    I have a Panasonic DVD recorder and also a PC with a drive that supports DVD-RAM. I regularly transfer video from the DVD recorder to the PC. This is easy because when I put the DVD-RAM disk into the PC the files can be read with Windows Explorer with no problems.

    What I'd also like to be able to do however is to transfer data the other way. So I'd like to be able to burn a video file onto the DVD-RAM disk on the PC and have it readable by the DVD recorder. I haven't so far been able to achieve this. The DVD drive on the PC came with Nero software for burning video, and I can use that to write data to the disk, but I have been unable to find a way to write the disk in a way that the DVD recorder can read. All methods I have tried so far just show the disk as unreadable when I put it into the DVD recorder.

    Has anyone got any suggestions?

    Also tried that, but it seems the Panasonic knows it's DVD-RAM and expects to see the 'DVD-RTAV' folders and structure.
    Only software I heard of comes bundled with Panasonic burners (Movie Album SE 3), but I have never seen it advertised as being available as a standalone package.
