Hi Craig !
Hello to the others !

If you need help, I can offer it also.
Same with me, cable connection, only Plextor 14x CD burner.

Perhaps some of the list members can also offer their service. Why should 1
person do all the wotk ?

Let me know if you get a list you cannot manage alone !
Greetings from Vienna

BTW I have not tried it if it runs to download from this server, but I have
downloaded some videos via Morpheus. What player I have to use for this MPG
files ?
Or better which codex ?

Kurt
