I recently purchased a Pioneer DVR-X162Q.

The drive is currently installed on a Vista system that will have Win 7 added to create a dual boot system.

It is my understanding that Win 7 includes software for recording optical media, including using file systems based on ISO/IEC 13346, e.g., the various flavors of UDF.

Not sure about Vista. The computer came with a Blu-Ray capable drive, but I'm not sure what file systems/media it can read/write.

The Pionerr drive came with a CD that has the Roxio Venue Suite, which includes:

Venue
Easy CD & DVD Burning CinePlayer
CinemaNow Media Manager

The CD also includes:

USB Driver
Optimal Writing Utility

When Vista installed the drive, it installed the driver for the DVR-216, which is mentioned in the Pioneer blurb on the Optimal Writing Speed feature.

So a question is which of the software MUST be installed in Vista?
Which in Win 7.

Note that I cannot find any documention in the files on the CD.

You have a OEM version of different parts of Roxio programs.

ALL support and documentation come from the supplier of the OEM. In your case its Pioneer, so give them a call.

CinePlayer is a Movie Viewer. Your version will be limited to DVD’s, which was its’ intent.

Venue is a web service & software which allows you to download DVD Movies and watch them on your PC, using that version of CinePlayer.

Venue also provides a special system that will allow you to purchase a DVD Movie and burn it to a DVD that you can keep! It requires a Qflix drive (which is what you bought) and special Qflix discs.

I see they also have a Venue update that allows you to download and transfer DVD Movies onto a mobile device.

That’s it! It is a specialty software designed to do one thing and one thing only. Any info on data burning is in your Windows help files. Questions about that would go to MS…

We will be glad to help you with anything about Venue & Qflix. We are a group of fellow users and none of us work for Roxio unless it is specifically indicated in their name.

Thanx, then I guess that I have no need for venue.

It would not appeal to everyone, but many would consider it the greatest thing since sliced bread  

Take a look at the site before decide - CinemaNow

Take care!

I have no interest in movies, even if they were free.
