That's interesting, Harry. At the moment, I am
running RSJ 5.52 on the Shuttle (plain vanilla IDE,
Pioneer 108 DVD burner), and some considerably earlier
version on my all-SCSI tower desktop. That cddr.inf
file always was a weak link. IIRC, they told me that
the DVD burner -- unlike a cd burner, for some reason
-- *should* get detected and work, irrespective of the
.inf file and whatever it contains. This has never
been the case, though, in my experience. Always had
to tailor that file, sometimes in ways that looked
more like Voodoo to me than anything technically
apparent. (In fact, I think we swapped some lines
from the .inf file once upon a time, trying to run
this down . . . ?)

I was about to suggest downlevelling to 5.52, but if
you never had a 5-series RSJ working with your
setup, that might not fly. I think 5.05 was the
first version to add dvd capability (which I have yet
to use: still do all my dvd stuff on the Dark Side,
though I've been meaning to investigate that
third-party frontend that is supposed to offer a shell
for this and for DVDDAO). {*}
What burner are you using ? I'm pretty sure that a
5.05 .inf file that worked for you could be used just
fine with 5.52. I get the occasional, obscure error,
but very successful results overall, nothing like what
you are reporting. I haven't noticed anything I need
listed for the versions later than 5.52.

Note to Steven: I obtained an updated version of the
file behind what I had needed to OCR, so I can just
reprint that, and my need for Clara or any other OCR
has taken a nosedive again. The above topic {*} is of
much more interest to me for a possible demo . . .
provided Jerry doesn't cover it first. But probably
no sooner than July or Aug.
