samsung DVD camcorder disk error all of sudden help?

Billy Zeke

OK heres the deal we had this camera for years i just figured out how to use it to make videos and upload to u tube channel billybillscrapper
well one disc which i re recorded on was freezing up skipping showing parts of other scenes on parts of others so i decided to clean the disc and lens welll now niether disc work i get NO DISC ERROR ??? I didnt clean other disc that one also DISC ERROR syaing NO DISC in camera when i sure as heck know it's in there.

Tried everything by removing batterry turn off cam unplug power cord remove battery because i did this beforewhen camera acted up and it reboooted itself and worked fine weell not all thatgreat all videos recorded on overwritten disc froze up paused skipped etc...

YOU can see them on billybillscrapper @ you tube

I read this expensive camera ($400)is known for wrecking data on new disc turning them into coasters etc..

So do i just go buy the memory card now and forget about using hard disc? seen prices like $30 in walmart for scan disc 5 gb but i read the memory cards for these samsung mini DVD cam corders also dosent work well.

my model is the SC- DC575 both disc are DVD-RW ! Anyone have a fix or had similar problem? I got a feeling i'm going to sell this camera for $150 and buy a sony instead .

Baterry lfe dosent even go 1/2 hr!

Hi Billy:

Well, now you know why they stopped making DVD camcorders. But, first, the good news:

Yes, you can go buy an SD Card to use for video recordings instead of hassling with mini-DVD blanks (and all the "finalizing" & formatting issues). Just don't buy one bigger than 2GB (that's the limit for that 2007-era camcorder). Most camcorders with dual-media (like Sony or Canon) only store still-photos on the SD Card or MemoryStick, or just low-rez "email friendly" 320x240 size videos. Yours stores full-frame 720x480 standard-def MPEG4 videos, which should look fine on YouTube.

Now for the bad news: when you said you not only tried cleaning the disc but also "the lens", you may have damaged the delicate laser-lens assembly.

I won't try to go into a lot of detail about trying to reuse & reformat used DVD-RW discs and the whole "DVD finalizing" thing before removing your recorded discs. You can download or read the Samsung manual online: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201102/20110214235151702/SC-DC171_SC-DC173U_SC-DC175_SC-DC575_110214.pdf

Page 89 covers Memory Cards, and page 100 covers recording video onto the SD Card.

Samsung also shows a firmware-update (from 2007) for your model camcorder. Here's the Samsung USA support page for the SC-DC575: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SC-DC575 That may or may-not help your DVD recording problems.

hope this helps,
