Toshiba dvd rom reads dvd ram 2x, can it read ram from e20?

THe Toshiba M1612 and Hitachi 8000 read dvd ram discs at 2x speed in addition to regualar dvds, dvd-rs etc. I was wondering if it would be able to read home movies recorded on dvd ram from a standalone dvd recorder such as a Panasonic E20? I am not sure if I would have to take the ram discs out of the cartridge or not; I'm going to be possisibly getting a pc dvd recorder such as a pioneer A04 and was wandering if I could put the ram disc in the Toshiba and copy it on to the Pioneer if I wanted to. Any info is always appreciated. Thanks

Hmmm... from the pix it seems that the M1612 does not support cartridges. Thus to use DVD-RAM with it would required a Type II removable cartridge, or else non-cartridge based DVD-RAM.

I may get one of these for my office, since I have a DVD-RAM burner at home.
