clumb31 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I recorded a show onto a -RWDVD. It plays on the dvd player fine. I wanted to edit it and then burn to a -R disc. BUT, my computer "E" drive says the disc is blank. I also tried "reading" it in ImgBurn but also came up"blank" Is ther any way to access the files via my computer?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 If your drive can't read the disc, no not really. Your drive does support DVD's yeah? It's not just a CD drive? You could try updating the firmware on the drive, it might then be able to read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that since there is "information" on the DVD, there might be some "exotic" program somewhere that could access the data. Firmware, I'm not sure what that is but will research it.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Maybe your email blocked it as SPAM, that's what normally happens. No software can do anything with the media until the drive says it contains something. Try it in another drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
