Conclusion: Caution
Review: The first step is the video camcorder. Consider what DVD format(s) it uses. Will it play in your DVD player? Will it play in your computer? Will your editing software recognize DVD-RAM? If not, you may want to reconsider what you are buying. Many DVD players and computer players will not play all DVD formats. DVD-RAM is fine if all your equipment will play it. It is easy to use.

Conclusion: DVD-RW is the Better Bet
Review: The 60 Min. provided with this Panasonic DVD-RAM is great, but trying to find a DVD player which will play back DVD-RAM is a nusience.
I purchased this DVD-RAM in error and now I find myself having to use my DVD Camcorder to play anything back. If your looking for something 60 Min. which can be re-recorded the 60 Min. DVD-RW is the safest bet. Many DVD players will read DVD-R/RW, so you can pop the little thing right in and have it play back on your TV. No fiddling with AV cables.
I can't hate on the DVD-RAM too bad because it was my mistake, but be warned!

Conclusion: Better price here than elsewhere...
Review: Bought the Hitachi DVD Camcorder--one of the first ones out, and it uses DVD-RAM for rewreitable media. Who Cares? I thought... Except when it comes to buying media, and everyone else is using DVD-RW, so my media costs 5x as much!!! Aargh! Oh well, if you have to have it, then you have to have it. And this is the one to get if you have a Mini DVD Camcorder that uses DVD-RAM. It is double sided, for a full hour of video, and seems to record well.
