Hi, If you have videos already on your computer, you can open it onWavpad from NCH, which would load it in as a wav file then save it as mp3. If you have a DVD, use Magic DVD Ripper. Hope this helped. Alex. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org

I'm no expert here, but you get 700MB on a CD. Are you talking about an audio CD or a data CD? If you're talking about a data CD and you won't be converting the files in your playlist to another format then it should fit easily. If you'll be creating an audio CD then it depends on how large the
