I have two different brands of DVD-RW, and my DVD player can successfully read one (Verbatim) but not the other (Fuji). They both load, but the Fuji disc pauses playback, corrupts, and generally isn't watchable. Burning the same data to a Verbatim disc works fine though. The moral of the story: not all DVD media is created equal. I'd try a different brand. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
