We have a new, upper end Panasonic DVD recorder that only uses RAM and -R discs. We can get the VHS tapes on either disc but prefer RAM so we can make corrections. Either way, a new laptop PC w/ DVD will not play or recognize either disc. The DVD manual is pretty vague but I've gathered you need to finalize the -R discs which machine appears to do after recording ends yet still no good in laptop. What is missing here? Also, are the RAM discs completely unsuitable for this purpose? THANKS
Have these discs played in other DVD players, not including the recorder? Also what program are you using to try and play them on the laptop? I have learned that when you are posting questions that you cannot be too specific or provide too many details, so feel free to put any specs or other relevant info b/c it may help someone give you suggestions. You are correct about finalizing the -R's to try to play the discs and I do not know if you can play RAM discs for video purposes. Hope this helps.
