Okay I have learned many things just by reading the threads on this site. I have learned how to rip dvd's and and turned to this site everytime I have trouble. I have never had the need to post as I have always found the answers to my questions by reading the threads but I have been banging my head against the wall ALL DAY trying to create a DVD with my cruise videos. I have a Hitachi 240X DVD Cam, and have used DVD-R's to record my video's with it. Now I want to edit and create a DVD in Roxio, and I cannot. Is it at all possible that in my DVD/CD-RW Drive that I cannot use DVD-R's(Properties state that the hardware is HP DVD Writer 300c and the device type is a DVD/CD-ROM drive) ....if so what the heck do I do with all these videos I have recorded in DVD-R format? I have tried everything I can think of, I even tried shrinking the disc's, and I can't, I cannot copy them into a file as they will not work. I am at a total loss. Everyone here seems very smart and helpful, I would appreciate any advise.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions :)
Okay, I have a DVD CAM, in it I used a DVD-R mini disc to record my home videos. My HP Computer hardware says it is a HP DVD Writer 300c and the device type is a DVD/CD-ROM drive. What I am trying to do is create a DVD of my home videos on my computer. I am using the Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 The Digital Suite. It will not capture the videos off of the DVD-R that I recorded in my DVD Cam. How do I get my DVD-R onto DVD+R's? I don't know if this matters, but, I use DVD+R's to burn DVDS with DVD Shrink, not DVD-R's. I don't believe the DVD-R'd work wo burn on my pc, and I am figuring that my problem is that my DVD Cam discs are DVD-R, and maybe should be DVD+R? I am not even sure if I can use a DVD+R in my DVD Cam though, but I have never tried, as the guy at the store told me to get the discs I have (DVD-R). Oh, the DVD-R mini disc that I recorded from the DVD Cam, plays with no trouble at all on my computer, but I cannot save it to a file on the pc, or seem to figure out how to get it to copy onto a DVD+R
.....DVD+...DVD-...this is driving my nuts, why the heck can't they ALL just be a + or -!! Lmao
I hope this clarifies what I am trying to do.
Thanks Rotary :)
Hey Rotary, it seems that I have an error on the DVD Cam Disc that I am trying to copy, that's why it won't capture into Roxio. I tried some other DVD Discs that I recorded, and it seems that they are working just fine. I appreciate you effort to help me though.
if he video is of great importance to you, then just look at the folder and copy and paste the VOB files of the movie to your hard drive...
if you want it to work reply to the thread i will show you how to make it work, its not hard at all...
if the vobs copy across it should work out?
also you you shouldnt need to rip your own fims with DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter there wont be any protection you can just cope and paste to your hard drive...
