Hi,

It sounds like the disc were not finalized properly. Are you sure the player finalized the discs?

check your software, what are you using???? Free software is available at Burnworld.com

I have a toshiba dvd/vcr vr610 And I don't know how to dubb.I don't have the manual

Depending on the procedure you may be pressing the record button instead of the D.Dubbing or Dubbing button. When recording from VHS to DVD you must first, load the blank DVD and VHS home movies, then play the VHS movies, then PAUSE the VHS movie when you want to START recording... then the only the you have to do is pressing the D.Dubbing button or the Dubbing button. If your VHS tapes starts to play after the Dubbing button is pressed you have been successful in Dubbing.

I had this problem too. I had to go to the -R.

--- for some reason this unit does not finalize automatcally.

--- the instructions for finallizing are on page 52 of the owners manual.

--- they are as follows:

1) Press Setup

2) Scroll down, select "Disc Edit", press "OK"

3) Scroll down, select "Finalize", press "OK"

4) Select "Yes", press "OK"

Finalizing will start.

--- have done this operation several times, works Ok.

depends on the length of the vhs, the duration is in real time

what I would do is play the vhs tape for a bit then rewind and press the dub botton only and see what happens. if nada then insert a new blank dvd and make sure its formated.

Sounds like the DVD is not finalizing or not doing so properly. Check your setup options...
