What program are you using to download the DVD Ram into the computer?
I had hoped I could use Windows Media to save the video to a file, but the version I have playing doesn't support DVDs.
And Power DVD doesn't have a save feature, that I know of. _________________ Manga is to Literature

Geez, if you're using Windows XP, windows explorer should see the DVD-RAM disc as if it were another hard drive/floppy/disc... All you need to do is copy the file to your hard drive.
Once it's copied, you can use TMPGenc DVD Author to convert the file from DVD-RAM format (.VRO) to MPEG2 (.mpg)...

I am using XP... but I'm not sure what you mean by, copy it to the hard drive.
Give me a starting place and I'll futz with it.
Step 1: put the DVD Ram into the cup holder.

It just takes 20+ minutes to convert the -VR files to MPEG2 using TMPGEnc DVD Author. |
Yup.
Before, I was copying the files to disc, then converting to MPEG with DVD Author. Now I do it straight from the DVD-RAM disc and save myself a step.

It's awesome. I think I've used the DVD-RAM disc at least 10 times now. It's pretty quick to erase the old titles from the disc. Thank you for letting me know about the Pioneer drives. I'm glad I returned the Sony for this one. It was $20 more, but so worth it.

Did you get your free discs from Panasonic?
I haven't even used mine yet: the five I bought earlier, plus the one included with the player have been more than enough so far.

I bought my recorder before that awesome promotion.

I bought one other disc, so I have two in circulation. I record on one, while I transfer from the other. It works so far.
