The Mother Board

Again, that Seagate program is a USB application. But, I'll try a regular DVD drive on those other programs to see. I don't know why a drive would mater.

I don't know either but over the years I have seen more cases of changing out hardware with older versions/models solving software problems. Let us know how you go.

After I thought about it, some of those programs use to work ( added notes on the discs), recently I did swapped both DVD drives for BluRay.
I'll post back, I'm in the middle of xfering a ton of DVD's to mp4's.

Honestly, I hope it is the drive - it's a simple fix, but it's beyond me why it makes a difference. I ended up buying another ultra-cheap dvd read-only drive and that one works perfectly, but the nicer/newer dvdr wouldn't.
