I HAVE had cyclic redundancy problems before this all happened . . and that was aggravating . . . but that is livable I guess . I tried to read/rip/burn a legally-owned DVD and it took a really long time to read and encode it, but the actual burn time was right like normal . It was the encoding part that took forever . So . . . I tried to re-rip/re-burn the same ripped DVD and it worked normally . (Remember that I am in the US and so far the right to archival copies of use-by-proxy laws is not infringed . . but that's today . . it might change at any moment) . Maybe it's some new encryption or DRM that I am fighting . . . As far as the double insertion part . . it hasn't changed for the better of worse . I think the speed of ripping is not related to the double insertion . . . but I am working on it . NOTE: If I have a program like DVD-Shrink running and it asks for a blank disc, then the double insertion thing doesn't happen . If I insert a CD with music on it and have told WMP10 to rip upon insertion, then I get the double insertion problem . This is when WMP10 is NOT running first . WMP10 is SUPPOSED to self-start and just go about ripping as instructed when any music CDs are inserted . It isn't co-operating with that command nowadays . When I have WMP10 actually running just waiting for a command, then I don't get the double insertion and the rip starts normally . I'm gonna go fishing and think for a while . It's snowing in the local mountains right now .	SurferJoe46 (51)
