In this case 2 GB of data files sometimes show up and sometimes don't. Even when they do show up, there is a lot of disk accesses for such a simple task that take a long time. Quite annoying.

Less painfull but after writing 2 times the same avi files on the DVD and not being able to read them... this sucks ! SP1 came and the problem’s still there.

I have the feeling that this is intentional, read on my supposition: 1. on reading the dvd it's slow because vista is constantly analyzing if the a/v streams are not rerouted to a copy program. 2. on copying/reading the files it fails with an error because vista detected those are (crypted?) dvd files (filename/extension/content based check?), and tell you "this is not intended to be copied/extracted/whatever, so just buzz off". I heard dozens of stories like this, incl. 'protection' process taking up as much as 70% cpu while playing a non-protected mp3, and 'remote' (via net updates) software execution disabling (again, checking based on filename+maybe a md5 hash) if it's judged as piracy enabling y some microsoft's party member... the fix? back to xp, or better yet, macosx or linux, where the user can know what the freakin' os is really doing. may I take a wild guess?
