cdh14 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have very important video on a DVD+RW disc, but my DVD player/writer (which originally recorded the video) can't/won't finalize the disc for some mysterious reason. I was fairly certain I had formatted the disc prior to all recording. I can view the video through my player/writer's menu, and can even see it with my computer's CyberLink PowerDVD program that automatically starts when I put in the disc, but it is definitely not finalized (the data is somewhat jumbled). There is one title/chapter of video (the last one I recorded) that I need to take screen captures of, but the BS.Player program I use to do that can't seem to get at that one particular chapter--ARGH! I installed and launched ImgBurn after putting the disc into my computer's DVD-RW drive, and here was the log: I 13:45:56 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started! I 13:45:56 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 13:45:56 Total Physical Memory: 2,095,172 KB - Available: 896,880 KB I 13:45:56 Initialising SPTI...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 What do you see if you actually look at the disc in Explorer? Your issue is not to do with the finalising of the disc (nor its 'formatted' status) - or at least not in the sense that ImgBurn would do it via the 'Close' options. Scan through the raw VOB files and see if you can find the bit of video you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
