It made no sense to me either that double-sided would present any issue, as one person suggested. What I know is this - I've only had issues with two disks, and they're both double-sided. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Perhaps if you provided a few details as to what you mean by issues, someone might actually be able to respond intelligibly. Otherwise, we're forced to conclude that you just haven't flipped the disc over. -JAC PS- Please don't state your problem in the subject line and then not re-state it in the body of your message.
