Hi, I have handycam dcr-dvd92, bought in States.I live in Denmark My computer dosn't see recordings when I put the disc in. The only way of watching what I recorded id if I watch it on my cameras screen. Even if I conect it to tv still nothing. How to I change the format of recording or what should I do?

Hello kasix2104 - welcome to the Sony Forums

Before you remove the DVD from your camera, are you making sure to finalize the disc. Performing this step will make the DVD readable in a wide range of devices. Have a look at pages 30/31 of the manual which is available here:

Hello again

Not to worry - finalising a disc basically ensures that all of the data is readable by other devices i.e. it 'seals' the DVD so that the data cannot be altered without 'un-finalising' (if the media is rewritable).

Thanks,

Simon

Hello shilpipatra

My apologies but I answered your question in the other thread before seeing this one - therefore I now know that you have finalised the DVD before putting this into your DVD player or Laptop.

If you have a look at page 14 of the manual:

http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/2587623111.pdf

You will see that you may get better results by changing the recording format of the DVD from 'VR' to 'Video'. Also, you may get different results by using a different type/brand of blank DVD media. If you experiment with both of these factors hopefully you will get DVDs that are viewable on a wider range of devices.

Thanks,

Simon
