Kickrz,
I'm sorry to see that you still have the problem. Don't give up yet. The video file structure on the DVD is damaged but might be recoverable.
Can you playback the video in the camera? If so, the file is not irretrievably damaged. If not, even the last resort will not work.
BTW, this would entail capturing the video with an analog capture box via the S-video connector.
If you can playback in the camera, try carefully cleaning the surface of the DVD - wiping radialy outward from center to outer edge. Soap and water is OK. Try reading with your DVD burner. Also try capturing using a different DVD player on another computer. Sometimes just changing the reader might work. Good luck.

Hi Kickrz,
I have read through the entire thread and if it really has come down to a damaged disc or a damaged file structure on the disc then as a DVD Cam owner here are some options!
Now as you have a VIDEO_TS file structure we can assume the disc is finalized ok.
1. NERO Recode. The program usually comes with OEM versions of NERO 6 or 7 or the paid version.
This is not s function of the program that is promoted because I don't think it was ever intended but what the hell! Put the disc in the DVD tray of your computer and open NERO Recode if you have it. Follow the steps to recode the disc to a 4.7gig disc. Because you will be going from the 1.4gig disc to a 4.7 Recode will just copy the disc BUT what it WILL do is read the contents and REWRITE them to a folder on the hard drive called RECODE. Just re-name that folder to VIDEO_TS and import into VideoStudio from there. Strange...but it works if you have recode.
*As a side note to any Sony DVD cam owners, Recode will actually handle unfinalised -R discs from Sony cams, it hasn't been tried on any other brands I know of.
2. Isobuster. Google Isobuster and install (it's safe). Use the free functions to write a new iso file (disc image file) of your disc then burn to a new full sized disc. Isobuster has a few built in compensation strategies that may handle whatever is damaged on your original disc. If that fails then you can invest about $30.00 to unlock the advanced features of Isobuster and it will extract all the MPEG2 files off the disc.
Hope this helps.
