Recorded DVD won't play in computer

Postby Momo-P » Sun Apr 13, 2008 12:56 am

I recently recorded a whole bunch of material to a DVD, and while the shows have been properly recorded and will play in the actual player...it won't do a thing in the computer!

When I pop it in the computer, all I get is "BLANK CD (insert a bunch of CD burning options here)". But it's not blank! Not only is there information on it, but it's completely full.

The last thing I recorded even got cut off because it went to it's limit, there ain't no way this piece of junk is still blank.

Is there any reason why it's doing this? I tried to open it multiple times and just get errors. Sometime ago we use to have a DVD recorder (cheap and annoying one too) and that had some issues, but at least it'd register as a playable dvd when I put it in the computer.

Can anybody help with this? It's real annoying. I really wanted to take screens of some of these shows and thought it'd be fine, but apparently that's just asking too much.

Did you authorize the dvd?

Never going to let you down.
