  DVD-RAM Disk Access On a DVD-ROM Drive?

  Posted by Ron Shook on August 22, 2005 at 3:53 pm

  DVD Experts,

  Does anyone know if typical DVD-ROM drives can access DVD Video recorded on a DVD-RAM disk or does it take something special?

  The reason I ask is that I’ve just gotten a Panasonic DVD Recorder that will burn to DVD-RAM and DVD-R but not DVD-RW and I would like to be able to burn to a re-writable medium that’ll allow me to demux and do simple authoring on non-critical projects without having to toss out a DVD-R to do it. It’s not a huge thing, just wanta know.

  Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this.

  There are a few but not many that support DVD-RAM reading.

  All Panasonic branded drives do (they are huge supporters of RAM)

  The pioneer 109/a09 does.

  If you do a check on the detailed specs on a website for any drive it will
  tell you if it supports DVD-RAM or not.
