Consider the following scenario. On a Windows Vista-based computer, you right-click certain files that are saved on a disc. Then, you try to access a DVD-VR format DVD that was created by using a consumer electronics DVD recorder.

In this scenario, you cannot view the pop-up menu. Also, when you try to copy these files from the disc to the hard disk, you receive an error message that resembles the following error message:

An unexpected error is preventing the operation. Make a note of this error code, which might be useful if you get additional help to resolve this problem:

Error 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

Therefore, you cannot read these files.

The information in this article applies to the following configuration(s):

• Catalyst Vista RTM driver
• Radeon® X1800 series
• Any compatible TV tuner card
• Windows Vista 32bit Edition
• Windows Vista 64bit Edition

Symptoms
On some configurations, fast forwarding or rewinding through recorded content on the MCE application will result in two frames repeating over and over.

Setup the MCE application for NTSC TV and play Live TV. Users might notice that only two frames will cycle over and over if they rewind or fast forward the recorded content.

The update sequence number (USN) journal record contains an incorrect file name when you move a file in Windows Vista, in Microsoft Windows Server 2003, or in Microsoft Windows XP.

This problem occurs if a hard link points to the file that you moved. In this situation, the USN journal record contains the name of the hard link instead of the moved file. Therefore, applications that rely on the USN journal may not work correctly.

When you record audio by using a USB microphone on a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, you may find that the quality of the recording is poor. There may be gaps or pauses in the recording. This problem occurs on a computer that is using 4 gigabytes (GB) of RAM or more.

After you format and then eject a recordable DVD-R Dual Layer disc in Windows Vista, you cannot record more data to the disc.

In Windows Vista, if multiple recording devices have the same name, the recording devices may not work.
