Written dvd dl 8.5 gb shows nil data where it has gone

(1/2) > >>

Hi, I have written a 4 g . b files to a 8.5 dvd r double layer, which in the process of writing the data has caused the following error.
VFW_E_NO_CAPTURE_HARDWARE
0x80040275
No capture hardware is available, or the hardware is not responding.
  But when i try to see what it has written, it shows a blank one and gives total usage and used space as 0 bytes. I could not format it also. Where has the data gone. But i know that it has written something and then the error occurs. Would you help me how to fix this error. If suppose i want to use this data, could i ?

Shane:
That error means the dvd burner stopped responding. It normally is a hard ware problem or a problem with the burner software your using.

Hi,  Why then it shows o bytes used and o bytes as total space. Is it more than meets the eye, sir,
Please let me know how to rectify.Should i change the dvd drive itself.
How to correct these errors? I have used cdburner xp software. While browsing with explorer, it shows totally 0 bytes available.

Shane:
If a disk doesnt finish burning properly you cant get any data off of it as the file system was never finished on it.

Only thing you can do is throw it away and try another disk.

Hi, Shane sir,

            I understand the reply. But to me the problem is related to the file format that the 8.5 dvd r have. It shows as raw in windows xp explorer , but on deep analysis by the cd roller, a program which tests the dvd drive, the format of the disc is in udf 1.20 version. On analyzing still further, in the net, came to know that windows xp will not even show this format in the explorer. I could see the written files in the disc, but what still surprised me is that it shows as if it has written the files completely without any break.
          But as you say , that it could not be formatted and to be thrown out, can i have your idea whether this disc  in blank or not formatted stage or a new disc could be formatted with ntfs file type.
           Is there any program to convert the udf format to ntfs in a new dvd which is having udf format 1.2. I have learnt that udf is universal disk format.
          q1. Whether a new not formatted disk could be formatted to other file type formats?
           Q2. is there a program to do this without loss of space in the disc, say 8.5 g.b to not less than 8.4 g. b.
            Please do not mind my english. It may be poor. But what i want  is so many persons would be having this problem but throwing away discs .
            Still i am having problem with dvd drive . Normal dvd 4.7 g.b also shown as 0bytes.
