When I load the disc it comes up with "cannot read the disc-check the disc" I have a sony disc in there presently
SOURCE: turn on canon dc100 everything come up fine pop the disc in already, still say no disc
If the camera is still not working with DVD-R and DVD-RW discs you may have to have it repaired. Try resetting it first (the reset button is behind the battery) and that doesn't work you may have to have it repaired. I had the same problem and I took my camera to an electronics shop and they found that my CCD sensor is not working so it has to be replaced. The total cost for the repair is $140, ($50 for parts and $90 for labor)
SOURCE: no disc read on dc100
There are only 4 possible solutions,
1. Dirty or faulty discs, but as you've tried different discs this doesn't seem likely.
2. Condensation has developed in the camcorder, leave it in a dry indoor temperatured place for a couple of hours and try again.
3. Dirty lens won't let the laser read the disc. Look for lens cleaning camcorderkit in a store.
4. Manufacturing error
Hope this will help you.

It's possible that, for some reason, the disks aren't compatible. It can almost drive you crazy trying to figure out why. To find out for sure if this is the case, try some new Panasonic discs, with the same specifications as the old ones that worked, and see if they work. If they don't work, you're probably having a dvr issue with the laser lens or related parts within the camera. There are many issues with dvrs that develop over time, requiring replacement parts and service. In those cases, it's usually better to get a replacement camcorder. The new HDD camcorders are immune from a lot of problems inherent with dvr and tape recorders.
SOURCE: canon dc100 will not finalize memorex disc, which
make sure the power adapter is connected, you can not finalize on battery power alone. also make sure you are in playback mode...it will say original in the top left corner..then you should be able to finalize when you go into the menu
