I check it out and see if there is anything on there site that can
correct
this problem. I also was checking into the udfs.sys file that may have
caused this problem. Im not completely sure if this HotFix from
microsoft
is the cure. I'll check back after I get the model number and let you
konw
the outcome.
Thank You

Hi Cari,
I have a Samsung DVDrom that according to the NeroTool can read dvdram
discs. The other is an Nec cd/dvd writer which I have 2. One in this
machine and 1 in another which does read the dvdram discs even tho the
Nerotool says its not supposed to.
Thanks for the response

You need a DVD drive that specifically reads RAM disks. What DVD
optical drives do you have in your PC?

Hello All,
I have a Hitachi DVD Camcorder that formats the dvdram discs to
create
vro files. I have 1 dvdrom drive and 1 dvd writer. This disc is
not
able to be read in either drive. Nero toolkit says that the dvdrom
is
able to do so. Windows explorer does recognize that a disc is in but
wont show any files. I'd like to copy them onto the HDD and then use
VideoRedo and my authoring software to create a DVD but I have no
way
to copy this file from the dvd ram disc. I have XP pro and sp2 with
all updates asus mobo 2.6 ghz processor 1gig ram. Both of these
drives
will play back any DVD. Any ideas where to look for this problem?
Thanks
I recently bought a Toshiba RD-XS24 DVD-Recorder. It has a huge HDD but
I'm mainly interested in transfering the recorded videos to my
computer, so I started recording on DVD-RW and DVD-RAM discs in VR
mode, but my system (Windows XP SP1) wouldn't "see" anything at all.
Microsoft has a HotFix (KB818733), but there is no direct dowload, so I
looked for the files udfs.sys and cdfs.sys on the Internet and finally
found them on eDonkey (version 5.1.2600.2180 for both of them). I
replaced the original udfs.sys and cdfs.sys
(C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers & C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386) with
the ones I dowloaded and the problem was immediately solved. Now, my
system sees the VRO (mpeg-2) video files and I can copy them easily.
When replacing the .sys files Windows will warn you against doing so,
but ignore the warning (you should keep the originals renamed just in
case something goes wrong). One last thing: DVD-RW discs must be
finalized before been extracted from the DVD-Recorder (finalization can
be cancelled afterwards if you want to continue recording on the same
DVD-RW or you can format it - DVD-RAM discs are O.K.)
