I just purchased a "Fire place video" for my TV. It works great
in my DVD player but when I put it in my computer so I can back
up the disk I can't see any video files on the disk. Niether can
cloneDVD or FabDVD or Windows explorer. I've backed up movie DVD's before but have never run into this problem. You can see on the disk there is something burnt to it. And it plays great ????
Any suggestion I can try. Thanks in advance.

Is that a "pressed" DVD or a burned DVD? If it is a burned DVD, is it DVD+R or DVD-R? Can your computer's drive read either?

I have two DVD burners and both can read and write both
DVD+R and DVD-R discs. I have just looked again at this disc
with an eye lupe and can see its a Memorex Printable DVD-R
4.7GB 16X disc and on the burnt side there is the number
DR5F6O-01809 I have never seen a disc like this my computer
could not at least see a file on. What kind of prtection
could this be ? Where the DVD player could play it and the
computer not see it ?
Thanks for the help.

From the second link that I posted, it seems that if your disc was recorded with UDF, then you would need SP3 with UDF driver in order to read it maybe. Did you try to see the disc with WMP or nero maybe?

All DVDs are UDF.

Media

DVD-Video media use UDF version 1.02. These discs contain a so-called UDF Bridge format, whereby both an ISO 9660 (Level 1) and a UDF 1.02 filesystem are present on the same disc, describing the same filesystem.

All standard formats for video recording on DVD-style media use some version of the UDF filesystem.

The reviews also help to determine which media gives the best results.

I wnat to thank you people for all your help. I was
able to backup the disc with DVDFab5122. I could not
see it with WMP or Roxio.
Thanks again
