My computer has a Samsung SH-S183L
18X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 18X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM
48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD Burner With LightScribe
TechnologyI don't think it's a media issue as I have used this particular
DVD-R media very successfully on the computer and also in the dvd recorder
that made this particular disc. HOWEVER I have never tried to
disect/examine/remaster/edit a dvd made on the panasonic dvd recorder by
putting it in the samsung recorder that's in my computer.
So I don't know if what I'm seeing is a known phenomena, a "duh" on my part,
a missing library? (I checked for things like... libdvdread and stuff like
that. Anything I KNEW to look for...)

Or does that Panasonic DMR-ES15S simply "finalize" in a way that is
non-standard in terms of the file structure but completely understandable to
other DVD players? My wife emailed me and told me that the DVD works
perfectly in 3 different dvd players at her school. But non of the ripping
software I've gotten so far knows what to do with it.
