Sony mini dvd recovery - Sony DCR-DVD610 DVD Camcorder

Of course, Sony wants you to use only Sony blank media. :-)

See:

http://www.officedepot.ca/catalog/search.do?fkey=Vs5e55Pir7fdUMwpRkEqX2z&Ntt=mini+dvd-rw

for 1.4GB "mini DVD-RW" disks made by MEMOREX.

Look at any of the "big-box" stores (BestBuy, FutureShop, Staples, OfficeDepot, WalMart, et cetera) for "mini DVD-RW" media.

Once you erase a dvd-rw the information is gone and cannot be recovered.

you can recover your files with some professional data recovery program, download this one called asoftech data recovery that helped me before

use software for dvd creations like nero, roxio or any other, or try using pro's like ulead dvd movie factory for import your mini dvd's in the computer and create a new full dvd with the software. First close sesions of your mini dvd's with the same camcorder. remember when close sesion the mini dvd can't recorder more video.

for this you have to uuse some recovery software for cd and dvd

starling recovery software is best for this

yes you can download it from google ... search in google for CD/DVD Recovery , software u will get it...download, install and Recover..

calciummanda,
It may still able to retrieve, depending on how many times it has been recorded over. There are some good disc recovery software utilities out there now that you can load on your computer an then get the image back from the disc. It's not a guarantee that you can get it all or even some of it. Regular formatting does remove the data but the image on the disc is harder to remove, that's why the bad guys usually get their computers and discs confiscated because no matter how many times they erase their hard drives or Rewrite over the discs they can get the original image back (evidence) now you and I and the rest of the public only have access to less powerful recovery software. try this site: http://www.octanesoft.com/cd_dvd_data_recovery.html there are others like it so search for ; DVD recovery software.

If it is capable of reading DVD-R or DVD+R look at your manual it will tell you what formats it will take.

The demo will tell you if it worked or not, but won't let you save what it found. I bought the software (I think it was less than $20), and it worked just like it said. My dvd-403 frequently messes up the mini-disc whenever I try to eject it (says it's blank after I remove the disk from the camera). The software scans (I recommend the "full" scan) the mini-dvd, and then you can save the results to your hard drive. The only disadvantage is that it sometimes finds all the video...including footage previously "deleted". You then have to use an editing program to remove the footage you don't need.

Anyway, the software was well worth the money since it saved memories from a disc I thought would be a "coaster"!

Hope this helps!

i dont think that you can keep the menus from each mini dvd. but you can create your own dvd video with menu and at the same time you can merge all of your mini dvds. After you upload the mini dvd videos to your computer then use Nero 8 or 9 Software. On Nero look for dvd editable and browse your dvd videos then do as the instructions says to you. you should burn that with one DVD disc with menus of your own choice

cheers
