Just Got A Mini Dv Cam For Christmas...

[healimonster]

It came with some software, but I am assuming it is all crap and there is much better, more "user friendly" stuff out there.

The gift was a bit of a surprise so I don't even know what I am going to do with the thing... any suggestions for use would be accepted as well.

The cam is some new model Panasonic 3 in 1 type deal. It has a flash memory card for pictures and MPEG4s, and it is a normal DV Cam.

I bet the pinnacle studio is for the video editing.

Whats a decent software to manage pictures, and buy managing I mean getting it out of the camera.

And MPEG4s, I know little to nothing about them?

This camera can also be used as a web cam...and the manual directs you to use NetMeeting. There has to be a better option than that?
