windows wont recognize dvd ram
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 |

You need a DVD drive that specifically reads RAM disks. What DVD optical
drives do you have in your PC? -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Client - Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/Windows "Parker" wrote in message ...

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 "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ...

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 "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ...

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.)
