I recorded footage on my Samsung digital camcorder using a Maxwell DVD-RW mini disk. All the footage can be viewed on the camcorder, but not on my computer, laptop or DVD player.
Is there any way I can retrieve the files from the disk?
This is about gadget and consumer electronic information question.

Two things you could try – if you load the disk and it doesn’t appear, it may require a driver (which you should be able to download from the Samsung site), or, if the disk comes up but the files do not run, try to “Explore” to the disk rather than simply clicking it open. Navigate to where you see the drive, right-click and select Explore, which may show you files you won’t see simply by clicking.

you might need to finalize the disk.. on some mini-recorders (like the one i have) you have to finalize the disk before you can veiw it on other devices… after you finalize a disk, you will not be able to put anything else on the disk…
