Recovering Video Files from a DVD-R

[Cougar94]

Hi there

I own a LG RH1999H DVD Recorder.

I recorded a TV Program on a DVD-R Disc and everything went well,but when i wanted to play the disc the

recorder "said" unknown disc and ejected it. I did not finalize the disc.

I tried ISO Buster but it did not work.

Can one recover the video files of an unfinalized DVD-R?

you gotta finalize the disc first. did you record it in VR MODE or VIDEO MODE?

Hello,Budz

The program was recorded in video mode.

I cannot finalize the disc because the recorder does not want to read it.

Can one recover the video files of an unfinalized DVD-R?

Yes. NeroVision sucks the data right off the disc. It's not free, but worth it for this alone. I typically migrate all my DVR's content to my PC anyway, so I never bother with finalizing the RW discs I use.

Load your disc in your PC and in NeroVision select Make DvD (or Editable DvD/VR/etc. all work) and on the next page Import Disc and select the drive it's on, select your destination folder a few seconds later, and after some import time, Bob's your uncle.

Keep in mind, this may be model specific. I have a Pioneer. Not sure if NeroVision will recognize content from the LG hardware so I don't want to guarantee anything. But if you're desperate it's certainly worth a try.
