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.

Is there something I need to do to the new DVD-RW disk?
