Calum, Ah ha i see it is to be treated as a "data" burn. OK i did check into that on their web site but i didn't find anything that related to "video" being mentioned on any of the program options. Of course it need not necessarily be .AVi it could be other video formats as well i suppose?Thanks for the input. I am not inclined to try anything new at the moment as my DVDflick/Imageburn combo works extremely well. I actually have a few commercial (i bought) DVD burn programs IE: Fireman,Movies on CD & DVD 4,Nero, Roxio,etc.,etc. But most (if not all of them) are very hit and miss and often produce coasters whereas DVDflick/Imageburn very very rarely lets me down. So when something works i say stick with it. Thanks for the info. truenorth
