DVD burner help

Hi,

Anyone have a recomendation of the best DVD burner for DVD player compatability. My DVD player won't play the VCD's I have been burning so time to get a DVD burner.

The problem is DVD's are stored in UDF format, The Amiga can read them using Allegro or directly by the DVD player (Amp) but there is not a UDF system which supports writing to the disc  :-(

PS: If your DVD player supports DVD RAM thats the most compatiable standard (It acts just like a harddrive, You can boot off it, drag and drop files to it, etc, etc) however most DVD players dont support DVD RAM discs  :-(
As for DVDR's, Sorry, pass, Im not that loaded  ;-)

Hi,

What? DVD RAM is not even DVD... Don't be confused by the name

That really does depend on how you define DVD, It can read DVD's, It writes to a special media (Same as DVD RW) but it is a DVD (my drive reads and writes 2.7Gig and 5.2Gig discs, other DVD RAM drives can record up to 9.2Gig)
As for it being a dead standard, Well it may not be up to DVD R which can be used in normal DVD drives but it works much much better than any DVD writer or even CD writer than I have seen.
Although I am guessing you dont like it   :-)

It was a stupid attempt by Panasonic to control the market and I'm glad is dead...

Wow, less of the attitude guy.

No DVD player in the world would read a DVD RAM... Physically it can't...

Well all DVD recorders can (the domestic units which are like VCR's) and quite a few Panasonic ones can read type 2 discs (Which can be removed from there caddy)
Have a look in your local catalog shop at the DVD recorders and reply  :-P

Anyway I like DVD RAM, best standard yet I think, And you can still get them too.
