LMAO! If i were you, to get what the problem was, try calling the Samsung technical service line in the owners manual, as this sounds like it could be a compadability problem. Let them sort it out for you or return the mnachine for one you can use to copy VHS to DVD without a production studio. I am sure they will have a sutible answer for you. Good Luck, and please let us know what they say and how this works out for you.

Hello All:
[Forgive the noob-ness of this question, but when it comes to DIY DVD creation, I'm as ignorant as a box of hair...]
Here's the question: I recently bought a Samsung dvd/vhs machine, DVD-VR357, to (hopefully) convert an old VHS collection > DVD, and to try & author-in some homemade chapters. I recorded the first movie to DVD, and up til then things seemed simple. Then I took the DVD to the desktop computer, to transfer it onto hard drive & try some chapter-authoring. But neither of the optical drives on my desktop unit will read the disc that the Samsung produced; I can't even get past the error msg ["<drive letter> is not accessible. Incorrect function."] to find out what format the disc is!
Can someone help me w/ this or at least point me in the right direction? Thanks a bunch!

Part 1 of the difficulty here would be if you're trying to record commercial VHS tapes to DVD. It can be done, but usually not within a combo due to the copyguard protections on commercial films. It's not terribly difficult to circumvent, but you'll need a separate VCR and DVD recorder.
If it's all home movies, and your machine is spitting out discs your computer won't recognize, I'd look a little deeper in the manual for your player. If you're recording to -R discs, you may have to finalize them in the player before they'll work on your computer. What kind of discs are you using?

I have transferred many home movies like Matt said to DVD but any commercial movies have the copy guard on it but if I use an adapter in the video line it works fine!
