If you use DVDs to record audio/video of your sessions, you might have encountered a time when the disc was unplayable after recording. Often, this is due to the "session" not being closed properly on the disc. One common way in which this can occur is by hitting the EJECT button before the STOP button on the DVD recorder while recording. On some DVD recorders, hitting the STOP button finishes the operation of writing the audio/video data to the disc and inserts some extra data on the disc that marks the recording session as closed. If the EJECT button is pressed before STOP, the write-out operation may not fully take place and the session may not be properly closed. Fortunately, the bulk of your audio/video data still remains on the disc, but since the disc is in an improperly formatted state it typically cannot be read through conventional means. Luckily, there are ways to extract the data that does exist on the disc.
