I bought a sony vhs/dvd combo to convert old vhs video to dvd. So I did, now the home videos are on a dvd all 12 or so hours...

Then I want to make copies for the rest of the family, only to find out that the dvd will not play on my pc, it shows no files on the dvd, but the dvd plays fine in the player.
So when I convert from vhs to dvd it protects the video I converted?

Do I really have to just re record from vhs everytime I want to make a copy?
 
On the Sony unit, with the DVD in it, there should be a menu or option to "finalize" the disk, or perhaps something like "make disk compatible". Choose that option and you should end up with a disk that can be played on any player or computer.
