20 Most Recent Panasonic VDR-D100 DVD Camcorder - Page 5 Questions & Answers

The problem will be with the mode. If you are using the VR mode for replay, it will not delete the scenes usually if the DVD is other than Panasonic. Try the other mode

Here are the steps (please consider that these are the directions to the Movie Factory, so if you get the Ulead Studio Studio, expect it to vary slightly, probably not too much though)

1) First, it is best to finalize the DVD before editing. This can be done on any type (-R, RW, even RAM I believ, but I have never tried it on RAMs).
-in order to finalize, you must put the DVD into the camcorder and hook it up to its A/C adapter (the wall plug). Find the finalizing but and set your camcorder down (shaking it while finalize may disrupt the process)

2) Eject the DVD from the camcorder and put it into the E-Drive of the computer (the CD/DVD drive)

3) launch Ulead. Creating a new project

4) Once the program opens and you have your basic editing window (with a timeline and all), look for a button that says something like, "import from video DVD", which will allow you to transfer your footage from the DVD to the program, where you can edit.

5) Once you are finished editing, you'll want to export your movie, creating an .avi file, which turns the project file into a standard video file

Hope that wasn't too confusing. I know it seems like a hassel, but its not too bad. Ulead is quite a good program, and its very inexpensive. You can explore other options, but the only one I have found so far to support DVD formats is the Ulead systems.

Hope that helps

a panasonic dvd cam needs a/c power to finalize a disc- -r have to be finalized to play in other players beside camcorder-you can not delete video or reuse -r -rw usually don't have to be finalized and you can play them on ther devices-you can reformat or unfinalize -rw to reuse and you can edit or delete on rw

Just change it to the green play picture not the one with the red camera.

to finalize the disk for enabling discs to be  played on other devices. Connect this unit to the AC adaptor. Finalization cannot be executed using a battery. Rotate the mode dial to select the arrow. Press the MENU button, then select SETUP, FINALIZE, YES and press the joystick. Select whether or not to create a top menu, then press the joystick. When the confirmation message appears, select YES then press the joystick. hope this helps you. julie

is this a dvd cam? if so it will not delete, if u bought dvd rw then u can re-write over

I had the same problem for about an hour. I finally got it, though not sure how. I think it had something to do with the green button on the on/off switch. I pressed it down while at the same time pushing the on/off button down to "mode". When I went back to finalize it yet again, I got the option to select "Yes". Hooray!

**** a monkey jam

Maybe the battery is faulty have you tried other batterys on it and if so you should bring it to a shop it's usually easier when you actually see the problem than to talk over the internet.

your pc may install your cam automatically when you plug it in. if not you can probably download the software from their web site

you probable have a bad lazer or motor

I had the same error today. The solution is the manual. If you dont have the manual you can download it from panasonic. If I had my camera with me i would wlk you through the steps. Start by pressing the mune button. Just navigate through the setup area.

no solution as yet mine did exactly the same and i lost all of my information on the disc. Suggest remove battery and open in record mode, camcorder will say error with information and ask if you like to repair disc, press yes and continue as normal!

sounds like the latch mechinisem for the disc door have it repaired as soon as you can. hope this helps

No you can't get a free replacement. Batteries degrade with use and age, and bad storage makes them fail quicker.
