Page 1 of is it possible dvdram to dvd-r? record transfer

ive got a panny e50 dvd recorder what im after doing is when i record program onto dvdram i want to transfer it to dvd-r on my pc i have a panasonic dvdrom which play the recorded material made on the panny the files though are dvd_rtav which consist of a bup file and a movie.vro file and a vr manager file can this be done ? :D

I have the E50 and a DVD-Ram writer.

I have not tried to copy a Ram disc to a DVD-R but it proberbly wont work as its a different format as you know.

What I do is record 2 hours of TMF music videos and then use a program called "Mpeg-Vcr" to select the videos I want directly from the disc. ( Mark In & Out points)
Then save the cut Mpg file and author with DVD software. I use Tmpgenc DVD or Ulead Movie Factory to make a nice menu. :)

RAM records a .VRO file instead of a .VOB, someone mentioned the latest Nero version can handle the .VRO, but I aint gone to try it yet.

There are other programs out there that convert from one to the other, but as yet, I aint found one thats a freebie or cheap enough to try.

I have the panny HSR with with hard drive, and i can record onto dvd-ram, then copy it back onto the recorders HDD and then recopy it to a dvd-r no problems. Prob not much help but its another option available :)

My cheepo solution, much derided by the big pockets is to record on dvd ram on an e50 edit out the bits you don`t want then transfer the ram disc to a panny s35 (about £90 multiregion) and record back throught the e50 onto dvd-r discs. Works brilliantly.

yeh i was just thinking bout that myself m8 been playin bout with ram discs on pc with new nero etc but it dont reconise etc ill have a look at the panny dvd players

Better to get a DVD writer that works with Ram like my LG 4040 for only £83! Keeps the video digital and so keeps the quality.
