Problem of Format DVD, convert VCR DVD

I am convert family videos to video tape to DVD using a Toshiba DVR.  I want to make copies of these using my laptop (Sony Vaio, Windows 7).  I copied some files on my hard drive and then burned a DVD using Windows Explorer.  The burned copy would not play on my computer or my normal DVD player. When I try to burn a disc using Windows DVD Maker, Windows Media Player, or Windows Media Center, they would not even recognize the data were there (a problem of format?). But Windows Explorer I would like to burn a disc. I can play the video file that is in my hard drive using Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center, so there is something that the computer recognizes. Why other DVD players cannot play these files?  What is a format problem? From what I can tell they are. IPO or. BUP or. VOB format. There was some error messages about the codec used to compress the file. Could this be something to do with the format or how my machine is burning the disc? Or, more likely, this is the format the Toshiba Burns videos from the video tape?

=========================================
Trying to copy DVDs by extracting the files, converting them
compatible formats and the use of DVD authoring software
to burn on DVD can be a lot of time, problematic
task.

What if all you want to do is to copy the DVD created by the
Toshiba DVR... See the following simple solution.

The freeware ImgBurn can create an ISO Image
that allows to burn copies. Once you have the
image created... you can use it to burn as many copies
as you need.

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Ignore most of the download buttons and click to the left of the
green circle with the white arrow... He says...
«Click here to download»

Download ImgBurn:
http://www.Digital-Digest.com/software/download.php?sid=470&SSID=0&did=1
(The download is: SetupImgBurn_2.5.7.0.exe)

(During the installation there will be an option to install
Shortcuts of UniBlue and the "Ask Toolbar"... you can
you want to deselect those)

can be played on your computer with free software

  • Unable to format DVD R/W

    Model HPPav 500-210qe

    Windows OS 8.1

    Intel I5 processor

    SuperMulti DVDWR

    Everything works fine except formatting DVD W/R. When you try to format a DVD R/W, the band of 'My PC', in the upper part of the screen slowly scrolled from right to left, parks in the "X" at the right end. The Panel to "Format" never shows any progress and the format never ends.

    If I interrupt the format, 'Cancel', a daughter window tells me that format can not be interrupted. Windows Explorer reports that it is inadmissible. If I agree to cancel Windows Explorer, I can eject the DVD, but it can not be opened, read or formatted.

    If I move the DVD to a Windows 7 PC, it cannot be opened, read or formatted. Return the DVD to Win 8.1 system and tempting to opening any function result in a blue screen. The recovery occurs in 2 or 3 minutes.

    I use DVD R/W for backup, but since purchasing this PC I couldn't reuse of my backup DVD.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Problem solved... It turns out that the DVD R/W cannot be re-written n times. The recordable layer is burned whenever the DVD is formatted. If I had thought about it I would have made "Burning" means exactly that; the data are burnt in the recordable media. It took a technician HP in Nova Scotia to point out what should be obvious.

    Again, I appreciate your efforts to help him.

  • Problem playing Movie DVD Maker

    "Movie Maker" to burn the DVD in the past. Everything worked fine and still play DVDs without problem. Manufacturing DVD now works fine all the way including "Overview". The burn process ends, but when I play the DVD (will play on any player) the video compressed on only half of the screen (horizontally) the bottom half is green. 'Menu' executives are also screened. The audio is good. Reset the filters 'default', but still have the same problem. Any ideas?

    Thank you for your response. On further investigation, I found that if the files have been marked ".avi", they were actually converted 'Divx' files. Used a program that can handle Divx files and dvd has proved that the fine. Again, thank you for your response.

  • Satellite P30 turn off - also problems with burning DVDs

    Hi Please help me.
    I had a row with my brother and it won't help.

    My Pc is only a year old and it turns off. I would say it was because of overheating, but he just did and it isn't really that hot.
    I put on the books, not on my knees, keep him away heat, crash back to the desktop.
    It makes me crazy, please, any help or advice or anything like that would be a great help.

    I also have problems with my dvd burner, always, he gets to about 17% and said that there is a mistake, thought it was the discs but surely it can be all 100 of them, I tried turning on and off but no use.
    Also the advice would be great!

    Please help a girl in need of a working Pc! Who does not know a lot of technical stuff!

    Hello

    Overheating problems usually occur because the cooling module cannot work properly.
    Fans are unable to work because of the dirt and dust inside the laptop.
    The best way to clear the fans is to use the vacuum cleaner.

