DVD-RAM to DVD / DVD-VR to DVD / VRO to DVD

[Baldrick]

Use Tmpgenc DVD Author, it can import from DVD-VR and reauthor as standard DVD. DVD-RAM requires that you have a DVD drive that supports DVD-RAM.

Or just rename your *.VRO to *.mpg

Unfortunately the original link is rather confusing, people who are interested in converting VR mode recordings to Video mode via the PC route should read the following link:

or just buy an HDD-based standalone DVD recorder instead.

does computer memory play a factor with how long it takes to get the files onto the hard drive? It's taking me 25mins for an 1 hour 6mins video. Can it get faster with more memory?

How are you transferring ?

Direct copying can be slow if incd is installed , hit ctrl + alt + del to bring up task manager .
Click processes tab
Click incd , hit end task , wait for box to to give yes / no option , hit yes .
Try transfer again .

When was last time scandisk run ?
After scandisk task , run disk defragmenter .

If by "import" via authoring product , more ram would help , around 1 gig for xp will boost overall system performance , but still may not improve transfer .

Take into account :

The drive reading the disc ... some are better than others
Condition of the disc (if reused)
Content layout ... problems generated by recording unit may occur , rendering content / disc , unusable .
