Buik, Me, I like watching the Sheep eating popcorn. I recommend Nero because of the extra bells and whistles, noticeably the CD, Mini-DVD setup enabling one to write VIDEO_TS BUP, VIDEO_TS IFO, and VIDEO_TS VOB files. ;-) to a CD which can be played on a tri-cycle without breaking a sweat. Now how good is that ? I used to use el Cheapo but after noticing a few actually break down on the edges, I figured I would just stay with the decent media - I have enough problems trying still trying to program my VCR. Have a Happy Holiday, "P"
