So, for instance, if I want to knock off a copy of one of the girls' DVDs so that it won't get so badly beaten up in the car (i.e., a copy for my own personal use, as allowed by US copyright law), I am unable to do so. RSJ shows a negative amount of required disk space, effectively making the copy operation impossible. Again, I am not surprised by this behavior whatsoever. >> Hakan, I also use the Staples-branded discs (-R's and RW's), and they >> usually work fine for me under RSJ 6.
