Ok so I'm getting a new camcorder for all my filmwork and most of the DVD capable ones use 3" DVD-RAM's.
Firstly I was wondering how to find out if one of the drives on my PC is DVD-RAM capable (although I havn't checked the model number yet sorry, I think it's in BIOS somewhere).
Secondly I saw this comment on one of the reviews - it was something like "I can see why Sony use DVD-RAM's instead of RW's. You can get 100s of record-wipe processes out of them". Surely it's unlimited re-writing as long as you don't corrupt it somehow by scratching but maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway... thanks in advance.
PS. I encountered another problem with actually finding out the video resolution of camera (in the format of 640x480, 1024x760 etc). The only definition I could find that determined what video resolution it could be is "True Widescreen" that according to Argos is playable on a wide screen TV without any streching (this would be 14xx*11xx I remember my friends XM2 records at it). Is true widescreen actually defined as that resolution can someone tell me? cheers.
