Few months ago I have bought a Samsung Mini DVDCamcorder type: VP-DC171 Camcorder has no USB to PC connection possibilities, other than via PC TV video card, which I do not have on my PC.
It only has a triple red ?yellow ? white audio/video connection to connect it to the TV.
Along with camcorder I have bought a pair of Mini Verbatim DVD-R discs.
In the user manual there are following characteristics:
Video signal PAL Recording Quality XP (about 9Mbps), SP (about 6Mbps), LP (about 3Mbps) ? I have used SP mode.
Picture Compression format MPEG-2 When I shoot some material and finalize it, I can play that same material without any problems on my TV.
But when I put a Mini DVD-R to my PC it becomes invisible! Physically it is there ? I can see an icon that PC DVD is loaded, and when I do a right click mouse to properties card, there is a picture showing that a disc is full and finalized.
But again:
None of the following programs does not see the disc (they only see a blank space at the F: drive-DVD drive): 1. Total Commander 2.Windows commander
3.Daemon tools lite
4.AVS DVD Player
5.G Spot
6.Kate`s video converter
7. Power DVD
8.DVD Decrypter ?can see physically the disc, but not the files inside it.
I have downloaded a driver for that gamma of models directly from manufacturer?s website, and installed them.
My DVD drive model is Pioneer 111 .It does not have a newer firmware that that which are already inside it.
My question is:
Is there are any possibility to make a material on Mini DVD visible in my PC without TV video card , and what is the appropriate program ( freeware by any chance ) to convert that material to some type of file that could be visible to my PC without any problems ( avi , wmw , ????) ?
Thankfully

Prevoiously I had one recorded Mini DVD-RW disc in SP mode also , but with same accidents happening ...........
I will try XP mode to see if that would resolve the problem.
Thanks.
