Thanks for the info. I will try it. I am going to follow your suggestion about the Verbatum disks..........great tip. I didn't follow these instructions the first time, however. I do have the Nero 6, not 7 version. I hope that doesn't matter. The DVD I am trying to play is a downloaded movie. I will try to find out what DVD format my player uses. Thanks for all the great tips...........:xirokrot ima:
