File Cannot Be Edited

[boots]

I am capturing my video from a sony dcr dvd 108, when I try to use videowave and select a video file (MPEG2) I get a message that the file could not be edited therefore cannot be added to production. what am I doing wrong. I had not finalized my disc, is this required to capture and edit a file? I am using dvd + rw, if I finalize can I still reformat the disc and reuse it?

 

Also when I capture a video I am unable to save it to the video folder (it defaults to pictures) the message states the file must be registgered as a "viewed file" how do I do this?

 

thanks

Yes finalize the disc in the Recorder. Should work as hoped for then.

 

Any RW media can be erased and reused.

In addition to what Jim said, after you finalize the disc, put it in your computer DVD burner, and copy the files/folders to a new folder on your hard drive. Then open VideoWave, and bring in the .vob files, from the Video_TS folder, in the new folder in which you stored the files.
