    MSI DVD Writer

    When I was at the comp fair at Newcastle racecourse this morning, I was soooo tempted by a DVD Writer I hadn't seen before - an MSI dual format that could, like the Sony one, do CDR's at 24x, unlike the likes of the Pioneer and NEC. I didnt, thinking maybe wait 4 months or so and get a 8x one...

    DVD playback problem.

    I installed a new dvd drive for a mate of mine, (he'd never really needed one before) and while it plays all dvd fine, the sound is AWFUL choppy and dreadful.

    Sony and their "Atrac3plus" software - any alternatives ?

    I bought a new Sony MP3 personal CD walkman, and while I am delighted with its performance, the software that came with it to burn my mp3's into "Atrac3plus" mode is to say the least, CRAP.
