Question:
I have a Sony camcorder, mini DVDs that I have had 3 different discs tell me there is a “Disc Error” prior to finalizing disc. I am not even able to view disc on camera (to then possible burn to another DVD). It doesn’t allow me to do anything with disc, yet you can see that info. has been recorded on the DVD. If you have any advice, it would be greatly appreciated (besides the fact that I need a new camera!).
