Hey Reason

I think it was you that said you use Ram discs and have a Ram burner. What program or programs do you use to write to those discs. I got a nice stable verson of Nero going and I don't want to touch it.

2 - This is going to be dumb. There is something out there, it might be a driver or a codec. It's sort of spelled "patton coffin" but I cant find the real spelling so I can't do a search for it. I know some programs use it and once it messed up my system. I have my eye on a couple of new installs and want to make sure they don't use it. Bk

It's "patin Couffin" and it's VSO's (blindwrite and so on)

I always thought that you could use Nero to burn DVD-RAM discs .... never had a DVD-RAM Burner so I can`t say for sure, but NeroSpeed etc. can detect DVD-RAM so I would think that that Nero could burn those media to.

For that Patton Coffin ... never heard of it ... never used VSO software

Thanks the spelling was driving me nuts. :iagree: now i can do a real search

Im thinking of getting one because im sick of regular R/W media lasting only 5 write cycles before I have to throw it out. I have a large catch all folder I back up everyday and it's getting a little expensive.

All DVD-RAM drives manufacturer will provide you with appropriate RAM drivers.
You can also check out this thread for RAM drivers/tools.

Not sure all Nero versions support DVD-RAM burning... but you should at least be able to use InCD (for FAT32 format).

BTW, these question/-s should be raised in general optical drives forum. If you like get in touch with reasonsnotrules, just pm her.

Yes ... we all miss Reason

Logic has been escaping over the back wall recently too ...

reasonsnotrules 2006-04-03 08:19:25 UTC #9

must have been Arachne

Yeah, I use RAM discs regularly. So I guess it must have been me

I use the Panasonic driver, format to UDF, them drag'n'drop in Explorer. If you need the RAM driver, PM me, or ask here.

As for Patin-Couffin...DVDFab Platinum (not sure about regular DVDFab Decrypter) uses it too, from what I've seen on my own system before the last format...

Edit: I wouldn't go near InCD with a 10-foot pole.
