Another idea how to speed things up: Build up a cache file that keeps a copy of all resume.vdr and similar files, together with a time stamp. Reading one big file is faster than reading many small files. Only read the resume.vdr if the file modification date doesn't match the cached time stamp. Cheers, Udo
