Hi- i feel the same way you do about the files, one reply to my post said that the dvdid.xml file is placed in the folder that you rip to, you say it is a hidden file, i don't use ver. 5 yet, so i cannot tell, but if it is hidden, then it will accumulate on one's drive indefinately? that i do not like. good idea about ripping to hard drive first, what a pain, is ver.5 worth it?
p.s. i am in eugene, or. yeah, i came back from hawaii, which was awful- glad to be home, the wife is much happier here too.
thanks,
jeff
