Outstanding info Jukka thank you so much. The disc had over 4.3 gigs as
well as a Video_RM and Video_TS folders with IFO, BUP, and VOB files in
them so I guess it is in DVD format. They used special company DVD's
that don't state if they are in + or - format so I'll look further into
that. Once again thanks a million!
