I do believe that Easy CD Creator uses some tool to allow the OS to write/read directly from the cd-rw disk like it was a large floppy, and it uses the UDF file system. Perhaps this Phillips technology will be better, if it is abstracted from the software level, and into the OS level, or drive level itself. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE For Web Services and Linux Consulting, Visit --> j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
