i just got this canon dc100 camera with dvd-r discs and my computer is not taking them. I have a dell dimension 4300 win XP using windows MovieMaker.

thanksWhere there any error messages that came up? Have you tried uploading the files onto another computer? Has there been a previous camera that has worked on the same computer you're using now?

Gizmo73Can your CD/DVD-ROM Drive read DVD-R's? Detail is needed.ms_dos_sux ...... Have you read the manual in detail? I came across this which may assist you .
The DC100 takes 3-inch Mini DVD-R/RW discs, and like most of its competitors, can fit about 20 MINUTES of best-quality VIDEO on one. If you choose to initialize a disc for playing in a standalone player, the camcorder writes standard VOB files; if you initialize for future editability, it records in the VRO format. Windows Media Player can play the latter if you rename the file with an MPG extension, however the aspect-ratio information GETS lost--that info is ENCODED into a separate file--so 16:9 video will get squashed into 4:3. Because you must plug into an outlet in order to finalize a disc, the DC100 is probably not the best choice for outdoor vacations.
