DVD recorded with no success

[Lava_Junkie]

Hello Everyone! Hopefully I'm posting in the right spot. Uggghhh... I have a somewhat complicated question... I made a DVD movie yesterday from a DVD player to a DVD recorder by using the audio/video in/out. I used the video from a pre-recorded movie and used audio from another source (computer's CD player). It went just fine until I stopped recording. I went to finalize the disc and it gave me an error during finalization. I finalized it again with success; so I thought. When I tried to copy my movie using my Win7 computer everything seemed to go fine. The copied disc will not play on anything; so I tried the original one I made knowing it plays fine on my computer. It only plays/shows up on the Win7 computer; no were else... Nothing shows up on any other computer but that one and cannot play on any other DVD player; this includes the one used to record it. Now when I view it using my computer's DVD player it shows two titles. The first one is the movie; the second is nothing playable. What do I do now? I gotta send it to a friend The picture is what I see on my computer. Thank you!

Your attachment isn't viewable. You're in an interesting bind, but I am gonna guess that the DVD probably didn't, in fact, actually finalise. Try to extract the data from the dvd using isobuster and burn a copy of that.

If a disk does not finalize at the first attempt, irrespective of what the subsequent finalizing said, it is ''toast" Aka only good as a table mat.

But, as far as I know, what you are attempting in the dvd recorder is impossible. You can not take video from one source, audio from another, and expect the recorder to mux them and make a dvd from the two sources.

This has to be done through a computer and a dvd-authoring package.

I downloaded isobuster but it looks kinda hard to use and have no idea what I'm looking at. it shows 3 titles the first one having stiff visible the other too show nothing but size.

It's not really complex, you just pick the first one.

Thanks... but how do I get that back onto a disc I can view? You guys have been of really great help!
