DVD/ROM is just read only, like a standard CD. As for transferring from a VCR to a DVD, I bet there will be a way to do it. It would be silly if you couldn't. If the DVD/RAM is in a computer you may have to input it into the computer, encode into DivX or something, and then burn it. I'd guess that stand-alone DVD/RAMs would have a "record" feature much like VCRs do, though I haven't seen one before. Scott Holder -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
