Hi LumenLux, I just have never had this problem. I respect Al's expertise so I will try to completely copy a few thousand hi-res jpgs to a dvd+rw and then try and access them. Give me a couple of days to test it and I will see if the full disk is the culprit. I always save my digital photos in a large number of folders as Al has stated. No more than 300 in each folder. Still no problems. I know I have at least 2-3 gbs on several of my dvds. So stand by will report my findings. I use firewire ( ie: 1394 ) cabling to an external Sony recorder. Maybe this is the difference. I used to hook up to the Sony using my usb ports and do remember a much slower copy rate before getting a firwire hub for my laptop.....jongru...

Hi Lumenlux, What I think I am trying to say is that the process of "burning a dvd" in my opinion, is the preparation of a dvd for the rendering and writing of "authored dvd "assets" such as video, audio, pictures, narrations, etc. to the dvd. In my experience, using the software cited, I just indicate to the dvd writer (Sony-DRX530-UL) that I wish to make a data disk, go to the folders or files and identify them, then press burn or go.....never had a problem of viewing or quick retrieval of the written files on the dvd when I choose to use one or all.... hope this clarifies my original opinion.....jongru

Hi Folks, Wonder if the issue is really Burning or Copying files to a dvd. I copy thousands of files to dvds using Sonic Solutions Record Now. Never get the problems you folks are mentioning. Maybe you are setting the dvd up as an operational disk by trying to burn simple jpg's to the dvd instead of using the copy or back up modes....jongru

Hi Techman and All, I fixed the registration key myself. The instructions that came back when I registered the PTE for loading the key is wrong. I opened the Reg.Txt file in Notepad and then saved it to my desktop as Txt.Reg. Since this is a registry entry I just double clicked on the file icon. Voila !! Done. Worked fine. I think Igor ought to notify the Registering company to correct the instructions as I am obviously not the only person effected.......jongru

Hi, I just converted my free download of PTE and purchased it. I was issued a Key number in the form of a text file. I followed the instructions and clicked the nag screen to load key, it says it was successful. But in checking the registry, I notice the "Key" was added but no Value to activate. Any help?? I sent emails to the Regnow people they referred me here. I also sent an email to support persons here also. This is really frustrating. I notice on the Order Detail sheet, that they treated me as a European customer for pricing. Is this a possible problem???? Thank you....jongru
