Perhaps this would be a good time to tell you i have herpes.

Yea if you want to upgrade i have Nero 6.6, 7 and 8 availible. I'm currently using 8 (the newest release) and i have no complaints. The only down side is that the newer versions consume more resources than the older releases. =P

Yea Dvd Shrink can remove all regional encoding and encryption for ya, so it should be right up your alley....if you catch my drift.
