OK, thanks for the info, I'll run down that link.
Its the *Rush in Rio* DVD that has an easter egg video (Anthem from 1975 -
excellent) on it (you have to know the code to view it) and when I copied it
to my HD it was distorted.
I tried to rip it various ways and always got the *copyright* error.
I also have a stand alone DVD player I can connect to the AIW.
Thanks.
