Did you finalize the disk (in camera) beforehand? Try that and see.

Well, first of all, if you were to format it, all the videos would be gone. Formatting wipes the drive clean. I'm assuming it's not allowing you format it because the format it is in is probably the only type the camera will allow. None the less, if you do format it, whatever was on that disk will be lost.

No, you don't want to format you want to finalize it, if you want to get the files from your camcorder to your pc. Formatting erases the video. Your manual will tell you how to finalize your minidvd's. MINIDVD If you have a mini dvd camcorder…. You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (I downloaded http://www.handbrake.fr/ or http://www.any-video-converter.com/download-avc-free.php file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Usually you would import your videos and drop them in to the timeline, add transitions, menus, music, etc. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.
