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 ...

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.

Thanks I recently bought a Toshiba RD-XS24 DVD-Recorder.

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.)

I do have 1 question about replacing these files Jason. Did you overwrite
the files or delete them and copy the new one? If I delete the file it replicates itself within a few seconds. "JasonSeaman" wrote in message oups.com...

A couple of seconds later Windows warned me that important files of the system had been replaced, asking permission to restore the original files. I said no, so udfs.sys.bak remained. Then I copied the new udfs.sys into the directory and a couple of seconds later Windows issued the same warning and I said no again, so the new udfs.sys remained. Exactly the same went for cdfs.sys, so now in the directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers I have the new and the old files. There were no warnings when I renamed and replaced the files in the directory C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 (which is a backup-directory ). My system could see the VRO files soon afterwards, without any need to reboot. I hope it will be as easy for you to do it as it was for me. However, if your problem persists, then first replace the backup files so that Windows will not have alternatives! Regards Jason |

Regards Jason After I posted the message I thought that you might have SP2 installed and unfortunately that's how it is (just to avoid such problems I've never installed SP2 and I have not regretted it). However, there may be a way out of this by booting the system from a CD and replacing the files while you are under the CD's O.S. and that's what I did once when I had similar problems. Make a bootable CD by following the instruction contained he http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ (Bart's Preinstalled Environment). If you still can't replace the files, then make the bootable CD from a computer with SP2 not installed, which will bring the system to the status of mine (only SP1). You can use a CD-RW to avoid wasting a CD-R. Jason |

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.) Jason Seaman I followed the procedure I'm about to explain for one file at a time (i.e. I made four separate replacements), let's take udfs.sys as an example: I went into the directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers and renamed udfs.sys as udfs.sys.bak. A couple of seconds later Windows warned me that important files of the system had been replaced, asking permission to restore the original files. I said no, so udfs.sys.bak remained. Then I copied the new udfs.sys into the directory and a couple of seconds later Windows issued the same warning and I said no again, so the new udfs.sys remained. Exactly the same went for cdfs.sys, so now in the directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers I have the new and the old files. There were no warnings when I renamed and replaced the files in the directory C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 (which is a backup-directory ). My system could see the VRO files soon afterwards, without any need to reboot. I hope it will be as easy for you to do it as it was for me. However, if your problem persists, then first replace the backup files so that Windows will not have alternatives! Regards Jason After I posted the message I thought that you might have SP2 installed and unfortunately that's how it is (just to avoid such problems I've never installed SP2 and I have not regretted it). However, there may be a way out of this by booting the system from a CD and replacing the files while you are under the CD's O.S. and that's what I did once when I had similar problems. Make a bootable CD by following the instruction contained he http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ (Bart's Preinstalled Environment). If you still can't replace the files, then make the bootable CD from a computer with SP2 not installed, which will bring the system to the status of mine (only SP1). You can use a CD-RW to avoid wasting a CD-R. Jason |
