I made a video with my camcorder.I came home, watched it on my tv, then I went and burned 2 copies for my friends. The 3rd time I went to make a copy I tried to edit some of the video. I burned it like the other 2. It didn't make a 3rd copy and now it won't play on my tv or computer. But if I put it in my camcorder it plays in there??
Can this be fixed? It is a video of my son's state track meet that his team won!!!

My camcorder disc must be finalized in the camcorder before it will play on anything else. Might this be a problem ?

I just put my CD back in my camcorder and hit finalize. It said that it is already finalized. I can finally get it to play on my camcorder and my computer but not on my TV.

So, what you're meaning here is that now your standalone dvd player won't play the disc?

What's the media brand and format. ( plus R or dash R)

try using ISO Buster to read the disc's files on your pc. If it can read the disc's files(see them), then extract them and open them up in DVD Shrink to rebuild them into an image. then burn the image back to dvdr. It shouldn't matter if you are using dvd-r or dvd+r, most dvd players and computer drives can read both formats. Its just the camera that might need ethier dvd-r or dvd+r.

Not 100% sure if this is a problem for you, but it helps to have a home DVD player that reads multi formats of discs. This has saved me a many of headache.
