Gateway hasn't been much help. I've got a 6 month old
Gateway 300 series x with a LG GCC-4320B combo drive.
WinXp home OS. The sole purpose of this puter was to make
family photo VCD'S & to back up my *own* personal DVD
collection by making VCD'S & hopefully (S)VCD'S also.
Since the factory pre-installed Roxio EZ CD Creator 5
basic & DirectCD's software programs do not create VCD'S
or (S)VCD'S. I d/l a freeware program called VCD Easy.
Which burned great VCD'S that I was able to play in my
stand alone DVD player. After a reinstall of WinXP
because of an un-related problem (recommended by
Gateway). My same stand alone DVD player does not
recognize or play the VCD'S anymore. The burned VCD shows
files and plays on the computer just fine, but not on the
stand alone. I've also since then d/l Nero burning rom.
But having same problem with that burning software also.
Can play on puter but not stand alone. I've deleted in
device manager and let the OS reinstall everything from
the LG GCC-4320B to the IDE secondary controller.
Installed a firmware update from LG on the drive also. NO
LUCK !!! Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
And sorry about writting a long novel. Practice for my
next who done it novel, "Who threw the computer out the
window?". Thanks *bunches* in advance. Bob
