QUESTIONS about PANASONIC DVD MOVIEALBUM FOR DMR-E20

[marklock]

I have several questions about the panasonic japanese DMR-E20 dvd-ram video/playlist editor DVD MOVIEALBUM, i heard it is the best program for importing/exporting .VRO files (on DVD-RAM) recorded with the DMR-E20 (video recording format), and copies and duplicates DVD-RAM disks recorded with the DMR-E20 to the hard drive back to another dvd-ram/or dvd-r, and with a LFD-321 dvd-ram/r burner then only dvd-ram burner that DVD-MOVIEALBUM SE. comes with bundled, i ask who ever has this program what is your experiance with this program, can you edit DMR-E20 playlists? and mainly any "BUGS"; computer crashes with this program? can it be used with other dvd-ram drives other then the LFD-321 i.e pacific digital dvd-ram 30116??, i heard all videoeditors i.e NEO-DVD and DVD-IT does the same thing but does not in .VRO videorecording format?? i.e will not work with the DMR-E20 format, do you know how to get this program seperately in the united states without buying a panasonic LFD-321? i ask please post your experiance and features of this program, before i think about buying a LFD-321 dvd-ram drive.

You can order it from Panasonic as a "replacement" software disc. Technically you're supposed to own the LF-D321, but it seems Panasonic hasn't been too strict about it.

However, that's probably because you cannot install it without having a Panasonic drive installed. In order to get it working with my external Firewire Panasonic, I had to remove my drive from the Firewire case, reinstall it in the PC, and then install the software. Then I removed the drive and put it back in the Firewire case. The software worked fine that way.
