    How to Access my DVD-RAM?

    Okay, I've a few old DVD-R's with some music that I'm dying to get from them, the trouble is none of my drives want to read them, admittedly the drives are both +R's in my PC and when the disk spins up it says disk is blank, I burnt them as -RAM (90% sure) on a version 2 DVD-R x2 speed if i remember, used to take me an hour!!
    I have used DVD decrypter but still says disk is blank within the software (maybe because my drive is +R), Now is there any software that will allow me to see the info or is it a case of go buy a drive that's -R and +R.

    mY ps3 doesnt want to know nor does my dvd player (which is -R)

    The actual annoying thing is I'm after 1 tune that is 10 years old and I've searched the net and discogs but nothing, although i only know the title .. and i know that track is on 1 of 2 disks...

    How did you get it sorted?

    You can't have burned a DVD-R as a DVD-RAM, they are completely different types of disk. Also DVD-R's are the most compatible ans unless it is a really old DVD+R only drive, it really should read everything. I think even the original +R writers could at least read the -R/RW media.
