I'm taking this directly from my post on yahoo answers because google, self help, even other forums have failed me :/ So please ttg come through for me!

I hate to ask about this, but I honestly can't figure out how to get this to work. I have a Hitachi camcorder which can record to mini dvds. I finalized those dvds and I cannot get them to run or be recognized on my computer at all.

It could be that my dvd drive can't read these small dvds, but I can't find any spec info on my drive to begin with. I'm using a TSST corp CDDVD TS-H653Z. I've tried updating drivers, and again, yes, the dvds are finalized. I place the disc in the drive and they're not even recognized at all.

So maybe I'm just not sure of how to import mini dvd content to a computer. If I can't use my optical drive to do so then please list alternatives that don't involve buying another. Or maybe I need some software?

Sorry for the confusion, but my computer won't recognize the dvd in the drive which makes it unable for me to transfer the files from the mini dvds to the computer. I'm almost positive my drive has support for them because the tray has a small circle which fits the minidvds perfectly.

some camcorders require a program to convert the format so that the PC can read it. But I dont use camcorder so I dont know where to get this program from. Again, its only some so maybee you know about it since you have one.

I was wondering that myself but I don't see anything that came with it specifying that nor do I see any reviews talking about it. From what I know finalizing the dvds should allow them to be readable...but that doesn't appear to be the case. Plus if the disc was recognized then I'd probably be able to convert the files or something
