Well, it seems to play DVD videos  fine.  There seems to be a problem in 
writing DVD .iso files to disk.  I never had this problem in the past.  
I check summed the file and everything seems to be okay with it.  
Perhaps  it is the file itself, but I downloaded it twice from two 
different mirrors and still the same problem.
