DVD Stuck

[tvlreject]

i used "send to" dvd drive to back-up some video files and when i went to restore them the dvd wont load.its a sony dvd-r,clean,no scratches.it loaded at first and showed the files but the green vista "progress" bar just kept going.it was in the process of picking out the frame to use as the clip display.i right clicked one of the files to look at my options and it kind of froze so i tried reloading the disc.it wouldnt load,restarted,tried safe mode,restarted,let it load and waited hours on end restated,needless to say the disc simply will not load.or register or whatever it does when you double click the drive to bring up the files then the green bar comes back(not sure if load or read is the right term).ive tried numerous programs to try to read the disc nothing works.i think something went wrong and its trying to format the disc but it cant because its full.one good example of a sympton im having with this disc is(which ive encountered in the past)programs seem to lock when the disc is in the drive which is still "loading"of course but when i eject the disc programs return to normal.other backup discs and dvds will load and play.i think something went wrong with the disc or its simply yet another wonderfull sony faulty disc.if there is any cure for this it would be most appreciated.thank you

"Send To" is a Windows process, and could have launched anything. That is also going to be packet-written in most cases, which is not very cooperative on DVD media in most folks experiences.

You may need to import the previous session, and then finalize, using burning software. Nero, maybe ImgBurn (not tried this before).

And don't do that again. If you want to back up data, use ImgBurn and BUILD mode, then create a normal ISO/UDF discs, not a packet-written mess. Don't use SEND TO.

You may need to import the previous session.

HOW?when the disc wont load,also i thought maybe it needed to and could be finalized which i forgot to mention.thank you for the responce.

Open Windows Explorer/My Computer and then insert the disc into your player. You should be able to browse the disc contents. If Windows can't read the disc, then you can try running Nero/Roxio/ImgBurn and see if they can recognize the disc, at which point you may be able to finalize it. Although, if Windows can't read the disc, you likely won't get anything else to read it either. You could try it on another PC, but don't hold your breath.

Windows won't read the previous sessions. You must open the disc in burning software.

wow nero has everything.imgburn says disc not supported(multi sesion
)i cant figure out how to do it with nero yet.

[lordsmurf]

Which version of Nero?

In v6 (full version) ... it was the same in Nero 4 and 5 .... go to RECORDER (File, Edit ... Recorder) and DISC INFO

It should say something about importing the session.

I've not done multi-session in years, so I don't exactly recall.

RTFM. The help file surely has info on importing previous sessions. That's probably how I learned.

i think its just a bad disc.nero burningRom copy disc;reading disc aborted...

[tvlreject]

i guess it is a bad disc and what i need is a dvd recovery program.which i came across by looking under the tools section:https://www.videohelp.com/tools.ISOBuster trial will read the disc but wont let me extract.if anyone knows any good,free recovery programs that will scan and allow extraction please let me know.and thanks for all the suggestions so far guys and gals!!

[lordsmurf]

You need the paid version of ISO Buster, to use UDF recovery mode.

iso buster and cdroller will in fact do the job as well as a few other programs ive found but only if you pay for it.since i cant find any free programs i think im going to break down and chat with my computer manuf. support *sob* before paying for iso buster *sob*

[lordsmurf]

Good luck with that. They'll give you the run-around.
