Sorry Bijan, You didn't mention piracy, I was just disgusted with the court ruling against 321 studios. I use dvdbackup to rip dvds that are <= 4.X gig in size...otherwise I use 321's software to rip them. I'd rather use a linux tool to rip dual-density DVDs, but 321 compresses dual-density DVDs, so they fit on a standard DVD. In any case, I burn with linux, using standard tools. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
