DVD-R disc - contents not recognized
I have several DVD discs that were recorded on a standalone DVD recorder and finalized. The content of these discs is non-commercial: home movies transferred from a Mini-DV camcorder. Windows 10 shows the discs as being blank. When viewed in Disc Management, it shows the file systems for these discs as RAW. It does not show me the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders. These are not re-writable discs, and only one session was recorded to each disc. I have tried these discs on two different Windows 10 machines with different DVD drives - same result. I just did a clean install of Windows 10 (swapped out the hard drive) - again no access to disc contents in Windows Explorer. Yes, I have selected "show hidden files". I also checked the registry for the upper and lower filters that prevented some machines from seeing their optical discs drives.
Additional info:
The same systems do recognize a commercially pressed DVD and shows me the contents (VOB files etc.)
I tried said discs in a Windows Vista machine and was able to see the contents.
I can see the disc name and access the contents on a 2009 MacBook Pro running El Capitan.
I can view the videos on said discs in VLC and Power DVD on these PCs (the Windows 10 machines).
I cannot access the content of the discs using the appropriate Import media settings in both Premiere Elements 11 and Sony Vegas Pro 10.
Any ideas?
