- we have encountered this problem at least 4 times. when we were currently recording or having a movie pictorial, a part of the handycam was accidentally touched and a message that says "disc accidentally opened" and "recording disable" after that all the previous pictorial/recording vanished. we had no way of retrieving the very important event recorded on cam.

- My daughter in Australia has the DCR-DVD605 and has copied the folder/file to her computer. She can play it with Cyberlink. She would like to separate the chapters so she can post to Snapfish and I can see them in Canada.
She has done exactly this with a Cell phone video and it worked great.
Would you please give us some steps to follow.
Thanks.- Bypass35

The disc needs to be finalized before you play it on other equipment.
But to do this will render the disk unusable- If you intend to record over it in time,
So it is best to copy the info across to the PC- burn that to a disk and finalize it then most other DVD players[Not all] will run it.

- OK got you meaning now - was not that clear 1st time.
Can you copy the disk in the camera to a folder on the computer?

Then burn a disk with the folder contents as I initially said.
