Good point, but it's not just the discs that cannot support it, it's the DVD-Writers themselves too. How they have managed so far I have no idea, but from their aspect, so far so good ;-) One reason for this might be that DVD hasn't actually been defined yet. Yeah, believe it or now, Floppy got defined when it got introduces, same with the CD, USB, IDE, SCSII, PS2 ... so on, but DVD still haven't been defined, as to what can and what can't, and how. This is the number 1 reason why prople all ove the world have problems with certain DVD's. Using mplayer on the console it becomes very clear just how different each DVD is. They all seem to use their own structure. While DVD as we know it hasn't been defined, apparently DVD has been defined recently, but this is the good part: The definitition of a DVD is a 30 Gig disc, working like a DVD as we know it, but on another device. Yeah, it was called something like "Blue <something or another>", and was supposed to become the new medium, with 30 Gigs instead. The only problem is that current DVD players are incompatible, so this is actually quite irronic :P Greetings Ralph -- http://axljab.homelinux.org:8080/ "...the software said Win95 or better, so I installed Linux"
