I tried inserting it, nothing happened. Is there a program I need to download to recover lost data?
edit - And for the record, this disc was not finalized before the error occured.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20020897 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 22:22:31 EDT Re: URGENT Sony Hanycam Disc Error http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20020579 normat : My DVD drives would read about 10% of the disk and then throw a read error. A DVD player was able to recover and continue playing after a glitch. It sounds like in your case the issue may be in a more critical area of the disk.

I wonder if there may be some sot of application or perhaps some way to read the raw data from a corrupted disk in Linux?

I lost some photos one time after a hard drive failure and the DVD backup I had couldn't be read back off the DVD disk. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20020579 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 21:35:49 EDT Re: URGENT Sony Hanycam Disc Error http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20020035 rusdi : 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.

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?

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?

I had 2 track meets recorded on it (one thurs, another saturday) and had viewed them a few times. After attempting to view them again tonight, I turned on the camera to get a "Movie Recording Disabled." error. I cannot view anything or record anything now. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I'm desperate, I CANNOT lose these videos.

I contacted sony and they couldn't help me because they said it was a disc error (all other discs work). They told me to contact DriveSavers as they recover lost data from DVDs. However, after contacting them they want to charge me $350 to recover data from a $3 1.4GB DVD-R. $350?! Are they crazy?

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Or atleast a cheaper solution? Please help!
