I am having the exact same problem My camcorder is only 8 months old. I have treid everything. I have also experienced a message while recording that says"write error press ok to recover disc" and nothing happens, it just stops recording. If youturn it off and restart you get about 2 minutes of recording and the same message, I thought it was the tape but I am beginning to suspect this camera is a lemon. These seem to be the 2 most common complaints. I am going to call the Samsung customer support and see what they say. It has got to be the camera, what are the odds that we would all have "bad discs"?
I too have managed to finalise one disc but cannot finalise any others - just keeps saying disc not finalised - does anyone have any answers????? hanks.

i bought this camera two weeks ago and three mini dvds of the same brand. the first i was able to record and finalise and i copied it on another disk through the computer. the other two i was able to record on them but i cannot finalise them. finalisation starts but it stops after about 20 seconds and it says disk error... the disks are fine i can record on them and can play them back on the camcorder, but they wont finalise. why is this happening and why is the first disk ok and the other two are not... the recording is in LP , video mode.
has anyone experienced a similar problem, please help me as i want to copy the disks and send them to my relatives abroad
we bought the samsung vp-dc161 with a pack of jvc dvd-rw discs and they wont format, so went back to the shop and was told try dvd-r so we purchased some of these panasonic dvd r discs and we could record straight away, the problem we have now is we cannot finalize the discs so we can copy, can someone please help.

Exactly the same problem! Will finalise some disks but not others. Able to record and play these disks on camcorder only but will not finalise in order to view on computer etc
