Page 1 of dvd ram

Ihave just purchased a panasonic dmres20d and awaiting del. I am now wondering what discs to by. have heard that dvd ram is the best for quality but it is not compatible with all dvd players. also what make of disc are best? Plan to transfer some old home movies onto disc from vcr so can bin vcr any help greatly appriciated. m2m

DVD Ram, is best for record and wipe (as Video tapes)
If recording from VHS use standard write once dvd`s or you can (I think use DVD-rw on your machine), I have the E55 panny and use RAM for recoring things I only want to watch once and use DVD-R for keeps. (no dvd-rw on the E55).

Obviously, the price of RAM disc`s compared to DVD-R makes the above logical for me.

Try SVP for blank RAM and DVD-R or DVD-rw all I have used on panny have worked OK, no coasters yet! Ridisc for RAM.
