VRO

[dbminter]

For about a decade, Panasonic made DVD video recorders, from 2002 to about 2012. They allowed for random access editing on DVD-RAM via the .VRO format.


My question is, will AnyDVD running cause a DVD-RAM recorded as a .VRO in one of these recorders to be read improperly if you're copying the .VRO files to HDD from a PC optical disc drive?


My guess is there wouldn't be a conflict because these DVD's aren't in the DVD Video standard, which I would guess AnyDVD would be looking for for DVD. I know AnyDVD can interfere with ImgBurn's ability to Verify discs correctly if you have a DVD Video image you're trying to burn. As I said, though, I don't think it would cause a conflict in the case of .VRO's, but I wanted to make sure.


Thanks!

Probably not, but you can post a logfile to be sure. I assume it will treat such a disc as a data disc and disable itself.

As I suspected, AnyDVD leaves the disc alone.

Which was my theory, too, as the .VRO recorded discs aren't in the DVD Video standard. No VIDEO_TS folder. I think it uses something like something called RATV.
