I think I know the source of your confusion. There is a Windows program (or probably more than one program by now) which lets you pop a DVD into your DVD drive, and it converts the files into a format that you can burn onto CD-R - in other words, it lets you create a pair of VCDs from a single DVD. And of course, VCDs can be played in a normal CD drive. regards, Robert _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
