camcorder battery
due_in_Sept asked: We just bought a new camcorder (discontinued) and we want to keep it, because we cannot exchange it–only get a refund. Well, the battery is fully charged (new charger, we purchased separately), but the camcorder blinks two red lights really quickly and will not come on. I reset it, just because. It still will not come on. What could be the problem? Serious answers only, please. This camcorder is going to be used to document my pregnancy and the baby.
First of all, there is no need to make ignorant comments to a pregnant woman. Grow up. Second of all, if you cannot READ the whole question or have someone read it to you, then do not respond. Of course I read the manual. I’m an college graduate, with HONORS. I don’t have time for ingnorance. If you dont know what you’re talking about, then do not answer.

partyanimal2123 asked: I have an old camcorder. It’ll be 20 years on 9/2/08. Now, I am only 14 (15, TOMORROW!!!!! :DDD)

okay sry back to question.

I was just wondering if there is any possibly way to charge the batteries (we have 2) without harming the battery or any vital fluids leaking from the battery..?

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If it matters, it is a Hitatchi/Silvania Compact Video.
OOPS! ANOTHER EDIT!

I forgot to mention that I lost the charger. Which may change some of your thoughts/answers drastically.
I also have a battery that is from April 1995, that went with the same charger, that is lost.

So yeahhh.

Robert asked: I know how to make the Mini DV tape to a Memory file on my camcorder. The problem is when I try to transfer it to my computer. I can get it to transfer but when I watch it the quality is really bad. It saves it as a windows media file/video file and it is about 196 KB. (I only try to do small videos at a time thinking it will help the quality) I have something called VLC Portable but I can not get it to play through that, even if i right click and try to change the properties. HELP!!

TJ asked: Recently, I received a new 3rd generation Apple iPod nano. I downloaded some TV Shows from the iTunes store, and was wondering if it was possible for me to watch these episodes on a television, without having to buy anything extra.

I found the site:

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2005/11/18/video-ipod.html

And it was relatively helpful. I do have the camcorder A/V cable that it mentions int he above link.

Unfortunately, however, whenever I do as it says, and try to connect my ipod to the television, I get the message on my iPod, saying:

Tv Out Enabled
Please Connect Video Accessory

And this comes with a picture of a completely different wire that I need?

Am I doing something wrong? How can I connect my iPod to the TV?

Jean C asked: I have won a Panasonic DIgital Video Camcorder threw the pepsi promotion. But it wont let me record cause I dont have a tape with it. But is there a way I can tape but just save it on my camera? Because it didn’t come with one. And it sucks. But anyways I was wondering if theres something I need to change on the camcorder to be able to record w/out a tape.
Yes it is a Mini DV (PV GS85), but I was just asking cause i just got it in the mail like 2 hours ago and right now Im not near a store and I justed wanted to play with it, ya know?
