  • 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.
