DVD Shrink and Ram discs
 

Hi all

I have just brought a pioneer 109D which 'should' reads DVD-ram disc. Most systems like explorer do not seem to reconize the disc although it plays in Ulead DVD player. I brought it to copy DVD ram programmes to DVD-r discs.

Any idea if DVD shrink will work with ram discs because when I try and open the disc it just states no disc. Any ideas on the best way forward.

Many thanks

Mike

It could be the disk, Mike, the specs say it will read

DVD-RAM (Non-cartridge DVD-RAM Version 2.0/2.1 only)

other than that, the only thing I can suggest is to ensure you have the latest firmware for the drive...

Yes ggod point as there was no disc and ideas where I can get it from

Many thanks again.

Re: DVD Shrink and Ram discs
 

have you tried using a decss tool to copy the dvd to your hdd first? e.g. dvd decrypter...

Re: DVD Shrink and Ram discs
 

you could try nero copydisc or clonedvd<what format is written to the dvd ram? shrink only recognises vts and vob files

I have wondered this and I am not sure........... the DVD recorder was a Panasonic DMR-E55 if that help.

If you have nero on your pc give that a go select copy disc with pioneer as source and destination see what happens

Re: DVD Shrink and Ram discs
 

Sounds like an issue with the compatability of your DVD drive. I use a Panasonic DMR E55, use Panasonic RAM discs and have a Mats(hit)a (Panasonic) DVD RAM drive. The discs read fine in Windows Explorer.

One thing I have found however is that the PC doesn't like discs on which video has been recorded, and deleted and messed about with by the DMR E55. It only works properly when a disc has been formatted in the DVD recorder (under functions) and only recorded on once. You might like to try that.

Tried this and it copied OK but data in still not shown in explorer or other programmes. This means I can not really see it which I need to do inorder to do some basic editing. Any ideas

I think for the sake of being neat and tidy this should not be a separate thread. Merging ...
