Hi

I am looking for the same as you. I have contacted Canon and get no help at all via the web. They do not seem to recognise the model.

If you have had any luck can you post where you got it from.

4000 m/cs took standard HD discs so there should be no problem physically reading them on a PC. Main problem is that the file extensions used by Canons (Txt, Inf etc) clash with Windows usage so unless care is taken, WP files auto-open in Notepad and appear as mostly garbage. With care, Word can produce a passable result but it is time consuming so easiest solution is a cheap professional conversion service - Google "Canon Starwriter Disc Conversion"
