Thanks a lot. That really helps. as it happens, I had a stupendously bogus workaround using windows and linux. but this is nicer. i may still use that workaround once in a while, but at least i can view dvds in linux now and not need to start windows every day when it's time for my son to view his animal and nature dvds :-). tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com http://monotrematica.blogspot.com In his errors a man is true to type.
