I've a got a Samsung CD Writer together with a Pionner DVD player.
When I finalise a CD-R under WinXP with Instant Write the DVD player can not identify certain type of files (i.e setup.exe, *.pdf and others) sth that makes me suspicious about the finalising process.
Unfortunately I have not the time to examine further... and to check the ASM code for this proggy...

Thanks again...

PS this CD can correctly be read on my Samsung CD Write.
