Hi, My circunvention to it, is copy the entire DVD as one .iso file to WinXP, mount the .iso as a virtual driver and enable it to FTP server. This preserve all DVD structures. There are a lot of free programs to create the .iso file and to create the virtual drivers. ______________________________________________ Clovis
