can anyone assist?
I bought a dvd recorder and last night recorded a prog off television.
On dvd+rw which is the format for the recorder. I wanted to save and edit the stuff I recorded but when I put into my pc dvd burner my pc freezes and I have to restart after removing the disk. any reason for this do you think?
thanks for help

324284 2005-02-12 01:57:00 What are you running on?? What OS?? ram etc?? And how exactly are u trying to edit it? What program are you using?

Did the dvd recorder finalise the DVD?? Or does it allow you to add to it on a PC, then finalise it? And whats your PC dvd burner?? dual format? + or - or what?

Speedy.
Im running win98se 500meg ram I use my dvd +/- writer/reader all the time. I burned the tv prog on a rw disk and I didnt finalize anything.. my pc dvd is +/- compatible. I have 100gb hdd.
The finalize setting, as far as I can tell, is only for Dvd+R not RW but you have more knowledge than I. Does this help my friend?

324286 2005-02-12 02:27:00 Ah ok Jazz . How big is the finished program on the DVD??

Is it greater than 4 GB?? Does it use up ALL of the blank DVD?

If so, I think Win 98 (since it's formatted in FAT32), has a limit of 4GB for files or something?? This maybe one reason why its crashing .

What program, on windows 98 are you using to edit the dvd from the recorder with?? Nero? other?

Look here for more info .
