sitcom123

Help, I am a complete numpty when it comes to following wrtitten instructions on anything technical!!! it doesnt seem to matter how often I read the instructions I always get in a mess. I have a canon dc100 camcorder that i bought for a recent holiday. I have used ll the discs now and i have to finalize the disc it says before I can play them on dvd. I have followed the instructions to finalize but i cant play the discs on either my dvd or computer, it just says not readable may not be compatible with windows. Have I done something really stupid??? I only bought the discs a few weeks ago and they are maxell dvd-rw video re- recordable. Any help would be gratefully received

I had a similar problem with a Samsung DVD camcorder and DVD-RW discs. I found switching to DVD-R worked.

Can the computer read them at all, right click the rom drive and click open rather than trying to auto play the disc are there files in there?

just a quick update and more help needed. God I hate technie stuff. I have managed to finalize the discs and have just played a couple on the computer and they are fine, No idea how they started to play as it all came up automatically, not that prompt to play the disc has gone and i dont know how to get it back!!! When i put my disc in the computer I go to my computer and click on the open canon dvd and it brings up a folder which says dvd-rtav what is that all about???? when I click on that it brings up 2 other icons
