Finalised disk unreadable

Mine was run over by our excavator. I went to Best Buy and the tech department stated that the discs have to be finalized in the camcorder. I called Sony and they said the same thing but that I could sent the discs to them and they would finalized them for $60 per side. I got on ebay and bought the exact same model for $60 and finalized all the discs.

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.

Once you have "Finalised" your mini disk in your camera try playing it in your PC drive - it should work. The ability to play on a regular size DVD player depends on how modern your player is. Not all players accept DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD +-RW formats. Good luck.

If the disk has been finalised, it cannot subsequently be formatted. If it has been formatted, then it had not been finalised.

Try playing the problem disks on your PC. If they wont play and the "Finalised" disks do then try recording a further brief clip on the problem disk. If that works then attempt to "Finalise" again. Can you play the problem disks in the Camera by the way?

Import your videos from the "finalised" mini disks into Windows Movie Maker on your PC and then export all the content to a DVD on your PC.
Alternatively a disk copy facility such as "Nero" can be used.

your DVD drive should support UDF . try to install this software it should give your system the ability to deal with this cd

i advice you not to format the media from windows , use the tool in your camera

i am getting a disk access error in sony camcorder..Not able to record any further..pl. help

If the disk is finalized you cannot delete any clips - hence the term "FINALize"


If it is a DVD-R, try unfinalizing and then deleting the clip.

check for smudges on the disc or on the laser optic sensor. cleaning liquids and cleaning Disc kits may be found in Camera and PC stores. if you need extensive services we can provide the service manualat a reasonable cost.
