Members applcin Posted May 1, 2006 Members Share Posted May 1, 2006 Okay, I've done searches and read messages on other sites and even downloaded some suggested software but maybe I'm missing something. If anybody knows what I am doing wrong, please let me know! I have a combination VHS/DVD-RW recorder attached to my tv. I am able to copy stuff from my VHS tapes onto a DVD-RW and I have played it back in the player. However, when I lent the DVD-RW to friends, it came up blank for them. Likewise, it will not show up in my computer. My desktop has these drives: DVD+R Double Layer/DVD+-RW (both plus and minus) and DVD-ROM. I have been able to play DVD movies I purchased on my computer but it doesn't read anything I recorded to a DVD-RW. I tried downloading some conversion software but I can't convert when it's showing me there's not anything on the DVD to convert. Am I missing a step? How come I can play it on my DVD player but the disc shows up blank everywhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members applcin Posted May 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 Never mind! I figured out what I missed. I didn't realize there was a finalization process once I recorded something in order for the DVD-RW to be playable somewhere else. Couple of steps involved to this now, I see.
