    my friend's girlfriend recorded a show of my band about three months ago. she used a camcorder that takes mini disc and used a dvd-rw disc. i cannot bring the files up with the disc in my computer because apparently the disc was not first initialized according to the camcorder manual. in turn the camera wont let me finalize the disc without stating that all data will be lost and in turn my computer wont read the disc. this is killer footage and i will die if i lose it! someone please help!!
