Please help.

I have a Panasonic DVD-Ram Recorder in my computer and am trying to copy a few DVD-Rams to SVCD Format. Does anyone know how to do it or what program I need.

I'm have problems with that.

Thanks.

hi there!
use ulead DVD Movie Factory 2 (trial for 30 days available, more if you consult the web ). on the start screen you chose svcd project. on the next screen "import DVD movie". chose your RAM drive on the PC (sure that you need this).
chose file selection "all files" and then chose the .VRO file to be imported. you can edit but without sound (because panasonic .vro files contain .AC3 sound). you can even create menues!
for extracting various recording session out of the one .VRO-file on your RAM disc the best proggie is panasonic dvd movie album (but available only with newest panny RAM drive ( ). even better just copy the .VRO file to your harddisk first (for better performance).
you could also do it this way:

i tried it and it works! or have several RAM catridges and record every session seperatly and put them on HD at once.
in the end you can chose if you want to burn it immediately (no other burnig tool necessary)or burn an image (which you can prewiew with maybe daemontoolz).

Actually I would sugest Just dragging the VRO Files do your Desktop, then you will have to Re-Encode the Files so that they are SVCD Compliant, The way i do this Is Load the VRO files into "DVD2AVI and Make a D2V project File for Frame serveing, then Load the D2V file into Tmpgenc then choose the SVCD Template and encode it to SVCD, Now that your Audio is Probably AC3 you will need to encode that to Mpeg1 layer 2 audio with a seperate Audio encoder Like Headac3he, then Mux the Mpeg video to the Mp2 audio, then Burn it to CD with your Favorite Burning Program, you will have to Use at the Least 2 CD-R"s for a Full Movie in SVCD Format..I actually Make SVCD"s With AC3 audio then Burn them to DVD that way I can Get 2 or 3 Full Movies on a DVD-/+R with SVCD Quality ....Cheers

I have a panasonic video camera, but no RAM drive. I've created some video on RAM discs, and am able to get them to my computer throught the USB, but cannot open the video (.VRO file) in the Movie Album SE software! It will only look for a RAM drive, I cannot specify a location on my computer or the USB, am I missing something???

Thanks.
