I have a camcorder that recoreds on mini DVDs. I bought it after having trouble with tape systems. I have found that this system is also less than perfect. I have been using -RW discks and them copying onto 12cm disks. I recently bought some -r disks because of a few issues with making copies of disks. I think I have a small nick on one disk. This isssue was resolved with DVDFab which seems to be more forgiving than Nero, decrypter and other copy programs. However, my last disk, I have not been able to copy with anything. It looks like there is a smudge on the disk, but it does not come off. I am geting read errors.

Any ideas?

Hi!

Try the almost magical "ISOPuzzle" freeware DVD recovery program...
