I am unable to finalize my mini dvd-r in my sony handy cam. I have tried everything and it is not finalizing. My question is: Can I transfer the data from my handy cam to another DVD? Or is the data unable to be transferred because it can't be finalized?

Thanks!

You can transfer the data from from handy cam to computer first after that to dvd disc

If you can "play" the mini DVD from your Handy Cam, perhaps you could connect an AV (audio/video) cable to anther recording device such as another DVD recorder or even a VCR if you have one that still works! That way, you could still save the video for future use. Just start the recorder BEFORE you start playing from the Handy Cam, and STOP the Handy Cam BEFORE you stop the recorder!
