Need help with my mini-DVD disks from my camcorder.?

Question

I have a Sony DCR-DVD92. I record on RW+ DVDs. Recording and playback are fine on the camcorder however I have problems playing the DVD on other devices like PCs or DVD players.

When I have filled a DVD is there another step I need to do to "finalize" the DVD so it is recognizable in more devices?

And when I eject a DVD and attempt to read the files with a PC there are no files shown on the DVD. Is that because I haven't done something like I mentioned above?

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Yes, you do need to finalize the DVD before most DVD players can play it. The setting is probably under setup or something like that. I have the Sony DVD201; its DVDs will play on just about any set-top DVD player after I finalize them.

Your computer still won't recognize the files on the DVD, probably, because files on a DVD are organized differently than data files are on a CD. If you are trying to get the video into your computer so you can edit it, use a program like Pinnacle Studio 10.5 to import from DVD, edit, and burn a new DVD.
