Hi,
A couple of months back I created a video DVD from various home video clips using the Windows DVD creator software.
All was fine. It played in my PC and it played in my DVD player. My PC required a rebuild and now the only copy of these videos I have are on this DVD, so I tried making a backup.
When I put the DVD in my PC (Running Windows 7 Pro) it states that the DVD is blank and asks me how it should use it (e.g. in the same way as a USB drive). Worried that I'd lost all of my video, I put it in my standalone DVD player, and it plays fine.
So that's the problem. I've got a DVD which plays fine in any standalone DVD player (I've tried a few), but shows as blank in either my PC or laptop DVD drives.
Obviously the data is there, and I'm sure the disc was burned correctly, if not, how could it play in a standalone dvd player?!
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this? I've tried various DVD burning utils, but as soon as you browse to the DVD drive I get the same "This DVD is blank, how do you want me to treat it" message.