    On the problems of DVD writer: well, it's not easy to say why it happens. Have you checked media dvd from different manufacturers? Many CD/DVD media works differently, and you should check it out.
    In addition, there is a problem with the burning software. I put t know what application you're using, but you should try to use Nero. It's very nice software and I m very happy. Check it out

  • Having a problem with my DVD player with regard to media playback

    Hello

    I have recently had problems with my DVD ROM read drive media correctly, when I put in a computer game (lets say Star Craft 2 as an example at random) Autorun makes me up some options and says it's an image and request either 1.) Open the files and view them, or 2.) See all photos in Windows and some other similar options.
    It will not recognize the game as a game and will not bring up the menu to install the game or whatever it is, sorta solve this problem I put the automatic run settings so that it opens files in the photo (since it is the software game image processing) and once he opens the folder I click on the installation program manually.
    I checked my driver to ensure that it is up-to-date.
    For any help or suggestion will be welcome.

    SOLVED!

    I found out with a little research it was Vista blocks the autorun.inf files in games and keep them to read and run the .exe files automatically and so he held a photo, thank you for the help and suggestions.

  • SOLVED problem with my DVD/CD _

    Hello

    I have a problem with my DVD/CD. Although Device Manager says, "this device works properly.". It does not at all.

    I'm very suspicious of the cable connections. The cable has been severely pinched by my grandson. It did not close, and instead to find the cause, he forced its closure.

    So what I want to know is if I can buy the cable online and install it myself.  I have searched but cannot find a place to buy one, and although I searched on the Dell site, I couldn't find anything there either.

    Thanks for reading...

  • Problems with the DVD on Pavilion dv6-2010sa

    HP Pavilion dv6-2010sa laptop computer (under Windows 7 x 64), I bought less than a week ago.

    I started the disk recovery software to back up my OS in the event of future disasters.

    I used a DVD + disc, so it would take 3 discs to do the recovery disks.

    First DVD completed successfully. Software asked me to enter the disk 2.

    This is where I started to have problems.

    Drive recovery software couldn't recognize my blank dvd +.

    The drive makes a lot of noise, but then stopped making noise.

    I tried a few other DVDs +, but to no avail.

    I rebooted the computer laptop and tried but same problem.

    So I tried to play a dvd movie to see if it was the disk recovery software or the dvd player.

    He would not play a dvd movie.

    I also tried to play an audio CD but the same problem.

    The drive icon appears in Windows Explorer, but does not display any info (or open the CD / DVD) when I have a CD or a DVD in there.

    So it seems to be a problem with the DVD-> grateful not any CD / DVD

    If someone can advise?

    PS. I searched the driver DVD (so I could Reinstall driver) but the HP Web site does not contain the driver for 2010sa (DVD software only)

    Thanks in advance

    Gary

    Problem solved.

    Uninstall the device dvd player:

    -Device Manager > do a right-click post dvd/cd player > uninstall the device

    Restart the laptop and OS will reinstall the driver and the DVD/CD drive should start working again (well this is what has happened to me)

  • Problem with still DVD CS6. Cancellation writing disc

    Hello. I need help - I have a problem with Encore DVD CS6. When the DVD disc is written the end of the process program cancel displays this text: "Still could not complete the operation due to an error in hardwar (detection code 40902)" it is in mac os. In windows, the problem is the same but the detection code is 300200. What is it?   Disk space is sufficient.

    As a test, generate an image rather than burn them to a disc.

    Sense errors are usually, but not always material.

    You use the same drive (external?)? Are you using the same disks? (Sense code errors can be disks.)

    Many of us don't burn ever with still, using ImgBurn for PC or for Mac toast.

  • What is the best/best format to convert avchd, for editing?

    What is the best format to convert avchd 1920/1080, for editing purposes?

    I tried to convert HDV but did not like the quality. I then tried to convert avchd files raw in mpeg2 @ 35 Mbps. It of much cleaner, but makes it slow, about 1-1 ratio.

    looking for a codec that is quick to convert & clean.

    I have aPC, Win 7, 6 cores, 32 GB ram, Raid 0, fast cuda card ect...

    AVCHD has the same as DV data rate, so shuttle that quickly will be not a problem hard drive, even a single disc, and still less a RAID 0 array.  If he stutters, it's one thing to CPU.

    Conversion to another format will increase the flow of data significantly, requiring your RAID to redouble their efforts.  However, the CPU will probably work less, so this could solve the stuttering.

    You can still add all the elements of a sequence and then add this sequence in the Source monitor for editing as if it were a long clip.

    Having said all that, if you still feel the need to convert then I recommend the free and the UT lossless codec.  You can export the clips combined pp right, and new media will not suffer no loss of quality due to the conversion.

  • External hard drive does not work. Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

    My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

    I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

    Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

    I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives a
    error in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

    So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button his
    gives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .

    So is there any other way or option?
