Power DVD came bundled with my latest burner. Since you (and others too) have discovered that PowerDVD is a "no-go" when it comes to ratDVD, that puts another damper on my willingness to even install the ratDVD software. (I mean *why* bother?) Incidentally, I installed, then quickly uninstalled PowerDVD. It looks strange/awful and operates very clumsily. What a Clunker! (Now mind you, if it *would* have been able to handle ratDVD files.......)
