Can't access the DVD-R

Hi
I have a Pavilion dm4 laptop and I'm trying to access pictures , from a TDK DVD-R disk which I used in the Sony DCR-DVD605 camera , without using the usb cable = thrying to copy them derectly from the disk , but the computer doesn't see any pictures on the disk , the camera sees them though , the computer can see the disk it self but no data on it.
So if anyone can help me with this prob . I would be very glad.
THX
I asked this Q on yahoo answer and someone told me that I need the software of the camera - I dont know what's the connection between the blank disk in the laptop and the camera though

How did you burn the files to disc? What file extension? This is a DVD drive that supports +/- R, right?

 

[freezman]

like I said I was making videos and photos with a Sony DCR-DVD605 camera (I'm not realy sure what burn files mean) also I'm not sure if the dvd drive supprots both + and - . I'm not realy good at that stuff

This is the driver info from dxdiag :
Drive: F:
Model: hp CDDVDW TS-U633F
Driver: c:\windows\system32\drivers\cdrom.sys, 6.01.7600.16385 (Russian), , 0 bytes

freezman, Welcome to SF. I would leave the disk in the camera and then connect the camera via it's usb provided cable. This may require you to load software provided with the camera or it may not? Worst case you can try going to Sony and search for the drivers/software off the support site. I tried but the site didn't see this model.

I dont have the cable and I just can't understand why the pc can't read the data on the disk - this is the problem

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Should be a standard usb cable which likely you have many of or possibly a mini usb and I would order it.

What happens when you place a blank TDK disk in the drive?

 

[freezman]

I dont have a blank TDK disk - The camera is my grandmothers , she has the cable , other disks , but i needed to send my sister a photo of a document with a press ( or stamp ((not those on the mail))) but now i kinda don't need that anymore i'm just curious now - why its not working

 

[freezman]

when i put my TDK disk with the photos the drive recognizes the disk , i have the options to write data on it , but no data on the disk - its blank - at least the laptop thinks it is

 

[linnemeyerhere]

What is the connection on the camera is it usb?

 

[freezman]

well probably

 

[freezman]

the question is can the laptop read the photo disk - I mean like ussualy ???

 

[SledgeDG]

The problem seems to be, that the disc itself isn't finalized yet. That way the camera can still add more pics to it, on the other hand "normal" drives have occasionally problems to read those disks.
AFAIK RECUVA doesn't work on CDs/DVDs so you could try to read that disc with ISOBuster
