Need to copy DVD-RAM to H/D.. no DVD-Ram drive

[tito13kfm]

Ok.. I have a customer who has some video and still images on a dvd-ram, and he wants me to copy it to a +RW for him. Unfortunately I don't have a DVD-RAM drive. What would be the best way for me to go about doing this? Are there any DVD-ROM drives that will at least read this disk? Or should I just buy a RAM drive and return it when I'm done?

I'm at a loss as to what I should do.

If I was you go to www.newegg.com buy the LG duel DVD burner that burner's DVD-RW and DVD+RW and DVD-ROM for $125.00. Look into the drive there two kind's of DVD-ROM one that only the DVD-ROm and one ina catridge format. Also panansonic might still make some drive that read that catridge formay I do not know abou the LG burner i think it only read the disc format

if the dvd ram can come out of the disk a lg dvd+-r/w will read it

Both LG 4040 and LG 4020 support DVD-RAM recording and reading.

My Aopen dvd-rom can read them so I am sure other drives should be able to also. My Lite-on does not though.

If its in a cartridge you need a cartridge reader to read it. Some cartridges let you take disks out of the cartridge & some do not.

check newegg for the toshiba DVD-ROM thats able to read RAM. runs about $32. I haven't had much luck finding them in stock lately though.

the toshiba 16xx dvd drives will read dvd-ram.

They're pretty decent drives.

some samsung madels support dvd-ram reading also.

The LG 8161B DVD ROM will read RAM.

Do you know what type the cartrdige is

Type I
Type II
Type III

I believe Type II and III allow you to remove the discs, and they are readable in rom drives.

Thanks for the info guys.. I bit the bullet and bought a iomega Super DVD drive. Had some trouble with the DVD-RAM that my customer had.. stupid time code errors and such.. but all is well now.

Thanks again
