I am trying to transfer SVHS tape to DVD using a JVC SR_MV30 VCR with TBC. I bought the unit new when it was still available just to copy VHS tape. The DVD side stopped recognizing discs, "Disc Error" message (?). I'm using Verbatim AVO blanks as recommended by this Forum.

I bought a NIB Sony VRD-MC5 recorder. The first disc it burned came out great and played well on my DVD/Blu-ray player that performs flawless with commercial movies. The next 2 discs I burned would show the chapter screen on the TV monitor, but when I pressed play I got a "prohibited" message on the screen. Somehow going through the players menu I was able to trick it into playing finally. Removing and re-inserting the disc, I got the same failure to play message.

I can only assume the issue is with the Sony recorder. I am using Amazon, so returning stuff is easy. I started looking at the "Newer" Sony recorders, and the VRD-MC10 seemed to have better features the included RCA outputs for a monitor. My issue is the Amazon is only offering the MC10 as refurbished, I do NOT want any electronics that aren't new. I did find an MC10 "Open Box" offered that still has the film on the plastic for a VERY decent price.

Any Helpful feedback on my issues including the "Disc Error" message from the JVC ???

Thanks In Advance !

I have a question about the workflow on a project I am working on.

Back in 2006, I received a lot of help from folks on this site on taking my home videos and importing them to my desktop and editing them into a DVD. Now I am working on archiving. My goal is to back up the original DVDs to an HDD as well as burn another copy on a BD-R. Eventually I will also back up the original Hi8 tapes. Wish I kept that old desktop that had a FireWire card. Grrrr.

When I tried to upload the original DVDs to my laptop using VLC and HandBrake, it did not work, as the DVDs would stop importing even though you could play them all the way through.

Thanks to some help from this site, I used ISOBuster with no issues. From my understanding, this will also keep the interactive chapter selections I made.

My next move is to back these files up on my backup HDD, but I also want to make a playable BD-R. Do I just copy these files to the disc, or is there another step? As always, I really appreciate the help. ]]> Authoring (DVD) bytor2112 https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/421128-Authoring-DVD-Workflow-Question
