What about make a shell script or python (whatever), that does the whole dvd backup stuff (search with google, there are some). Add a cd to a temp dir at the beginning and start this script. You don't need to do the stuff all inside Freevo. > 4 - No dvdbackup :( Bad idea :-) Dischi -- If you receive something that says 'Send this to everyone you know,' pretend you don't know me.
