DVD-RAM to DVD-R on a Mac?

I know and am familiar with getting a DVD-RAM to a DVD-R on a PC, but on a Mac? Does anyone here know how to do that/ Thanks for the heads up.

 

are these data dvds? movies? back ups?

not following..

 

these are RAM DVD's that were made by Panasonic.

 

how were they made?

what is on them?

panasonic dvd recorder?

 

ok? if you guys are not familiar with DVD-RAMS then you probably will not be able to help me. But here is a good explanation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-RAM

 

if that's what they are.. you should be able to make an image of it using disk utility then burn to dvdr or you can use toast to do the same.

 

yeah, but then how do you convert that image if its not a .vob file.

 

you can mount the image.. again.. using toast

take out whats in it.. and copy it to yoru hard drive...

depending on what file its in.. go from there.

now, is that disc encrypted?

 

I have used a couple of softwares that do the job (to convert DVD-ram files to mpg2)
1. Pixe VRF Browser
2. Mpeg2works4
3. Toast titanium 7

You need to have a DVD-RAM writer in your computer to read the files (but you already knew that!)

 

So where can I get those apps? But with Toast I can grab the image but how do I convert
them to get ready to DVD-R> Thanks guys for all your help I really appreciate it.

 

www.versiontracker.com
www.pixela-1.com

look up for the app name

On toast 7: 1 open toast, select video, insert your DVD-ram disk, click on media (instead of format), choose DVD. after a while, you will see your titles in the pane. drag one by one to he main pane. record as usual.

 

Thanks Peregrina,

I appreciate the help. But is there anyway you can write up a step by step tutorial? I am lost man. I have downloaded Pixe VRF Browser 2.6.1 and also have Toast 7 but is the other really necesary? Thank again man.

 

You may do with 1 app... But, pixe is the fastest to convert DVD-ram files to mpegs; can edit them also. But it is picky sometimes.
Toast may do the job, but i think it is slower.
mpeg2works has more options and converters (somwhat like ffmpeg)... consider it as a fine tuner for your mpegs or vobs

 

Can yu show me with Toast, lol, since that is probably the easiest and I have that app already.

 

look up on my threads... the second one has step by step toast 7 instructions

 

thanks I will.

 

i'm sure glad somebody knows about this.. gotta add this to my knowledge base.

 

sorry man, cannot find your thread??? Can you direct me? thanks

 

You only needed to scroll upwards...
But anyway here it is:

open toast,
select video,
insert your DVD-ram disk,
click on media (instead of format),
choose DVD. after a while, you will see your titles in the left pane.
drag one by one to the main pane (right).
Make an image file of your new DVD
record your new image (double click it) as usual.
