That's normal behaviour for certain cd writers. It's a question of the write strategy. This one is named Zone-CLV, which means that it writes a constant linear velocity in certain zones (0-168, 168-502, 502-end in your case). There's also CAV which means constant angular, which means that the drive will rotate at the same speed throughout the whole burn process. And thus the writing speed will increase with every written MB. regards Markus

Yes, I used Windows. The image is much bigger than the executable, so it must be compressed. And I wouldnt be so sure that data starts after that "Opal"-string. No idea how to extract it without Windows. Using Windows, just start the exe and note that for a very short time you see an extract display. Then, leave the program running and look where it was temporarily unpacked. You will find it under the DocumentsAndSetting//LocalSettings/temp in some newly created subdir. Thats it. At least under XP. With other Win-flavours, the temp may be located somewhere else - but you just need to search for a file named "Opal*". FL
