I use windows 7. Not very happy with 8.I use a haugpaug, (spelling?) For the converter. Does this help?

it's been a long time since I've used mine....I converted to digital, but as I recall, it worked with my older computer and when I bought a new Toshiba laptop, it was not compatible with the usb input. I tried a few things that Best Buy suggested, but I couldn't get it to work. That's not to say there isn't a way...a converter perhaps. I will say that this was a great video camera. I've got dozens of videos that I will soon pull out and watch. I loved it, but technology advances very quickly.

I had no luck getting it to work in Windows 8.0 and most USB 3.0 devices will still work - in a technical sense - with Windows XP because they're backward-compatible. However, they will fall back to USB 2.0 compatibility and transfer data at about one-tenth of the potential speed of USB 3.0.

What have you tried for transfering the photos? I've never had a problem loading pictures with my USB, as well as by simply loading my memory stick into an sd converter. I'm really not sure I'll be able to answer if those two options do not work.

It should be compatible USB is generic and it is USB 2.0 so windows 8.1 will be compatible because USB drivers will be generic hope i helped

USB 2, its really a cheap camera with very poor picture quality. I would not buy it again.

I am using on Windows 7, it works fine. It should work on Windows 8 the same but if your computer has USB 3.0 you should a hub that supports 3.0.

It may work for windows 8, but not for the windows 8.1 and updates to windows 8, I made several attempts to get it to work, followed all suggestions from pawtec.com and nothing made it work. They cited that the windows updates made the usb 3.0 ports "bad" to where they would not recognize devices. They work for other things, so I can't see why it would be that they wouldn't work for this, and think it is a problem with this product and not with windows, but I've seen other people have problems with other usb 3.0 external players of other brands that kept recognizing/unrecognizing, and not playing discs just like this one did to me. If you have windows 8 with no updates, you may be safe using this, anything later, I wouldn't chance it. I'm returning mine for a refund and will try something else.

I've use with Windows 7. Its a USB 2.0 hub I see no reason why it would not work with Windows 8.1 as Win8.1 should be backward compatible with USB 2.0 standards.

This used to work on Windows 8, but I tried to use it today on Windows 8.1 and the device driver no longer loads correctly. I tried contacting the company to see if they are coming out with a new driver. http://www.gearmo.com/shop/fast-usb2-infrared-adapter/

Well, I just tried a micro SD in mine, and it worked. I'm running Windows 8.1. USB 3.0 also works. That's about all I use, but they seem to work.

It works in a USB 3 port, but does not function as USB 3 only USB 2 speeds. It will not drive a 720p USB camera, and the tech support was laughable they told me you get what you pay for. Basically you cannot extend anything you need real USB speed with... ThanksDB

It does work with Windows 8.1. But I had to purchase a USB 3.0 PCI card for my computer, cause for some reason it didn't like the USB 3.0 that was build into my motherboard. Black magic makes good products. But call the company to make sure your computer will work with it.
