I inserted a FULL DVD into my DVD drive. The drive was was showing that the dvd disc was empty. So I put the disc in my standalone dvd player and it read it, inserted it back in the computer's drive, it said empty. I inserted a cd, it played ok. I ripped a dvd not more than a month ago on the same drive. Does anyone have a clue?
I must confess that I'm not mush of a computer whiz. If everything works I'm fine but if something doesn't work I'm in trouble.
Thanks
Steve
What is the brand name/format/and speed rate of those blank discs?
What is the brand name and model # of that DVD-RW drive?
Single dvd drive or dual drives?
How fast were they burned?
The mid code from your media will help. Use neroinfotool/dvd decrypter/dvdidentier/or dvdinfopro to find that MID code.
Thanks saugmon for responding! I found my problem, I transferred a lot of my VHS tapes to DVD (on my stand-along combo VHS/DVD recorder, I thought I finalized all of the DVD but I forgot these two. I finalized them and then they were reconized by my DRU 530A.
Pretty dumb, huh.
But now I don't know how to burn DVD (certain chapters) to my HD. I have Nero, DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, but I never seen anything telling me how to burn chapters to my HD. As you can tell I am a novice at this, but we all have to learn sometime.
Thanks again,
Steve
