great that so many peeples are raving about their successes with the recordnow max 4.50 on their own sony dru500a

but itd be realy nice to see one thread on just exactly how you set it up and use it... for converting all of my svcd backups to dvd-r.

i'm 2 "coasters" in to trying to figure out what piece of the mess i've missed on this site telling how to convert svcd to dvd-r = riteks, using a sony 500 on an amd 1700 xp with dma enabled......

it appears that after the tmpg reencode, per this site's instructs, i have to author the mpeg-2 file...

hmm.. but the burning question is directed at nero, or should i type 'infero'?

lemme know what you think - i've used RNmax in default mode for data disk on DVD record - TAO closed, and UDF w/ Joliet, and it will not play on my Apex 600a, nor the Pioneer 440 - it spits it out, nor the older Sony carousel=670.

of course, i can get it = lotr-tt - to play in powerdvd - both "coasters", that is.

it'd be "nice" to have this info in one place,,,,,, is there a dedicated thread or forum for sony dru500a owners? for gossakes, the warranty card is for Australian owners, what is up with that?! and when try to register on sony's usa site, it tells me that there is no dru500a, ???
