Any ideas or programs that I can download to view an unfinalized dvd?

Question

I recorded some stuff onto a mini dvd disk but the camera I filmed it with wont even recognize it. I also cant get my computer to read it but Im not sure if its finalized. I dont want to have it finalize without recognizing the video or it might just erase it everything. Any ideas or programs i can use?

Answer 1

Try IsoBuster - it might be able to read the disk and get the content onto your PC.

Answer 2

I used a DVD recorder that I have hooked up to my TV to finalize a dvd.

You can try to convert the files suing a video converter program like handbrake.

Answer 3

If it is not an RW disk there isn't any chance the finalization process will erase the disk. The video is on the DVD. Good luck!!
