ALSO something that is irritating me i have lost the handbook but when the cd has finished recording in the camcorder and i try to get the disk out it says "please wait finalising" i have a really bad feeling that means it is closing the disk so thats why i cant format them but cant find a setting on there to turn that off and without the handbook im not doing too well lol the model of the camcorder is hitachi dz-gx5020e any help would be most GRATEFUYLLY apprechiated!!!! she will ony have her first day of school once so its really important i get it on camcorder and ive already done my shopping this week and town is miles away to which i have no transport,,, heres pinning all hopes im being thick lol and there is a way to format the mini disks

Answer 1

What are you trying to do, formatting means to make it compat for your computer so it will work, if it say unable then its already compat for the computer.

Paragraphs please! My eyes have gone blurry reading that.

You might have to format the disk using the options on the camcorder, I don't know much about video cameras but I had a similar problem when I tried to format a memory card for my PSP and I found out that it had to be done using the Format option on the PSP itself and could not be done properly from the PC.
