Disc Error I am trying to finalize my disc and it is saying disc error. I was able to view the photos on the camera. Never had this problem before. DESPERATE TO GET THESE PHOTOS.

Recording tv program or duffing none codes dvd disc,must wait it for finalizing code done completely before can take it out or can be watching it on the same DVD recoder player or a compatible one.Record other disc,just must wait the disc to completely finalizing it final codes,the disc should play with no problems.

The disc is corrupt, and therefore unusable.

This is Disc Access Error, Disk Access Error, Check disc error, Check disk, C error unreadable, disc error code 13, disk error code c1302, c:13:O2 DISC ERROR, Disc Error C:13:02 message Sony mini dvd finalize error code C1302 DVD not finalised, Rec Disabled Record Disable after dropping the camera, DVD not finalized, DVD Disc not finalized, DVD Disk not finalized, DVD Disc not finalised, DVD Disk not finalised, Disc won't finalize, Disk won't finalise DVD Disc Error, DVD Disk Error, DVD Disc Format Error, DVD Disk Format Error, Rec. Disable, not correct disk, the disk in drive is not formatted do you want to format it now.

Use a separate cardreader to download your pictures.

You cannot see contents if finalise is not done.

this camera is a gem! try finalizing the disc using nero burning software or any alternative. but dont try this on the disc that has your important pictures for safety reasons.

Repair will probably run from $180. to over $250. You can try to gently clean the lens with a Q-tip and cleaner.
This is a common problem with the Mavicas....The 400 and 500 models seem to last longer,but in the end..Sony has created another camera that despite it's price is a 'throw away camera" (just like the one's that used floppies)

if you get a disc error, DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR the data.

When you get a disc error, turn the camera off, turn the camera back on. When prompted to repair the data, select NO.

The camera should prompt you to Format the disk, select no.

you should go back to a normal camera screen, at this point push the FINALIZE button on the outside of the camera to finalize the disc.

This is your only option to save the data.

Never try to repair the bad data, it never works.

I have done this on two occasions, and it worked both times.

the c:13:01 is the error code. I was researching this same thing on my camera. It 'magically' fixes itself after anywhere from 1 minute (turn off, count to 20 and turn back on)to 1 month later. This time, I lost photo-ops with my kids and their cousins. Apparently, this is a loose connector - see link- and you can fix it by 1) smacking your camera around a little (no joke, this knocks the connector back, for a little while or 2) sending it to Sony for repair (about $350) or 3) follow this guy's suggestions and fix yourself. I haven't lost any actual photos, except the first time when this happened. Since then, I've put the CD in the computer and I've been able to pull off the pics. Can't use the CD again though, even if it's not full. The camera must mark the CD somehow to avoid overlaying photos(?). Anyway, here's the link and good luck :) http://www.pechorin.com/m/2003/07/12/SONY_C1301_ERROR-202719-43.html

I've had some errors on my discs. What I've found is after you finalize them, if there is still room on the disc you can initialize then and use the empty space still on them. This can also fix some error, and I don't know why.
