DVD Ram Disk

[dave]

I have a question about the reading and burning DVD-RAM disks. What I want
to know is do I need a special drive for my computer or just a driver that
will let my computer read a DVD-Ram disk that was written using a VCR-DVD
Recorder from my TV equipment. I have made a project from my TV’s VCR/DVD
recorder and now I find my computer cannot read it. I wanted to make copies
to give to the family, but I did not want to copy the disk back to VCR then
burn it back to DVD. I was afraid I would loose quality.

=====================================
Will the DVD recorder play the DVD on
your TV?

Does your computer have a DVD drive?
If so...are you able to play other DVDs on
the computer?

I can pay and read a DVD that was recorded from VCR/DVD recorder on my
computer unless it was made using a DVD-Ram disk. I can also play any DVD
written from my computer on my VCR/DVD recorder. I just need to be able to
read a DVD-Ram disk written on my VCR/DVD Recorder. I contacted Panasonic
who made the VCR/DVD Recorder, they say I just need a driver, but I cannot
find where to find one. Do I just need a driver or do I need a different DVD
drive that supports a DVD-Ram disks?

==================================
If other types of disks will work...I guess I don't
understand why you are not using them.

It's possible that the problem is simply the disks,
In my experience...some work better than others.

I have not encountered this issue before so I
do not have specific info for you. If it is, in fact....
a driver issue...it may be worth a try to search
the support website of your DVD drive's
manufacturer.

Have you tried playing the same DVDs on other
computers?
