I'm afraid I don't know what to do with a '.pva' file, but that may
be because I have no experience (yet) with DVD.

Anyway, since the problem appears to occur with a completely different
application, too, I guess it's safe to say that it isn't caused by
my Video Disk Recorder software.

Now the question is, whether the problem is in the Linux driver, or
in the firmware itself. BTW: which OS are you using? If it is Windows,
then one might assume that the firmware is the culprit.

Could somebody at Convergence (or whoever writes the firmware) perhaps
look into this?
