I've been recording the World Cup games on my DVR and then tried transferring them to DVDs. I have successfully transferred about 10 games onto DVD on my VHS/DVD recorder. Other times, I've failed. Better yet, the DVD recorder has failed. The problem is that I've already made coasters from the DVD recorder failing so many times when it tries to finalize the DVD. At times, the DVD ejects as soon as I press "finalize" and then when I put the DVD back into the recorder. It tells me "Disc not recognized" and it ejects it. When I take the disc to the PC to try to fix it with ImgBurn or DVDDecrypter, my DVD-RAM drive says there's no disc. I've tried saving the track with NERO Burning ROM (tools->save tracks) and I can save the track, but when I try to read it with DVDShrink or ImgBurn, the PC says there's nothing in the disc. I might end up buying another DVD recorder tonight, since I still have to transfer all of group G and H's games, and am running out of space on my DVR and I don't want to lose these games. The DVD recorder is the same JVC recorder with which I had trouble a while back, and it was fixed. It seems JVC's hardware really sucks... I've tried with DVD-Rs, DVD+Rs, and no cigar... it can't even read dual-layer discs or DVD-RWs... it says "disc not recognized." I am a PC geek but up until now, I never had to deal with an unfinished session on a disk. I've searched for answers on the interwebs, but I've found none. Is there a program out there that someone has used to recover the video that was already recorded? I know the session is there, but the PC won't recognize it.
Whoa? Only two smileys? You must really be distressed... In all seriousness though.. You might not have enough room on your disk? Uncompressed HD video that is capped from a DVR usually takes up a lot of room on your hard drive. You might want to transfer it to your computer... Use Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere or Adobe After Effects to compress the file using an MPEG codec. Of course. I'm not sure if that's the problem in the first place...
No, it's not on the PC. It's on my DVD recorder attached to my TV and getting the source from my U-Verse DVR. I am not extracting the video from the DVR's hard drive. The HD feed I recorded on my DVR is sent via component (the GREEN, BLUE, and RED) to the VHS/DVD recorder, so it becomes analog, I believe... but sometimes finalizing the disc works, and sometimes it doesn't. I can change the recording mode on the DVD from 89 to 120 to 240 minutes, and I can fit up to 3 games at the lowest quality (but I don't want to do that). It's got something to do with session closing on the recorded DVD. Anyone have any idea on what to do? And, yeah, only two smileys. I'm cutting down.
I've had some similar problems in the past with my NEC recorder. Solution: CD Roller (worked for almost everyone i gave the program to)
Try Iso Buster to recover data from disk and burn again. I did this when my sony cam would not finalize disks for some odd reason a long time ago. Don't know if it will work for you though.
The model of the VHS/DVD recorder JVC DR-MV78, BetterThanI. Not yet, sir... I just got back home from Fathers' Day festivities. I will try it as soon as I get a chance. Thank you for that. Isn't iso buster shareware (costly), MIAGI? This is how it's done, Dr of Dunk: That's what SHE said. :grin:
