back... PLEASE READ? (you can skip the first part, its just background. Start reading where i put the stars)
So for my church talent show, a group of us, Adults and Teens, got together and made videos to be basically spoofs of commercials that they are planning on playing periodically thru out the night. Well, the owner of the video camera didn't know how to edit and had no software for it, and since i am looking into it as a profession, I immediatly accepted the task of taking it home and editing.
******* My first problem came when he handed me a DVD-rw from his camera. I am used to mini-dvd but i assumed it would work fine with my adobe premiere elements 8 anyways.
well... i got home and inserted the DVD to edit but it wouldnt work with adobe and it said the disk had to be finalized or something. I googled it and it said it wont be able to be finalized since its a DVD-rw and just change the .VRO into mpeg. i then decided i would try to move the 3 files that were on the DVD-rw into a folder on my computer. some error message popped up twice and i clicked okay without reading it thinking it didnt move and i just had to find another way to move them to my computer. when i went back into Computer then the contents of the DVD-rw it said it had nothing on it. I went and checked in the folder and all it had was the IFO file. So WHERE are my video and audio files?!?! ( the onle others on the disk were .VRO and something else) but i cant find them ANYWHERE. PLEASEEE HELP. i am most definently awarding best answer and i will give thumbs up to the others if you atleast attempt to help. We cant film again, and i have to finish editng it by friday. the talent shows saturday.
... i already have software... i just dont have any idea where the files went and need to somehow "retrieve them" if you understand. Thanks though
FRICK YESS!!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH! IT WORKED! i will rate you 5 stars and best answer in like a day or so when it lets me. but till then thanks aton!
