Windows 10: Extract data from old DVD-RAM 2.6 GB cassette

Hi there
just throwing an odd ball here
Found some really old DVD-RAM discs which have data on them - however these are of the old cassette types.

Just wondering if there's any method of at least seeing the data that's on them.

I had an old DVD-RAM recorder (domestic one - Panasonic) donkeys years ago but that's gone. If I remove the discs from the cassette would any of the external DVD recorders play -- I've got a Samsung external DVD device which allegedly can read / write to DVD-RAM but not cassettes.

I know people on these forums often play around with "Wacky Hardware" - done it myself from time to time but this is beyond my area of expertise.

Cheers

Extracting Zip Files

Thanks pyramid10 for your contribution, I ensured that the steps taken and the source and destination folders were the same, in the using zip7 as suggested by BunnyJ resolved all issues for me.
I am the first to admit that I am a long long way from understanding the intricacies of computers and if truth be told I am now to old anyway to absorb much information.
Cheers.

 

Extracting Zip Files


Are the step-by-step processes identical? That is, the folder extracted from and the folder extracted to belong to the same hierarchical file system structure. If they are, that suggests mildly the Cumulative Update left an electron or two out of place.
