Burner User Reviews and Comments Discuss, Drive Able To Read 4.7Gb DvDRAM Discs at CD and DVD Burners forum; I need to get some data off a 4.7Gb DvDRAM but my LiteOn 1633S will not read it. Is there either a firmware upgrade to allow this to happen, or can somebody suggest a decent DvD drive which will read DvDRAM as well as standard DvD-+RW discs? Cheers

Re: Drive Able To Read 4.7Gb DvDRAM Discs

That depends on the real DVD-RAM format and if it is supported by the reader aswell on the used Filesystem on the media.
Mostly you need to install extra drivers on the reader side...

Re: Drive Able To Read 4.7Gb DvDRAM Discs

It's not actually my disc, but need to get the data off it for a friend.

It is from their Panasonic DvDRAM standalone recorder

I can't tell you what format it might be in.

I am told I may be a chance of having Linus read the disc, as it reads all DvDRAM formats.

Cheers

Then you need to install DVD-R VR drivers or using something like Ulead video***.
