that comes from Panasonic consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", can play the 3D videos via HDMI cable, not USB port.
    But not the exported videos from PremierePro via USB port.
    I seen this tutorial from David K Helmly:
    http://www.youtube.com/user/dhelmly#p/a/u/1/_YtF0c2bmkw
    Dave export the video from PremiereProCS5 as "MPEG2-bluray" format with "Match Source Attributes (HighQuality)" Preset, and build the Bluray Disc in EncoreCS5, with the footage as MPEG2 with .m2v file extension:
    1) Anyone tried to play correctly in 3D, those MPEG2-.m2v side-by-side files, in Panasonic3DTV, with BlurayDiscReader?
    2) Why MPEG2.m2v side-by-side?
    3) The official standard stereoscopic 3D format, is not the .MVC (MultiViewCoding) for Bluray3D Disc?
    I am confused!
    Help!

  • Impossible to import videos from Panasonic SDR s26 to iMovie 09, previously no problem. Why?

    Impossible to import videos from Panasonic SDR s26 to iMovie 09, previously no problem. Any way to solve this problem?

    I don't have your model but here are some things to try.
    1) Make sure you are powering the camcorder with AC power not batteries.
    2) Open iMovie before connecting the Camcorder
    3) Connect the USB Cable and turn on the camcorder
    4) Open the LCD screen of the camcorder. Does it give you a choice of Pictbridge vs. PC Mode. If so, choose PC Mode.
    5) iMovie import screen should come up.
    Also, make sure you have installed all software updates. (/Software Update). If the software update requires you to restart your Mac, then restart your Mac before proceeding. Install iMovie, iLife, Quicktime, and Leopard updates.
    If that still does not work, try taking out your SD card and putting in a USB card reader.
    If that still does not work, put the card back in the camcorder and make a disk image of the card using disk utility. After making the disk image, try formatting the card using your camcorder menu. Then retry shooting some footage and importing.
    By the way, using MPEG streamclip should not create files any larger than iMovie will create using an import function.

  • Capture Video from Panasonic AG-HMC40

    I am having trouble capturing video from my camera - Panasonic AG-HMC40 HD camera
    I keep getting a message:  Capture Device Offline.
    I am able to capture from iMovie and Final Cut X....
    Does anyone know the correct capture settings?

    You don't have to capture. You ingest.
    IE: Copy files from your camera memory card onto your hard drive using the media browser.
    See extract from Adobe Help below:
    Import assets from file-based sources with Media Browser
    You can import assets into Premiere Pro directly from tapeless media. However, it is more efficient to transfer tapeless media contents to a hard disk before importing. Also, playback performance is much better from a dedicated internal hard drive or RAID than from a camera or memory card reader.
    Use the Media Browser, instead of File > Import, to import files from tapeless sources. The Media Browser assembles the relevant files into coherent clips, and does not import irrelevant non-media files sometimes found in the folders of tapeless media.
    (Optional) Transfer the entire contents of one or more P2 cards, Sony Compact Flash cards, XDCAM media, XDCAM EX SxS cards, hard disk camcorders, DVDs, or AVCHD media to a hard disk. For information about transferring these media, see About transferring files.
    Note:  For XDCAM EX, copy the entire BPAV folder and its contents, not just one MP4 file at a time. 
    If the Media Browser is not already open, select Window > Media Browser. Note:  You can dock or group the Media Browser like any other panel in Premiere Pro.
    Browse to the folder containing the media files. The Media Browser shows a thumbnail or icon (depending on the format) and shot name for each shot in the folder. The Media Browser automatically aggregates spanned clips and shot metadata from the subfolders into single clips for any of these formats. The Media Browser shows different sets of metadata for different formats.
    (Optional) To preview a shot before importing it, double-click the shot in the Media Browser.  Premiere Pro plays the clip in the Source Monitor without importing it into the Project panel.
    Either select File > Import From Browser, drag clips from the Media Browser into the Project panel, or drag clips from the Media Browser into a timeline.
    The asset or assets are imported into the Project panel as whole clips.

  • Importing Hi 8 video through Panasonic DVX 100

    Here's my dilemma... I want to capture Hi 8 video. I have hooked up my original Sony Handycam camera as the player - feeding video into my Panasonic DVX 100 through the old school red-yellow-white cables. My Panasonic DVX 100 video out is a Mac Firewire that connects into a firewire 6 port hub which connects into the Mac.
    Going through "Capture" on FCE, I can see the Hi 8 video. So I hit play on the Handycam player, then click "Capture Now."
    But then I get the following error message "Device must be in VTR mode when Device Control is enabled."
    I have the Panasonic in VCR mode (DV output set to "on") and the Handycam in "player" mode.
    What am I missing? Thanks for helping out!

    The solution poses a new problem, one that other people are having as well.. After I capture a clip, I get a warning regarding sample audio rate. According to my easy setup, the DV - NTSC - DV Converter audio rate is 48 kHz for both the sequence and capture.
    I can't find an audio rate setting on the Sony Handicam Hi 8 camera, which is the camera that originally recorded the tape.
    How can I resolve the error warning?

  • Video through Panasonic HT?

    Hello,
    After doing some research, I have found that the Touch requires either the Apple-branded component / composite cables or an approved system (presumably the system performs the authentication). Does anyone know of a list of these systems?
    I am trying to troubleshoot the lack of video through a new Panasonic HT. Audio works great, but for video, the system tells me to connect via component. I currently have the HT connected to TV via HDMI.
    Panasonic website and manual both say the same thing, but do not specify Apple cables only.
    Thanks!

