I have recorded a lot of family events and other activities using my Panasonic VDR-D50P. At first I used DVD-rw and i was unable to view them on a dvd player or on my computer (like it says i should be able to do), then i thought maybe getting dvd-r might help but still no such luck. My pc is a desktop compaq pretty recent i can view other regular sized dvds just fine on here. Any help or suggestions? thanks.
