Canon DC210 DVD Camcorder - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

you can't do that, you need converting software such as, Adobe Premiere or Pinnacle or something similar that will allow you to download the vob and make your own movie to burn onto a larger dvd.

Unless you recorded in VR mode, then you will not be able to delete single video clips. The only option left for you is to "initialize" NOT "unfinalize" the disk, (warning: this will erase your ENTIRE disk). Once you initialize, you will have an empty disk to re-record on. VR mode allows more editing and delete options but DVDs recorded in this mode are not compatible on all dvd players.

If you had read the manual, it would probably have told you this. .It might be worth seeing if someone at your local friendly computer shop can assist you - they may have access to software that will help.

Check that the laser lens is not blocked with dust or debris, then if no go try factory reset from the camera's menu options.

There is in the same program, just follow the instructions

I don't know if there is any solution. The Canon DC 210 seems to have BIG BIG problems with finalizing, even for those who are plugged in and in Play mode.

Sorry, no.

The easiest way is to use a video editing program. Adobe Premiere Elements is a good example - it has a feature to allow you to quickly upload your videos directly to YouTube. You'll be able to make changes to your video before you upload, and also save all the account and quality settings so you don't have to re-enter them every time you want to upload a video.

my problem is u r tell me how do make video capture to computer because i will connect to camera and pc after canting sow no disc in my pc

The DC210 will only work with with Mini DVD -R or -RW. I had the same problem when the BestBuy salesman sold me +RW Mini DVD with the DC210. I went back to the store and got them changed for +RW and I was then able to use the DC210.

I think it is a problem with the camera.
We had one, couldn't finalize, exchanged that, and still the same problem.
Canon NO help whatsoever.
Even the mini disc companies that we purchased, NO help either.
We are returning this camera and going with a hard drive.
We were able to plug the camera to a DVD recorder and copy onto a full size disc.

Try another disc,,,could be bad disc,,,check ur samsung website for support ,,,and get a disc cleaner,,for ur cam corder,,good luck

El manual dice que algunos discos no vas a funcionar con la cámara, pero por supuesto no hay nada en el sitio de eso.

Yo sabía acerca de un problema similar, ya que estaba tratando con los discos DVD + RW. He encontrado algo la solución en la web de Canon: DVD-R/RW y DVD + R / RW son similares, pero en general los formatos no interchangable.

Las videocámaras Canon DVD sólo utilice discos DVD-R/RW. DVD-R/RW y DVD + R / RW son similares, pero en general, los formatos no interchangable. Las videocámaras Canon DVD sólo uso * DVD-R/RW o DVD-R DL (DC10, DC20, DC100, DC40 y no son compatibles con discos DVD-R DL). Si un disco DVD + R / RW se carga en una videocámara Canon DVD de la videocámara mostrará un mensaje "Error de Disco" después de que intenta leer el disco.

* Discos DVD-R de doble cara también se puede utilizar sin embargo, cada lado deberá ser inicializado antes de su uso.

Espero que esto le sea de ayuda; recuerde calificar esta repuesta. Suerte.

You´re just right: Finallizing is a delicate procedure because you never know exactly how long it takes. If there is any interruption, the whole data is lost forever. That´s why finalizing should always be done with the AC-plug. Get it repaired and put this rabbit to court (smile).

You do have to initialize the DVD-R before recording into it and you have to finalize it when it is full (or whenever you wish to) in order to view it on DVD players.

Hi,
Please check both of your CD type and CD writer. You may have CD rom with DVD disc cause your computer is unable read the this. If everything is OK, you may have optical lens problem on computer. Please clean the lens with lens cleaner. If problem persist, replace your lens with new one.

Hi,

Are you using the AC adapter when trying to finalize? You cannot finalize using battery power only.

Link to your manual:

Canon DC210 Manual

(What format discs are you using?)

Instructions for finalizing begin on page 61.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for using Fixya.

NO - the camera should have a battery life for at least 2-3hrs for video taking and playback.
It does need to be in it's base to recharge properly , maybe the battery is low and , but , once charged fully you should be able to turn on/off many times.
Try letting the batteries run down very low - and then leave them charging for 7-10 hours. -- Ray
