[QUOTE="padyboy, post: 1334862, member: 225805"] [b]file extensions[/b] Thanks for the input Juke. Most files are .avi; occasionally mp3 or mp4. I was told to avoid .rar files. Despite the previous comment (which was appreciated), I still have read in several places that DVD-RW disks are dependable. This was the only complaint against this media type I have every heard. Sales personnel have recommended them. As mentioned, the fact that this Apple computer has difficulty with other commercial disks is very significant. I am not pro-pc as such, they are just more affordable than Macintosh computers. However, I have encountered Mac users who hate Bill Gates and pcs in general, showing an almost fanatical dedication to Macintosh. It seems they refuse to believe a Mac could malfunction. It is admirable that Apple is able to command this level of confidence in the product. I mean no offense, and I do not refer specifically to the members who have graciously replied to my request for assistance As previously mentioned, my orders are to use it solely for playback. I am probably using whatever video player was included with the iBook, which opens automatically upon disk insertion. I prefer to use VLC Player on my HP pc. Finally, I still believe that iBook is a state-of-the-art computer and that my problem is specific to this unit. I again thank all who have contributed to this discussion. [/QUOTE]
