drive. You cannot use a DVD-RAM disc to create a video DVD.

After you connect your digital camcorder to your computer, creating a video 
DVD typically consists of three basic steps: capture the video, edit the video, 
and record the video to a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc.
ImportantWe recommend that you do not use your computer for 
other tasks while creating DVDs.
ImportantIf you record copyrighted material on a DVD, you need
