A DVD-RAM TO DVDR SOLUTION WITHOUT RE-ENCODING !!
*************************************************

For those of you using a Panasonic E20 or the likes.

If, like me, you are happy using the editing features on the E20
to Cut and edit your TV/SAT/VIDEO & CAM recordings...
And you just want to convert your DVD-RAM master-piece onto
DVDR ? ..... Then Read on !

You will need.....

A computer Based DVD-Rom drive capable of reading a RAM Disc.
(Such as the New TOSHIBA 1612) www.dabs.com - £52.00p....
or www.pcworld.co.uk - £59.99p

A computer based DVDR Recoring drive... A03 / A04 / LDF311 etc. etc.

TMPGenc mpeg encoder (NO Re-Encoding Is Required!)

Spruceup + Nero 5582.

Copy the '.VOR' file across from the RAM-DISC to your computer.
Rename the file extension from '.VOR' to '.mpg'
(To show file extensions : tools / folder options / view
then uncheck hide extensions)
Start TMPGenc... go into 'Mpeg Tools' - File / MPEG Tools
and select 'SIMPLE DE-MULTIPLEX'...
INPUT: The '.VOR' file you copied from your RAM-DISC (Extension now Renamed to '.mpg')
Video Output & Audio Output will be 'FILENAME.m2v & .ac3'
If you wish to change the 'FILENAME' make sure they are the same!
Click 'RUN'..... To Start De-Mulitiplexing....
(Takes around 10-12 minutes for a FULL 4.7 GIG Ram Disc / depending on your HDD speed)
Start 'SPRUCEUP' and add the media in the usual way...
which in this case will be the '.m2v' file you just created...
SPRUCEUP will load in the '.ac3' Audio file automatically...
You can now create your Buttons / Chapter pionts etc. etc.
Create the 'VIDEO_TS' folders and burn away.....

Saves alot of time.......
