Re: URGENT Sony Hanycam Disc Error
No. A CD player, won't read a DVD. Different format, and media. You MUST have a DVD player for the PC to read anything from a DVD. No software, to my knowledge can do this from a CD player.
I recommend you buy an internal DVD player. They are cheap, and then you can play CDs, or DVDs.

said by rusdi  :said by Rob A : Can you put a mini 1.4 dvd-r in a regular cd-rom drive? I wasn't aware of this. Yes you can. Directly in the center of the drive tray is a smaller diameter indentation, that accommodates the 1.4 GB disk. EDIT: But, it won't play in a CD player.  And regular PCs read them? Do I need a special software to read it?

said by normat :I'd see if you can try it in several PCs. Perhaps one can read the disk. Someone brought over a miniDVD handycam disk that had the same problem for me to try on my PCs last week. No luck though. I tried it in 3 drives. That's a risk with recording directly to DVD R. I wonder if there is software out there that can extract the raw data to get past the bad parts?
