hello ppl i backed up a few avi movie files into a dvd+r and when i tried to retrieve it in my new sys the sys reads it as blank dvd....but there is data written in it as the layer shows so.....is there any possible way to retiurve my data.... on the other hand i was able to retrieve data from dvd-r......btw i am using LITE-ON SHM-165P6S to read these data......i was never able to read the dvd+r even in the drive in which i burned it(Pioneer)
i think its the Pioneer drive it probably doesnt like the DVD+R format stick with the DVD-R . you cant booktype DVD+R with a Pioneer drive i do know that
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdwriters...om=&bdrom=&orderby=Name&hits=25&Search=Search here is your drive on Videohelp.com. It shows that your drive is capable of reading and writing on DVD+R media. now you must ask yourself what program did you use to burn those AVI files to disk. Maybe it didn't finalize the disk and so you can't see what's on there until you finalize your disk. Using Nero sometimes sets the burning process to MULTISESSION. If you didn't uncheck that the disk is not finalized and you can finalize it and then view the movie! That's just one thing...... untill you say what program you used, what brand of media did you use, I can't tell what you did and I'm just guessing....... more info please.
>>on the other hand i was able to retrieve data from DVD-R.... There is no reason to worry about booktype when he's talking about what appears to be AVI's saved as data, nor should finalizing matter.
I beg to differ, MysticE. Just because Jibril5 was able to retrieve data from a DVD-R..... doesn't mean that the DVD+R was done the same way as the DVD-R, which can be read!~ Sooooooo I stand by my first statement about multisessions or Finalization as a possible cause of the problem and I
@ IHoe You seem to be splitting hairs here. Are you saying to be readable in a computer a DATA disc has to be finalized?
I'm not splitting hairs..... we don't know what this person did so we can only guess......and I don't know whether the one disk is a data disk or DVD compatible files (Vob)..... all I'm saying is we need more info to make a more informed response!
guys please.......i will be happy if u guys dont argue over my prob....but help me with ur solutions two is better than one..... i know i used a dvd+r called a1pro....i know its crappy....but i used the same brand in dvd-r which i am able to read.....i used nti cd-dvd maker....to burn em......i dont remember finalising it.....btw i really dunno wat u mean by 'booktyping'?
@ IHoe Sorry, I was in one of my moods. @ jibril5 Did you actually check for the true maker of the media (DVDIdentifier works well for this)? I have Imation -R's that are made by Fuji and Imation +R's that are made by MBI (not exactly the best maker). As a side note I have Fuji -R's that are actually made by ProDisc, go figure. If this is an isolated incident it's not worth worrying about. The disc not being read by the burner that created it is also a bad sign. I routinely tick 'verify data on disc after burning' for any sensitive files I'm saving.

>> Mitsubishi Chemical Corp Well it ain't crappy media. MCC's about as good as it gets. >> ...it still shows as blank dvd....is it possible if i add a small file and finalise it I doubt it and finalization only applies to DVD Video that you want to play on a standalone player. I guess you could could try to burn something to it and untick any multisession option.
hey there is a new status in my dvd....when i tried to open nero to write a file....the files that i burned already burned are visible with a red X mark on the icon part....but when right the file the option to copy is one on the display but i am not able to paste it to the hdd.....can i go ahead and burn it n try?
hoooray it worked thanks guys....its working....\the files were displayed on nero....all i did was add a file and burned it....the file i added wasnt displayed though....but the prev files are ready to retrieve i did retrieve....thanks guys....sorry if i caused a rift between iHoe n Mystice
well i jus got excited....2 of the 3 dvds worked....the last one is not even detecting as a blank dvd......nothing happens....its a shame ....but well the other 2 worked
