Can't see my burned files on my computer

[andru8]

I have copied my camcorder film to dvd-rw with my jvc dm1 and it plays back fine on the player,yet when i put it into my computer it is not reconised.I have read allmost every thread in the forum and have not recieved any advice on this.If i open up the dvd-rw in explorer it is just empty.How can i get windows to see the files so i can edit them.I use windows xp sp1 and ntfs files system.

Thanks

Use isobuster to see if you can access any files or try and see if dvdshrink can find the files.

You have a DVD drive right? Your standard CD drive won't read a DVD.
( I should have looked at your profile before posting. I see you list a pioneer)

I went looking and found that your recorder does dvd-video and dvd-vr. Make sure you are making a dvd-video which is the standard for PC dvd recorders I don't think most Computers will handle dvd-vr without special programs. if you can see the files in your recorder what is the directory formats?

Also you might check that your dvd-rom will read dvd-rw discs to begin with.

Just as a guess tho I would think that you are getting dvd-vr output.

Maybe something with VR mode ?

Yes on my computer i have a pioneer dvd rom drive and also a panasonic multi dvd-r /ram burner.Perhaps it would make a difference if i tried to access the files from the panasonic multidrive dvd burner.I will try again and format the disk in video mode not VR mode then see if i can read it in windows

Staring to get desperate now.Just formatted in video mode and put same family film onto dvd-rw and still cannot see anything on it.DVD2One,dvd decrypter and Tmpgeg DVD all say the disc is empty!But i can still play it on the jvc recorder!Surely there must be an easier way to edit these files.

do you have to finalize the disc?
