BTW, I was thinking about why this might have happened. You said you took a
DVD-RAM -  "I have just inserted a DVD-RAM disc that I had used in my
computers DVD-RAM writer." If this was formatted as FAT 32 or anything other
than UDF 2.0, that's your problem. UDF Formatting is compatible with the
Panasonic and your PC Burner, but FAT 32 is not compatible with the Panasonic.
But it still offered to format for you. <shrug>

that use the DVD Forum's video recording standard or with the recording

Universal Disk Format (UDF 2.0)

• This format is designed to be used with DVD Video recorders that use the
DVD Forum's video recording standard and with the recording software
