I don't know what you mean by "converting" VHS to DVD? Are you using Video Capture or are you doing the plu&Burn? 1. Plug and burn to DVD -RW and followed the instruction to allow the system to finalize the disk 2. Capture video to a file.................same process to allow the system to finalize the disk...Video 3 In both situations the vido will play back in windoios media.....but not on the disk......

Jim_Hardin Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Finalizing has nothing to do with it. (and technically 'dash' media cannot be finalize) Burning Rule of Thumb: If a disc plays anywhere, the burn is fine! That leaves the Player and the media. Look at the owners manual for your Player. Does it play –RW discs? What kind of media are you using? Hint – if it doesn't say Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden, it isn't worth bringing home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
