Thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,my pc will now recognize the data on the disk after
finalizing it. I am trying to use 123copydvd to copy the home movie to
another DVD-RW, but it will not let me. It says you must put in a
writable DVD. If I just click ok it gives me the same message. I want
to be able to give my relatives a copy so they can play it on their TV
recorder.

I never use RW discs, but I think they need to be formatted before you can
write to them even in a computer burner.

If you are giving away the copies, you can use +R or -R discs; they're
cheaper and no formatting needed.
