DVD RAM to DVD-r ?

[ShiWarrior]

I am glad my new DVD R/W drive has DVD RAM now

but how on earth do I copy it to DVD-r ?

had a look on videohelp can't find the answer

recorded Top Gear tonight for my brother so i need to convert it so i can play it on another DVD player

cheers

when you open it in explorer, what format is it? (never used dvdram)

if it's vob files, then dvd decrypter or nero should be able to copy them no problem

theres a folder called "DVD_RTAV"

in their, 3 files :

VR_MANGR.BUP
VR_MANGR.IFO
VR_MOVIE.VRO

hmm, from what i've just read on videohelp

vro 'might' be an mpg file..

rename it .mpg and see if you can play it?



now you need a programt o convert mpg to proper dvd format.. there was no real answer

also saw this.. http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/t272118.html

good luck!

search for 'vro to etc' on videohelp, see if this can open it.. http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=Virtualdub-MPEG2

well it takes ages to load WMP but yes if i change it to a .mpg it does eventually play!
tried to convert it using my using mainconcept and it wouldn work, i get errors near the end.

what to do

Use nero 7, just choose dvd copy and it will make an exact copy of the dvd.

oooh, yeah didnt think of that, i'll see what nero comes up with

thanks mate

If the file is mpg it shouldn't be a problem as all dvd players must be able to play back mpeg1&2, it's part of the specification.
