I think that I will need to concentrate on transcoding the darn thing from now on. I wish I could pin point the problem. When I tried playing the DVD in M$Windows it complained about the region not being set - but I didn't have any such problem in Linux. Nero express won't even see the DL disk, just shows the size of CD. Could it be something to do with the firmware? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
