Mini dvd-r?

Question

a guest at my son's bday party recorded it on his camcorder. at the end he handed me a mini dvd-r. at home i tried to play it in my dvd player and nothing happened. then i tried to pop itin the computer and nothing happened. how do i watch this thing?

Answer 1

Give it back to whoever recorded it and ask them to finalise it in their camera - you should be able to play it once that's been done.

Answer 2

You will HAVE to finalize your dvd IN THE CAMERA and then put the dvd in your computer 's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (i downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.
