How to use dvd-ram

dc

Can anyone help me as to the best way to use/burn dvd-ram discs.

The software needed if any, especially to use it as a removable hard drive.

Ta in advance, dc

I think DVD-RAM is automatically seen (by Windows XP at least) as a removable hard drive.

You should be able to format and copy files to/from them via Windows Explorer.

Dont forget that many dvd writers dont support dvd-ram.

I have a LG GSA 4163B which supports dvd ram read and write, but have only watched a film from a mates dvd ram recorder, so cant comment on anything else.

if your dvdr/rw supports ram turn the xp cd burning program off and formate a ram disc like you would a slave hdd and then you can us it ,just like a floppy or hdd

I use them for incremental backups (of Emails, general Word documents, projects in progress etc.) They are slow but I use a program called Ice Mirror to only save the files that have actually changed from day to day.
