DVD-RAM Compatible Players

[bad1550]

I am interested in a cheap DVD Player that plays back DVD-RAM recorded on my DVD recorder.

Can someone please provide any models available?

Thanks,

Bob

I got a Toshiba SD1216 (i think thats the right number). Anyway it cost about £30 in the UK.

You also might be interested in the Pannasonic DVD writer, Ive seen that around for £80-£90 or so..That writes to DVD RAM as well...I did have one but it seemed a bit unreliable so i changed it for a Pioneer 105.

Not sure if you are looking for set top players, or computer players. For set top, Panasonic has a new line of players out. All will use DVD-RAM. Prices range from $85 to $150 depending on features.

For computer use Panasonic and Toshiba, and one of the new "discount" writers will use -RAM. Panasonic models go in numbered order. Higher number ----> newer writer. Starting at LD-D2xx, 310/311, 321, 521, whatever the new one is. Read only DVD-ROM/RAM can be had for under about $80. All prices in USDollars.

Thanks,

I picked up a Panasonic DVD-35S today for $79 less $20 mail in rebate!

It should complement my DVD Recorder.

HHmm..Thats wot I thought. Didnt compliment my Set Top recorder well at all. It just didnt seem to recognise half of my DVD-R discs nor most of mr OFFICIAL panasonic DVD RAM discs, which seemed wierd ..although i have spoken to people who gave it great reviews !.

Anyway. Thought Id try and burn a DVD (Video_ts folder) onto the RAM disc (one that worked) and see wot happened if i put that in the panny DMR E30 and hey presto !..ha..it didnt work. I think the panny set top only accepts DVD RAM discs with the files in VRO format

I sure hope it works! I only tried a DVD-Ram I recorded in my E-80 and it worked. I have not yet tried a DVD-R.
