Hi,

Figured I'd throw this out there. I'm pretty sure nothing is possible. Figured I'd give it a shot though.

I am a big DVD trader in sports DVD's. Over time I've acquired several discs which weren't finalized after they were duplicated.

Therefore they won't play in my tv set top player, or my computer. They don't get recognized when inserted into the drive.

I've currently got 12 of them which seem useless. Is there anything I can do....programs, or software? I can use to see the files and possibly re-encode to make them work?

Thank you to anybody for their assistance.

Try IsoBuster.
If you can see any listings in the right pane that's megabytes in size, right click on the track and extract it to an .iso file.

I'll give it a shot. Hopefully I can salvage some of this stuff.

One question though. What if the dvd drive doesn't even recognize there's a disc? That's what I"ve found happens most often if a disc isn't finalized.


Thank you

Windows won't see anything - IsoBuster should.

Hey, thank you @ attar. ITS WORKING!!!!!

Now I can re-make them after I extract all the files. This is awesome. There's some rare footage on these discs which I thought was gone forever.

Thank you so much!!!
