I make 2 copies of the data onto dvd, to make sure that the first wasn't a bad disk, but both failed in exactly the same way and k3b reported no error in either case. The original disk was a double layer video disk, gone through dvshrink ( still no linux products that I know of do that job as well ), and, like I said, the version on hard disk plays perfectly. So this is why I'm confused that the CVC version won't ): Steve
