panasonic DMR-HS2 finaliazed disc's not readable in a PC DVD

[darkhunter]

Finalized DVD-R disc's from this machine for some reason cannot be read on my Lite-On DVD-Rom drive in my PC??

Other DVD-R's made on the PC movies, PS2 games, whatever, all are recognized fine. But if I want to put a HS2 disc on the PC I have to read it with my pioneer 104 DVD-RW which is so sloooow, takes like almost 30 mins to read the disc on the hard drive??

Anyone have an explanation for this?

The first thing to check would be your media. As has been discussed in this forum before, certain DVD-R's work in a wider range of drives than others.

I've got a DMR-HS2 on order and I'm dying to know some things about it.

Are you able to edit and create new chapters before burning a DVD-R? (I know you can do some of this with DVD-RAM, but I want to do it on DVD-R's).

I read that the HS2 automatically generates chapter thumbnails from DV input. How does it handle regular video input? Can you choose thumbnails to use for chapters?

Thanks.

i had this problem, with a DMR-E20 i recorder a dvd-r with 20 chapters and my cd-rw drive only read the first 6 chapters that i used power-dvd to read from this dvd-r from the e-20, i have burned another disk with fewer chapters and the dvd-r drive read fine, my guess the problem was the power dvd or any other dvd software, could not read all these chapters the "memory buffer" in the program was to small??

The HS2 just kicks ass.
I have not done anything with DV with it but you can edit (take commercials out, etc) and create chapters pretty easily, "create playlist" is what it's called. Just do everything on the hard drive then when you have it ready to go "dub" it over to DVD-R.

Also with the media, I can use the same brand and record a DVD on my PC, reads fine in the dvd drive. But use that same media on a HS2, finalize, and try to read on the PC, it's a no go??

The problem I am having is that it cannot read/ finish seeking the DVD at all I can't even open it up to view the files, it's essentially frozen. I have to use my DVDRW drive to read it
