I'm recorded a news show with my panasonic DMR-E55. No I anted to rip it to my PC but nothing can even recongnise it. On my panasonic, I have it protected so the panasonic would let it be deleted.

Does anyone know how?

I've recorded these to DVD-RAM and played them on my PC, but when I've wanted to rip or recode in someway, I've started with a DVR-R disc recorded by the Panny.

One of the ripping guides I saw on the net said:

" The VR mode found on DVD-RW and DVD-RAM media cannot use this guide (not the DVD+VR format found on DVD+R and DVD+RW media). For VR mode, simply copy the VRO files to the hard drive. Please note that copying VRO files will often take considerably longer to copy, sometimes 30 minutes for a full disc."

Since I've never actually done this, I don't know what you can do with the file after you've put it on the hard drive of your PC except play it. I don't know if there is a way to convert it to a file which can be copied to a DVD-R or some other form of media.

A friend finally copied with a stand alone dvd burner that is used by people who want a low tech way to copy vhs. Go figure...

I'm glad it worked out for you.

I'm trying to find a way to copy movies, cartoons, recorded on the Panny HDD for my 8 year old to play on his dvd player. Technically, the Panny should do this easily. However, about half the time the DVD-R the Panny produces shows as "WRONG DISC" on my son's player. Discs burned on my PC always work in my son's machine.

Currently, I take the semi-coasters produced by the Panny and run the content through the PC and reburn. I waste a DVD-R every time I have to do this. If I can come up with a way to transfer DVD-RAM files to DVD-R through the PC, I can save those discs.

It looks like either Tsunami or the free Japanese program (VRO2VOB) is needed for me to pull this off.

I've finally managed to do this using free tools MPEG-Streamclip and IFOEdit. Use Streamclip to edit your VRO file before demuxing it to a separate AC3 and m2v file. Then use IFOEdit to create a new DVD from these files. You can then use IFOEdit to correct aspect ratio to 16:9 if necessary. Whole operation is very fast and quality very high as no conversion is performed.

DVD-RAM VRO copied to PC HDD with Panasonic VR Copy Software. Edit with Womble Mpeg Video Wizard and save with automatic settings. Author with TMPGEnc DVD Author. Burn with Nero. Simple. Been doing this for 3.5 years now.....

The point I'm making is that I'm using FREE software! How much does it cost to buy all the software you're using?

Other than TMPGEnc, all the software came with my drives or else I got as a gift for testing the software and finding bugs (Mpeg Video Wizard 2003), so well under $50. You can use free stuff all you want. Sometimes it works for you and sometimes it doesn't. How much is your time worth to investigate whether it will do what you want to do without hours of fussing around? This is why I settled on DVD Author rather than DVD Lab Pro...the learning curve for the latter is too steep if all I want to do is make menu-less DVDs. I can do those in under 15 minutes these days without any fussing around with the software.
