Anyhow there might be several reasons for your problem: laser lens dirty, DVD scratched or meanwhile faulty (even DVDs have a lifespan), other mechanical (e.g. lens does not move) or technical problems.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>2) In case your DVDs are finalised you should be able to read them with any DVD drive built-in or connected to your PC. If they're not finalised you'll be in trouble. Normally you'll need a working camera (same model as yours) to finalise DVDs in that case. I've read of people trying to finalise their disks using a PC DVD burner but to no avail. Well,&nbsp;<A href="https://www.isobuster.com/isobuster.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IsoBuster</A>&nbsp;might be worth a look. At least it says that it can read from open sessions and a DVD not being finalised contains open sessions. There's a test version available so that you could see whether it would be working for you at all (some PC DVD readers throw out disks which are not finalised, a DVD burner is more likely to accept those disks).</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Hope that this helps you further.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Cheers<BR /><BR />darkframe</P> Wed, 06 May 2020 19:34:17 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/camcorders/my-habdycam-dcr-dvd92e/m-p/3657122#M5686 darkframe 2020-05-06T19:34:17Z
