Page 1 of Do I have to finalize my camcorder to dvd rw to watch it on my pc as camera wont` allow me

I have a Canon dvd camcorder and it won`t allow me finalize my dvd rw - is it because I only have a few minutes footage - does the disk have to be full? Or is it something completely different - any help greatly appreciated!

i think if its a dvd + rw it is not necessary to finalise it.

You could be right about not needing to finalize it but it still doesn`t play on my computer. Any other suggestions - has anyone come accross this problem before?

can your dvd drive in your pc read dvd rw +/- discs ok , most of the newer ones will read all types ,it was just a possibility that your dvd drive in your pc may not be able to read dvd rw +/- discs.have you tried the disc in another pc .are you sure its a dvd rw and not a dvd ram disc that is in the camcorder,it could even be something simple like a faulty disc. whats the model of the camcorder.
