Hi,




Using the 708a as the source and premium as destination I got a circ error when copying a VCD.. see log below. I then chose to make an image of the cd first and the same thing happened. After 2 failures, I started Nero and copied OTF no problem.

Why did Alcohol have a problem reading from source and Nero didn't?