    You need the Apple cable either composite or component, others wont work since the 3rd Gen Nano came out. The link for the composite is below.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB129LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjE0NTAzOA
    I have this cable and it works with the Touch.

  • No video on panasonic viera tc-p50st50

    Just installed Panasonic Ty-CC20w camera on my Panasonic Viera tc-p50st50 tv. Person I skype receives both video and audio, but I only receive audio--no video.  Anybody have a fix for this?  My parents are going to Australia and my whole point of getting a camera for my tv was to skype my parents while they are gone so my kids can see them and not miss them as much.  Thanks for any help.

    had same problem, but with the Logitech camera, so I changed the port settings (in advanced options) to "enable uPnP" and now it works, although the connection seems weak.

  • Transferring video from Panasonic NV-GS300 to imovie

    We have hours of video footage on tape from our Panasonic NV-GS300 video camera but have no idea how to transfer it to our Mac Book Pro. I would be grateful for advice on what cables/leads I need and how I actually make the transfer - if it is possible. Many thanks in anticipation.

    For a start you need a FireWire cable with a 4 pin connector for the camera and a suitable connector for the socket in your MBP, which could be a FW400 (6 pin) or FW800 (9 pin).

  • Matching video sources: Panasonic DVX 100 and Canon G10

    I am trying to match digital video captured on mini-DV from a Panasonic DVX100 with video captured on a Canon G10 digital camera. The G10 footage is a good quality, but looks noticably different, the clips do not blend well. Has anyone tried something like this before, or have any suggestions?

    A lot can be accomplished in the 3Way to get what you want, in fact, I would advise you against using Color for this, unless you know it and unless you're looking to establish an image baseline and have Color render new media. Time should have been taken to match the DVX100 to the G10 beforehand on chart like a DSCLabs Chrome du Monde or at least with a Macbeth Color checker.
    Find similar shots from each camera, place a marker at each spot. Toggle back and forth between the markers, observe your scopes (the vectorscope, waveform and RGB Parade - ignore the histogram as it's fairly worthless) as they will tell you what to do.
    Manipulate away.
    Don't know how to read your scopes? There's a section in the manual that quickly gives the highlights of this great skill to know.
    If you get in a bind, send me a couple of .tiffs from similar shots of each camera and I'll get you started.

When the box tells you it work with iMovie and I did read the booklet but still doesnt mention anything of a Mac
    Thank You!

    Hi, thanks I found "log and transfer". I read on the internet that there is problem with my camera model in FCE. When I'm log and transfer I can choose btw formats like .MPl, .MTS and CPI - none of these work to import.
    Maybe I'm stupid but I don't succeed to import either in iMove or FCE. More tips please?

  • Can not download videos from Panasonic ZS20

    Running iPhoto 8.1.2 ('09) on Lion.  Imports photos OK from Panasonic-ZS20, but will not retrieve video clips from camera.

    That camera shoots AVCHD, which is a format designed for people who want to edit video, so you really should be bringing that into iMovie.
    Or, the most recent versions of iPhoto 11 has limited AVCHD support.

  • Capturing 24p Video from Panasonic DVX-100

    I shot some material on the 24p mode of the Panasonic DVX-100a. I want to capture it as progressive Video because it's for The web. In The Final Cut capture settings, there is a setting for advanced pulldown removal. But not for The regular 24p mode. I dont even care about The frame rate, but i need This footage to be proggressive so I won't get the interlaced defect!

    In the USE area of the Easy Setup, choose Cinema Tools 23.98 from DV-NTSC. That will remove standard 3:2 pulldown (which is 24p). You would only use the Advanced Pulldown removal if you had shot 24pA (the A standing for Advanced). Be aware that you will still have 6 interlaced frames in your video.
    You no longer have to actually launch Cinema Tools to do this. You can do it from within FCP for about 2 or 3 versions now.

  • New Dad cannot import video from Panasonic HDC-SD1. Seeks help.

    Hi all,
    A few week ago I bought a Panasonic HDC-SD1 in preparation for the birth of my first-born. I tested it and it worked fine, importing in to iMovie 7.1 either direct from the camera, or via a USB card reader.
    Since then I have updated to iMovie 7.1.1 (running on OSX 10.5.1 Intel iMac).
    My beautiful baby boy was born two days ago, and I'm still unable to get the video into the Mac. Using direct camera connection or USB card reader the card mounts, but iMovie refuses to recognise any video to input. I've tried starting iMovie before and after connecting the card etc, but it just won't play ball.
    Anyone any other tips to get this working? All was well with iMovie 7.1 - I tried re-installing the old version but it just crashes on being run.
    Help! Everyone wants to see my baby boy!

    Congratulations on your new baby (your son, I mean) and your new tool (toy). I have a 4-month old, which was my justification for buying the Sony CX7, he also helped me get a new DSLR. Now I'm trying to convince my wife that the baby needs a new Macbook Air.
    The CX7 is also a flash based, AVCHD camcorder. For a quick solution to your problem, check out a program called Voltaic. It will batch transcode the AVCHD (.mts) files. This way, you don't need iMovie to recognize the camera, and you can move the .mts files off your flash card for archiving on a DVD, NAS, or external drive for future use. You can then delete the transcoded files after you complete your projects, since you can easily transcode again, if you want use the clips again in a future project. You will want to do this, because the transcoded files are much, much larger than the original .mts AVCHD files.
    I hope this helps.
