Mike99 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I just started using ImgBurn a few days ago & did search this forum, but could not find what I needed. I am using it with DVD slideshow GUI in order to make a DVD slideshow. Everything works fine when I burn a DVD-R disc, but I cannot make a proper DVD-RAM to play in a Panasonic stand alone DVD recorder/player which is RAM compatible. Using RAM would be most helpful so I do not waste a bunch of discs when experimenting. ImgBurn will write to a RAM disc, but it creates the typical DVD-R VIDEO_TS folder & files, not the DVD-RAM ones. All my RAM discs have a DVD_RTAV folder which contain 3 files: VR_MNGR.BUP, VR_MNGR.IFO and VR_MOVIE.VRO. When I insert a RAM disc, ImgBurn gives a message "Disc Not Empty", which is correct because when freshly formatted the disc does have the first two files, but no VRO file. I tried a couple different settings, but still end up with a VIDEO_TS folder. And this file structure on DVD-RAM gives an error message when played in the DVD recorder/player. What settings or file type does ImgBurn need in order to burn a proper DVD-RAM? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
mmalves Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 ImgBurn burns data as it is, i.e. it doesn't change anything. The DVD slideshow you've made uses DVD-Video format, which is the standard format for DVD discs that any standalone DVD player can play. On the other hand, standalone recorders (which support DVD-RAM) expect the DVD-RAM to have a different file/folder structure in order to play from them. You'll have to look in the device's manual or search for other users' experiences on how to make a DVD-RAM in the format that your player will accept. Or, the much easier way, buy some DVD+RW/DVD-RW and you'll be able to rewrite them just like with DVD-RAM
