SOS AVCHD DVD won’t read.

[Angelo Lorenzo]

Well the disc recorder’s error isn’t a biggie, it will just record and not playback AVCHD.

The computer not reading the disc is more concerning. You’ll need a program that can see past formatting errors to recover data (even that’s dubious as most recovery software will give you raw unnamed files which you’ll have to rebuild into an AVCHD folder structure)

Give a demo of something like ISOBuster a try (there are tons of recovery tools) or try the disc in another computer.

If you recorded AVCHD into your DVD disc, you might need a computer Blu-ray player to be able to play it again.
In other words the player needs to be able to read HD video from your DVD disc. Originally DVD standard was for recording SD video. With some recent burner/player you can record HD video but this is more the exception than the rule.

So I have found another mac that read the DVD but how can I get the file off?

I’ve tried using handbrake but it wont read the file.
Any other thought

If it’s AVCHD, just copy the contents of the disk to a hard drive and use the Media Browser within Premiere to import the footage. No “ripping” is required.
