Page 1 of Panasonic DMR-E55 tips

Having read and absorbed the various comments about the above recorder have ordered one today due to arrive on Tuesday 12th.
Has anbody got any do`s and don`ts for the use of this machine, you know the sort of thing, the ones they never tell you in the manual.
Also where is the best place for obtaining DVD Ram discs, is it best to go for the 4.7 or the 9.4 disc, in the caddy or out the caddy, all advice gratefully received. Cheers

Best place for Ram is Bigpockets.co.uk.

I use without caddy as i edit things on E55 then put into my pioneer 107/8 to convert to VOBS and plonk on a DVDr

I have the E50

I use the 9.4GB ram discs as they work out cheaper per GB than 4.7GB ones. Its easy to take them out the caddy if needed but best kept in to get a longer life.

I use the Datasafe ones here - http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acatalog/FOR_DVD_RAM___CLICK_HERE.html

Does the pioneer 107/08 read Ram then? Thought only the LG and Panasonic burners did. :/

Also what DVD-R media would you recommend to use.

Does this mean you buy them in the caddy and disgard it?...the only 9.4 gb discs I can see at bigpockets come in the caddy, unless they are out of stock of non caddy disc.

Here`s is good for RAM DVD discs too, as well as all kinds of other media and batteries
