I used to use the subject software to format DVDs and to check DVD discs. Each time that I executed the program a check was made for the presence of an update. If such an update existed, the program would not run until the update was obtained. Then,the DVDInfoPro developer stopped updating the software resulting in my having a useless piece of software. Do you know of another piece of freeware that performs tasks similar to those done by DVDInfoPro? Thanks, Fourls
