Sony RDR-GX350 copied DVD-R disc not recognised anywhere else

Hello,

 

I bought a Sony RDR-GX350 22W HDMI 1080p DVD Recorder specifically to copy a Sky+ HD recording where I was on a TV quiz show onto a disc with the end goal of getting an MP4 copy to keep and share with my friend who I went on the show with. 

 

I used Verbatim DVD-R discs and successfully copied the recording onto the discs which play back fine through the Sony DVD Recorder. 

 

I purchased a Kadlun External Disk Reader with the aim of copying the digital version of the file onto my laptop. Unfortunately, I can't get the disc to be recognised there or in an Xbox One X. I am in communication with Kadlun to try and troubleshoot it with their measures, no luck so far. A purchased film DVD is recognised in it so the external drive isn't the issue.

 

I wondered if anyone more technically informed than me knows if for some reason the disc is only formatted to work in the Sony RDR-GX350 and will never be able to be read anywhere else or if there is a solution where I can get it to be read and copy the root file and get an MP4 or similar copy?

 

Appreciate any help on the matter

The discs on Sony recorder should be finalized on the recorder itself in order to be read on other devices... Did you finalize the disk?

Hi @ainsleyk   I have to agree with @rooobb . You have to finalise the disc, it takes me back to the last century with my old Sony DVD recorder.
