Bought the Sony today (crx-175a1 not the 195a1) and it works a treat. On the fly 1:1cd copy didn't though, but they say it's a tad flaky at the moment. Anyway I'm impressed. Thanx for all the advice.

I have never copied "mixed mode" audio/data CDs so I don't know. You could probably look at the documentation of CDRDAO - the program that Audio-CD Creator uses for it's 1:1 copy process - it should tell you if it can handle mixed mode CDs. Ed.

Some of you will have seen my questions regarding WarpVision a few weeks ago. At that time, I was getting problems trying to run the WVISION.EXE program on my system, it would abort just before loading an AVI file. I contacted the authors and they said it looked as if my Video card (a 2MB S3 TRIO 64V) was simply not up to the job. Well I recently downloaded the latest version of Warpvision GUI and I thought I'd try that out, hoping this later version might be more tolerant of lower powered video cards. Well the first thing I realised is that Warp Vision GUI is NOT the same program as WarpVision with a front-end but is actually a separate product (apparently part of the source code is shared). Previous downloads that I had thought were Warp Vision GUI were actually the CLI only version (despite their zip file names that suggested otherwise). The new program in the Warp Vision GUI zip file is called VIDEO2.EXE, not WVISION.EXE and I installed this and tried it out, expecting even less success than with the CLI WarpVision. WRONG! It worked first time ! I've tried DiVx files, Mpeg 1 files and general AVI files - all worked OK, Then I decided to try a "real" DVD disk (The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour). This is a very new option that has been added and menus and sub-titles don't work yet, so you have to select the individual VOB files that you want to see. This worked perfectly as well !! Those guys in Kiev have really achieved something !! I have read somewhere that this program also supports Microsoft media player format, but I haven't tried that yet. It's surprising that for such a complex and flexible program, it's ZIP file is only 500K ! Sounds like some damn good coding ! I have also to try out the various Skins that you can download for the program, to make it's look suit your taste. There's also a review on the program in the, released today, August OS2eZine ( http://www.os2ezine dot com ). Definitely worth a try !!
