Hi TnGuy,
First due to Dell Policy, which is locked-in at the top of this conference from Dell-Stephen, any mention of using DVDX Copy or the Shrink program more than likely will get the post deleted. I will address your question on the DVD+R media issue. Dell has a Firmware update for the 616T that adds support for the DVD+R media, Click on the "Downloads" tab at the top of this conference, enter information for your system and follow the links, you should find it. If not, then click on the CD/RW gif in my post and scroll to Section 5-1.
Best Regards
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,

difference.
