Sonic DLA is packet writing software for RW discs. Very few people still use this. It is problematic software at best. You are probably looking for an equivalent of Sonic RecordNow!. Sonic was acquired by Roxio (EasyCD Creator). The following are listed as Vista Compatible. I am sure there must be others. Do not expect Lenovo to supply burning software that did not come with your ThinkPad.

RecordNow™ 9 Music Lab - $29.99

Nero 7 Ultra Edition ENHANCED - $79.99

Vista has some built-in software which works somewhat. I had to download the Nero to do some work, but the built-in works somewhat. Just insert DVD and drag and drop...(as I recall).

The built in CD/DVD burning software with Vista works fine. Alternately, you can install free CD/DVD burning software. I use BurnOn CD&DVD (http://www.burnworld.com/burnoncddvd/) which is free and works quite well on Vista. You do have to put up with the software opening the web browser when you're done and taking you to an advertisement...

What exactly does DLA do that XP's built in Mt. Rainier does not do?

I wasn't aware that XP had Mt. Rainier built-in. However Vista does have Mt. Rainier built-in according to the following. The way I take it, while DLA might serve some use in XP, it would be superfluous in Vista.

Wikipedia wrote:Mount Rainier will be implemented natively in Windows Vista, which was released on January 30, 2007. Linux has built-in MRW support since kernel version 2.6.2 (2004). Operating systems that don't support MRW natively (notably Windows XP and prior versions) need third-party software to read and write MRW-formatted discs, and these tend to be the same packet writing utilities which allow native UDF filesystems to be written to optical media.

It seems that you are right.
Still XP has built in cd packet cd burning so what is the point of DLA? Does DLA do packet dvd?

I can actually attest to the fact that even though Roxio EMC9 says it's Vista compatible, it generates at least one blue-screen error, and breaks WMP11 for Vista. After looking for solutions for several weeks, contacting suppor ("If WMP11 does not work, just use the Roxio player", real quote), and experimenting, the only, and best solution, was to uninstall EMC9. Furtermore, not even the promised Cineplayer codecs work.

I don't mean to disparage anyone, but if you go even to Roxio's own forums, most users seem to be complaining about the same thing. Just my two cents.

No Sonic DLA - Now What??
