too, am not thrilled with Roxio, and it can get shaky ...

the file format was not recognised, even though I do this frequently.
Nothing I could do would overcome this, so I converted the files ...

I have a basic burner and using Roxio EX CD V5.  Although I don't think the
software matters, I thought one could make changes to a data document (like
