No VOB's, no encoding, just the straight captured file. I'm thinking that I might be able to pipe the stream straight to the recording process, but I'm worried about "buffer underrun" errors causing problems with this. The burning time at the end of a recording session was an issue with the people I'm developing it for, and I'm looking into ways of getting around it. Ideally, I'd like to be able to capture/encode DVD-Video via a pipe and record directly to DVD-Video which can then be played back in a standalone DVD player, but that's for the future, at this stage playback on a PC is acceptable. For now, I'll be satisfied with dumping the raw capture to the DVD-disk. Regards Tim -- Tim Aslat Spyderweb Consulting http://www.spyderweb.com.au Phone: +61 8 84193434 Mobile: +61 0401088479
