dvd-rw camcorder discs
Recording DVD for editing on Panasonic 8cm format camcorder, which format should I use?
I’m filming a short (1-2 min) sequence for inclusion in a work DVD, but I want to ensure that the format will be correct.
I’m using a Panasonic camcorder which takes 8cm DVD-RW discs. When I insert a DVD, the camcorder asks if I’d like to format the disc, then asks if I’d like to format it for playing on a DVD player or for editing on the camcorder.
I’ve tried both options (format for DVD player / format for editing on camcorder), and they both seem to record shots fine, but my laptop reads the discs as blank, so won’t play / open them.
They will be edited by a film company, and I’ve emailed them for help, but can anyone help me? I’m filming the sequence in the morning and need some help before then!
Thanks everyone.
Ideally you wouldn’t be using a DVD camcorder at all – it’s a poor choice for editing. If you have to use it, format the disk for playing in a DVD player – the reason your laptop isn’t seeing the disk is that the disk needs to be finalised in the camcorder before anything else can play it.
