Programs i need to download a program into my computer so it can read panasonic's dvd-ram disc

If you cant play a real dvd in it, the laser is prob out of allignment or broken, if its just dvd that you burned, try changing disc type, there is +R and -R , also if that does not work try a different program to burn discs ? good program is convert X to dvd, not free, unless your good at torrents :)

Download and install VLC player from here.

Here you go...I hope this works for you....
CD/DVD Is Not Recognized
Many times, after inserting a disc into the CD or DVD drive, the disc is not recognized by that drive. CD-read and DVD-read issues can be caused by many sources. Perform the procedures presented in this General Computer Advice article when troubleshooting CD-read and DVD-read issues.

Begin with the first procedure and continue through the list. Try using the CD or DVD after each procedure is completed. For any procedure that requires changing current system settings, record the original settings before completing the procedure.

1. Verify that the correct disc (CD/DVD) is used when prompted to insert the disc.
2. For programs on DVD, verify that the drive containing the DVD is a DVD drive and not a CD-ROM drive. Most DVD drives will haveDVD printed on the front of the drive. For programs on DVD, consider the following:

• DVD drives can read both DVD's and CD's.
• CD-ROM drives can read only CD's.

1. If multiple disc drives (e.g., CD-ROM and CD-RW, or DVD and DVD-RW, or CD-ROM and DVD-RW, etc.) exist on the computer that can read the disc (refer to the items under Step 2), insert the CD or DVD into the other drive and try the program again.
2. If you are attempting to install a program and the installation does not begin after inserting the CD/DVD into the proper drive, refer to the program's instructions for the installation procedure.
3. Clean the CD/DVD in the following manner:

1. Place a small amount of nonabrasive liquid soap on the shiny side of the CD/DVD.
2. Using your fingertips and warm water, gently rub the soap on the CD/DVD in a circular motion.
3. Rinse the CD/DVD thoroughly and dry it using a clean, soft T-shirt or lint-free towel. (Do not use paper towels or tissue paper.)

1. Try to use a different CD or DVD in the drive to see if that disc can be read.
2. If possible, insert the problem CD or DVD into the DVD or CD drive of another computer to see if the issue persists.

This sounds like your driver is unable to read this format. Check on the web for your driver and get the specifications. It should tell you what it can or cannot do.

Place the disc back in the computer, open the program that burned the disk and finalize the disc, once finalized it should work in any dvr

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

To my knowledge the only basic requirement to play a recorded disc into another machine (even of the same brand) is that the disc must be finalized. The recorder must be instructed that no further recording is intended and that the recorded disc wold be in use externally (some other standalone player).

Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

you cant play avi on normal dvd player,but you can convert avi to dvd format by use free softwere ( filmMachine )

Check device manager in control panel under hardware to see if you have a problem with anything (a big yellow check). The most likely casue is that your DVD burning software (not the microsoft programs) did not install properly. Find out the exact info about yours by downloading a freeware program called Belarc Advisor (Googe it), Oddly enough, you don't need drivers for the CD/DVD drives. They aren't even recognized unless you have a non-microsoft burning program. After you find out what burning software you have-- you have to seek a download at the computer manufacturer's website, if it came with the computer, as it may be a special program not related to the burning software if you purchased from the software manufacturer---go to their website for downloads or upgrades,and that should get you going.

hy,
I recovered my data (video) with a program, and then with another program i transformed the file in video that is more accesible

try formatting the disc. it will erase everything on the disc and you can start fresh. try this with all the discs.if the problem keeps happening, try new discs.
