I'm not sure if this happens as a result of the media or not but it seems that about 15% of my DVD-R disks are failing to finalize. It happens when I'm in the process of finalizing the DVD. The media brands are Princo and Taiyo Yuden. When I place the DVD in the drive, the EH50 starts going to work, as it gets going, it begans to create a scraping noise like the disk is spinning around and scraping the inside of the tray. I assumed that this was normal. But then I discovered that the finalizing always failed when it made this noise. So ,not sure what to think. I have about 300 unfinalized DVD's that I'm now concerned about. One of the solutions I tried was to make a copy of the 'finalized-failed' disk to another disk (using Nero on a PC) to see if I could try to finalize that one. In some cases that worked, but mostly didnt work or couldn't copy.
The problemed disk seems to show the video contents and plays thumbnails with no problem, on the EH50. So when the finalized-failed disk is placed in the EH50 drive, it runs and I can watch the individual chapters with no problem. But the EH50 will not finalize it.
I have several questions:
1. Is there third party way (by means of a PC) of finalizing disks created on the EH50?
2. Once the DVD-R is considered not "finalize-able", is there a way to dub that content from that disk back onto the HDD of the EH50?
