Extracting Video Files From DVD (Disc Not Finalized)

[Vishy8015]

Howdy
I’ve been recording some TV shows, using Panasonic DVD recorder, but last week had to replace the DVD recorder (broke). Problem is I couldn’t finalize the disc, with the previous DVD recorder, and now when I try finalizing with the new DVD recorder it doesn’t read the content, so cannot finalize it. Does anybody know how I could extract the video clips from the non-finalized disc?
Please help

ISOBuster can usually help. Don't know of a free alternative.

I never finalize my DVDs in the recorder (mainly because I use DVD RWs) and I use VOB2MPEG to extract the video. Only problem I've had is that my recorder records everything to a single VOB set so I have to use MPEG-VCR to cut it up but that's not a problem (since I remove adverts etc at the same time).

Unless I'm unique I'd expect any PC DVD drive to read you DVD finalized or not.

Tried IsoBuster but not much luck (I was using the free version),

Really?, I tried numerous softwares and non of them can even read the content in the disc. Continuously get the message cannot access the drive. I just found this software CD/DVD Diagnostic, looks promising, hopefully be able to extract the video clips from the disc.
