[FONT="]I’ve a dvd shot on a Sony camcorder (a Handycam ? (i.e. directly to a mini dvd)); the dvd plays fine in my dvd player; I can copy it to the dvd player’s hard disk, play it from there; and copy it to a blank dvd and play it. But when I try to play it on my PC the PC doesn’t recognise any file and says the disk is empty (properties shows: used space 0 bytes, free space 0 bytes, total space 0 bytes) etc. As there is definitely a file of some sort (a VOB ?) on the dvd I assume that this is some sort of copy protection that fools Windows into thinking that the dvd is empty. Is there anyway around this? The dvd is of a family event – it’s not a commercial dvd. Surely copy protection is not enforced on home dvds shot on a camcorder?
