 The only way to record on DVD. Sep 17, 2009
By KlarCen
Besides hard drive, RAM is the only way to record on DVD. Not only can you edit your shows, but you regain the edited out space, just like hard drive recording. With DVD R (+, -), you can edit out commercials, but you lose the space. You can never record in that space again. RAM discs are the most versatile DVD format available. Shoul you decide that you no longer need or want the material on that disc, erase it. Just like a video tape, you now have a blank disc to re-record to.

 I like DVD-RAM Jan 13, 2011
By M. Nelson
I got my Panasonic DVD recorder over 3 years ago and use RAM disks most of the time. I love it that I can create chapters and delete commercials.
Plus as another person said, you get back ALL the erased space to be reused. DVD-+R(W) disks have their places. I find DVD+RW disks do last longer than the RAM disks I have used - both Panasonic and Fuji. That is why the 4 stars.
I can play the disks on my computer since my drives capabilities include DVD-RAM.
I have also saved disks by erasing them on my computer. Even a fast erase will work. When it is inserted into the Panasonic recorder, it will then format where it could not do it before.

Great for recording Programs Nov 19, 2010
By zoppo
They dont get much publicity, and are hard to find. But work well.
Make sure your player can play them, not all can.

Panasonic does it again. Mar 17, 2010
By Clifford King
Once again Panasonic offers full value for money. These disks are first class and much less expensive that the competition, such as it is. I use them in any of my four Panasonic DVD recorders, and they perform perfectly. I have also used them for computer storage, with no problems. Highly recommended.

DVD-RAM better than DVD+RW Nov 08, 2011
By Wild Willy
I got a beg-mail from Amazon asking me to review this product. So I figured I'd oblige them this time.
I've had a Panasonic DVD recorder with a dual-well VHS recorder for a couple of years now. In my ignorance/naivete, when I bought the recorder, I decided based on essentially random choice to buy a spindle of DVD+RW disks. I've been finding that the recorder likes to destroy a DVD+RW every so often. I've had the odd experience of a DVD+RW that recorded & played back yesterday is now completely unusable today. Won't play back. Won't format. Won't be recognized. So I decided to try DVD-RAM disks. The player supports a whole range of DVD formats & this one seemed to have nice "advertizing" in the owner's manual. Given my less that great experience with DVD+RWs, I decided to get the same brand DVD-RAM disks as the recorder. Good move. There's several improvements over the performance of DVD+RWs. Powering on when a DVD-RAM is in the drive takes just a couple of seconds; powering on when there's a DVD+RW in there takes an eternity, maybe 20 seconds. The skip-ahead-60-seconds advertizing zapper button moves forward instantaneously with DVD-RAM; it takes maybe 5 seconds or so with DVD+RW. While a programmed recording is in progress on a DVD-RAM, you can play back any recording already on the disk, including the beginning of the one that is in process of being recorded; can't do that with DVD+RW. DVD-RAM disks are ready to use out of the box; DVD+RWs need to be formatted first. I can play DVD-RAMs in my computer drive; can't do that with DVD+RW. (But that is probably because my computer, which was a donation from a friend, just happens to have a Panasonic DVD-RAM drive of not recent vintage so its breadth of features & compatibility are suspect. Still, it's a plus for me.) And the DVD-RAM disks don't need to be finalized or anything like that to work in my computer.
As for munching disks, I've been using the DVD-RAM disks for only a couple of weeks. It was several months before I suffered my first destroyed DVD+RW. I don't want to make it sound like it was a frequent or even regular occurrence that a DVD+RW disk would suddenly turn into junk. But I have had to toss maybe 6 to 8 of them over the course of 2 years. That's not very reassuring. I do have my hopes up for DVD-RAM (speaking of ignorance & naivete . . .).
