  • me and a friend recorded using a Samsung digicam that records straight to mini dvd or Memory card, we recorded on a DVD-RW (memorex) and it asked us to format we said yes, but then we took it out without finalizing and i read that you have to finalize the discs for them to be playabale...with 3 more discs, we just recorded, but did not format or finalize, BUT STUFF GOT BURNED ON THEM, i can see on the back of disc, all are full, but we just FORMATTED THE FIRST DISC...and well this first disc, plays on a friend's Portable dvd player, AND ON NO OTHER DEVICES WE PUT IT ON including my cpu, it just reads it as a blank dvd....out of the 4 dvds we got, only this one plays at all...the rest dont...but i was wondering how i can extract the video from the one that works on my friends portable dvd-player??? is it possible?what app? or how?***the camera we did this with does not read any of the dvds either***and my cpu does not read any either, not even the one we formatted before recording.. :(

Welcome to the wonderful world of DVD recording. As you are finding out DVD's suck as a recording media. Personally, if you haven't had the camcorder very long, take it back and get a refund on a MiniDV camcorder. As far as you 4 DVD's are concerned, 3 are definitely beer coasters. You might be able to salvage something from the 1 that plays by playing it in the portable player and recording it on another machine - DVR or even a PC with the right video inputs. Enjoy!

Have you tried finalizing the first one? If you put it back in the camcorder and finalize it, it might work on other players. If you cross your fingers and toes you might also be able to finalize the other three and get them to play on something.
