Finalizing a disk

Jun 30, 2008

-   My mother_in_law has been kind enough to use her LG dvd/vcr recorder to transfer a VHS to DVD for me. The DVD then plays on her machine but won't play on any other dvd player.

We followed the instructions in the manual. We recorded onto a DVD-R. Any ideas?-   annsteverson

-   Every time I try to finalize a DVD-R or RW disk, finalization fails. I have wasted a number of disks and still can't resolve the problem. After I try to finalize and it fails, the disk is no longer readable. I can find no solution to this or discussion about this in the manual.-   Guest

-   I purrchased the LG RC 199H in November of 2006 at Best Buy ( for $300!!). As of December 2007, it will not play any discs. I get the message "cannot read disc." This machine was not used much to begin with, and I am reluctant to spend another $69 to fix it. Is there a solution to this problem that can be done at home?? After this experience, I do not think I want anothe LG product!! There customer service is not great either!-   AL908

-   I have the LG Model RC199H which is a VCR/DVD recorder that won’t recognize my discs anymore. I bought this unit from Circuit City on 8/20/06 The discs I am using are the Sony DVD-R and also Maxell DVD-RW and also the HP DVD-R. I have previously used these manufacturers discs and they worked fine. The recorder won’t allow me to initialize them, and occasionally the tray will open back up and the error “disc unrecognizable” appears. I have shut the machine off and pulled the plug. Then I replugged it and used the Memorex CD/DVD disc recorder Optidisc cleaning disc and it still won’t work. Help!
