Few months ago I have bought a Samsung Mini DVD Camcorder 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
Alex

You should be able to see the files with Windows Explorer or My Computer. If you can't, there may be a problem with the disc.

Does this happen with all discs?

Also, if you want any quality at all, out of those miniDVD's, record at the XP quality, not SP.

Life is good!

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.

Get rid of Dameon Tools. That program is nothing but headaches.
