Brian, thanks for your reply, it's nice to know your really out there trying to help. As I stated in my first thread-tweakiing the file type boxes got me going, so does your solution, thanks. One more thing I discovered with the plextor px-w555224a- at max speed i got a few "dots" in the background of some disks (various brands) and a little choppy sound. slowed it down to 40 and all things look great

if you haven't got a few extra nanoseconds to wait in your life, then your working too hard!!
You have a very content customer now. Your "trail/test" downlaod is a VERY usefull item. I suggest everyone check thier drives before buying the program-it will save a lot of headaches for them and tech support. thanks again.
