DVD Ram discs
After spending $s on 16 DVD R Discs for my camcorder (no jokes or rips please  ) I have now found out it takes DVD RAM discs. 
They must be single sided as recommended 8 cm discs.
I cannot find any at all on the net. I see loads of double sided, but not single.
Can anyone help with a link as to where to get some?
TIA

Re: DVD Ram discs
single sided or single layer?
the data layer is in the centre of a dvd, so a single sided is the same thickness as a double sided, i see no reason why they shouldn't work...? 
(unless the manual specifically says they won't, guess)

PS
ALL DVD-RAM disks are single layer.
AFAIK all double-sided DVD-RAM disks come in a cartridge so all bare disks are single sided.

Manual says won't work. I guess I can try just a little reluctant after spending money on wrong discs all ready.
Why dont the do single sided anyway? The manual recommends maxwell. I cannot find them.........

Re: DVD Ram discs
Unlikely - it says 4.7Gb on the pack. Normal 12cm ones are 4.7Gb per side whilst the 8cm ones are 1.4Gb.
Why not Froogle on '8cm DVD-RAM' plus the model number of your camera?

I can't provide a working link to the product, but go to that site and enter MADVD2082 in the search.

Re: DVD Ram discs
I'm not surprised no one knows the answer - Hitachi seem to release the minimum of info.
http://www.hitachidigitalmedia.com/D...?productid=470
Was there not a DVD-RAM cartridge in the box?
Is the DVD-R disk you use in a caddy?
Is the caddy round or square?
And you do know, don't you, that Maxell is a brand name belonging to Hitachi - no wonder they recommend it!
