Hello all,

I'm very new to all this dvd recording stuff so forgive me if this is a
stupid question.

I work in a college which has several Panasonic DVD
recorders(DMR-E55EB/EBL) to record educational programmes off air.
These recorders do not support DVD-RW format, only DVD-R and DVD-RAM.

At home I have a Hitachi DVRX7000E and my colleage has a Pioneer
recorder. Both of ours support DVD-RW formats. We want to buy a machine
for work, and connect it to one of the Panasonics, that will enable us
to bring in our unfinalised DVD-RW disks from the Hitachi and Pioneer
machines, and transfer the recordings on to the work Panasonics. The
machine we buy will also ideally play the unfinalised DVD-RAM disks
from the Panasonics.

Is there any such machine on the market or are all unfinalised DVD-RW
disks and DVD-RAM disks only playable on the machines that recorded on
them? I'm in the UK.

Thanks,
Sean
