Can I finalize my DVD-RAM disc so that it can be played on most machines?

I copied some video made on HI-8 tapes to a DVD-RAM disc using a Panasonic DMR-EZ47V DVD/VCR recorder. I used the DVD-RAM disc because I wanted to edit some of the video, which cannot be done on the Panasonic if other DVD disc formats. However, I discovered that I cannot finalize the DVD-RAM an this format cannot be used on most DVD players.

Is there a way to make the DVD-RAM disc compatible with DVD players? Is there anything else I can do? Thanks for the help.

Finalization decision is based on the scratches and access from the DVD. First, note that DVD-Audio (the format for DVD discs containing music as opposed to movies or computer data) will not even be finalized until mid-1998 at the earliest, and there is doubt whether DVD-Audio will ever replace the audio CD as a mainstream music distribution medium (certainly don't expect any DVD-Audio players this century). So, even when DVD-RAM drives are available (supposedly 1998 for computers, no predictions yet for consumer audio/video equipment) you will only be able to record and play DVDs on your computer.

There is still a great deal of debate and uncertainty about the rewritable DVD format(s): there are competing formats from different companies (DVD-RAM vs DVD+RW) and unsettled compatibility issues with current and future DVD players (eg, DVD-RAM discs may require a case and they will probably not be compatible with current DVD drives/players). Also, DVD-RAM will have the same limitation of CD-RW in that the disc cannot be edited -- you have to start from scratch when you record. DVD+RW, a competing format from Sony, may not have this limitation.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
