Mini DVD Playback

[Thinkly]

I am having issues playing back DVD's created on a video camera. The drive is an LG DVD burner, and plays regular DVD's back fine. But when the Mini-DVD is inserted, it shows up as a DVD Camera, under D: drive.

Clicking on the drive reveals two folders. One says DVDcam and the other is the Video_TS folder. I put the Video_TS folder on the hard drive and tried to play it back via PowerDVD, and only audio is present. There is no video.

What is wrong? The mini-dvd plays fine in a stand alone player.

Howdy!

It should play fine in your LG drive since the mini-DVD plays ok in a standard DVD player. That confirms the DVD is finalized so that its compatiable with standard DVD playback format.

I would suspect that the LG drive might have a firmware problem not recognizing the mini-DVD that has been finalized to follow the DVD standard, and that it is getting confused somehow. Check LG website for any firmware updates that may address this.

Hi

I had the same issue when I updated the firmwear in my DVD burner. I lost the ability to read them out of my DVD handycam after finalization.

Check that if you've updated recently
