Used in many programs, especially DVD and Codec software, needed for some video types to play, leave it alone.. WMV (DRM), WMA (DRM) , WMH, WMVHD and MP4HD will not play if unloaded/deleted.

when installing CloneDVD this installation wrote to this file....as it had previously expired as a trial ver., I thought to uninstall and clean registry, then reinstall..wondering where the time counter was kept....I still don't know... try using What's Running prgm to see how anything else accesses pcouffin.sys

Low-level CD-ROM driver installed by ConvertXtoDVD, is buggy and makes your system BSOD with PFN_LIST_CORRUPT 0x000004E error. Get rid of this software, there are hundreds of alternatives, besides an AVI-encoding application has no rights to start screwing with low-level cdrom drivers anyway.
