Hi, I have the Liteon 16x DVD and the Liteon 24x CDR burner, works fine. (SuSE 8.0, kde3.02, Thunderbird1.4GHz.) DVDs work best for me with the command line util from videolan "vlc": for DVDs: vlc --volume 1500 dvd:/dev/dvd for VCDs: vlc --volume 500 vcd:/dev/dvd the kde gui for videolan did not compile, but despite the error the command line util did install fine. Ogle does dot play smoth, it stocks too often too enjoy. It is a pity, it shows the subtitles etc, vlc does not. The cdr burning and the setup for it was easy with K3B, the rpm is on SuSEs ftp at kde apps. Copies VCDs in raw modus without any problems, using the generic raw driver, for normal data the regular generic driver. HTH, Matt T. On Saturday 27 July 2002 22:08, Ed Harrison wrote:
