I didn't fire up Nero, just looked in Exploder and it said "put a disk in, stupid" or something to that effect. IOW, the disc was not visible to the file manager. I'll try Nero tonight. Will also perm all I can from the DVD recorder controls to see if I have missed something. The machine doing the recording is a Panasonic Digibox/DVD recorder. This takes digital TV and radio signals and converts them to analogue which then goes through another black box to get the SCART output to RF, because my TV is from another millenium. Allied to the DVDR, it's the easiest machine I've ever used to record TV. Go into the week-ahead digital guide (one button press), find the programme you want to record, press the buttons as guided onscreen and walk away. > > > mike wilson wrote: > >> From: Sylwester Pietrzyk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> Date: 2007/06/19 Tue AM 07:26:15 GMT > >> To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> > >> Subject: Re: OT DVD RAM > >> > >> On 18.06.2007, at 23:42 , mike wilson wrote: > >> > >>> I bought a DVD recorder which came with some DVD RAM discs, which I > >>> understand are re-recordable. > >>> > >>> Having used some of them once I now want to re-use them.
