I record TV programmes on DVD-RAM using an E50. I wanted to put some of them on DVD -R, so bought a LG 4040B writer. The drive seems to work fine. It reads everything. It burns DVD -Rs. It treats DVD-RAMs like a hard drive. I can read a DVD-RAM from the E50 in Explorer and it finds the IFO BUP and VRO files. I can copy the IFO and BUP files to my hard drive but as soon as I touch a VRO file Explorer crashes. I have also tried to access the files from TMPGEnc DVD Author. This crashes as well.
Anyone any idea what is happening? Is it some kind of copy protection? I am confused because others on these forums seem to be doing the same thing without any problem.

When you record on DVD-RAm it's like a hard drive and there will be one large file you can edit that file with MPEG2VCR -
It's not copy protection. I have a panny ram burner and don't get any such problems on winme or win2k. It sounds like an OS or software related issue - possibly hardware too (hey that's everything then!) but I don't know exactly what you could do to fix it.
Try disabling XP's built in burning capability on the drive. Failing that, remove any UDF software like B's clip, and then all burning software. Another possibility is removing and re-installing your IDE controllers. Also check the drive is cabled and jumpered properly. You should have it as secondary master and use an 80-pin IDE cable, not the ordinary 40-pin ones. Check than DMA is enabled too. -

I use the Toshiba SD-M1712 to read them [$30 bucks Ebay].
Womble mpeg-vcr ... edits them. Remove Commercials.
InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 converts them. No need really for VRO video files ... it can and does.
TMPGEnc DVD Author ... authors them ... after I've used Womble mpeg-vcr to remove the commercials.
