WhenI try to view a DVD R that I use for training it will not play it

If you normally use this DVD in a computer or laptop to view your training, that may be the problem. DVD players that are used to view movie DVDs must be "finalized" after recoding in order to be playable on non-PC type DVD players.

I CAN NOT TRANSFER FROM THE CAM TO COMPUTER I HAVE WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL AND MY COMPUTER SAYS THAT THE FORMAT ON DVD IS NOT SUPPORTED

Hi,

There are three ways of transferring the videos from the Camcorder to the Computer. One is by using the Picture Motion Browser Software, other by using the A/V, USB cable after finalizing the disc in the Camcorder and finally using the DVD-ROM Drive in the Computer after finalizing the disc. If you're trying to transfer using the 2nd and 3rd option, the the disc in the Camcorder should be finalized.

Also make sure that the disc is formatted in DVD-Video mode instead of DVD-VR mode. VR mode recorded discs can only be played back using a VR Compatible Software/Player or in the same Camcorder. DVD-Video mode recording will help you in playing the discs in all the Players and DVD Viewing Software.

I always recommend transferring the videos to the Computer using the supplied PMB Software.

Please check transferring steps and information from the link given below:

DVD plays in DVD player is not seen at all by Windows XP

Hi,it's obvious from your problem that the particular disc that cannot be viewed on your computer is of a formatt not supported by the windows XP.some DVDs are of low quality which can be viewed practically on any DVD player but as a result of their low quality and the sensitivity of the Windows they are not recognized by your computer. In as much as other DVDS play on your computer,it means there's no problem with your computer,but an unsupported disc formatt is been trying to be viewed and there's nothing you can do to view a DVD formatt not supported by your computer.please don't be bothered.
Thanks and take care

Unaible to down load vidio data from canon dc310 to my pc

Try to copy directly Your camera disc to conventional DVD, without downloading files to computer. It is possible with Nero Burning Rom in a disc copy mode. And before it, try to play an original at Your DVD player, or from the camera direcly to TV. If it works, then make a direct copy as well. Another solution is insert original dvd to computer and copy all carpets directly from dvd to HDD. Then, using MPEG Streamclip (free program) test Your files. If You can see the image - perfect. Any video can be converted a DVD format without problem.

You need to finalize the disc before trying to play it in any other DVD Component.

Please try to copy the videos in the Camcorder to a Computer. Then, burn the videos from the Computer to a DVD disc using any burning software in the Computer. Then, try to play that DVD disc in the DVD Player.

Viewing a recorded DVD+R on PC

I am assuming you have an actual dvd drive of some sort installed in your computer. The problem you may be having is a missing codec. This problem can be solved by downloading a VLC player which has most needed codecs pre installed. This program is freeware and can be easily found online. I hope this helps. Good Luck!
