Bruce,
You might consider substituting the NEC burner from the same Newegg source:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827152058\\\
A total of 1220 people gave the NEC the best 5 star review, and many
newsgroup people on other newsgroups have experienced media incompatibility
issues with the Sony. I have half a dozen burners here and the NECs are my
favorite, way better than the Sony IMHO. They also cost less.

Thanks to you guys for the feedback. For the time being we're sticking
with Premiere Pro, Cineform and Encore. Here's the system we came up
with. Ant rections or ideas would be appreciated.
