thanks for that, tried as suggested wtih
AnyDVD, that took about an hour.
Then used
CloneDVD "copy titles", which took another 3+ hours to create the files ready for burning.
Finally burnt a disc, but it had no menu and only played (as one continuous movie) the first 2 of the 3 episodes, no way of selecting the 3rd episode on DVD player....another drink coaster....
completely lost with this one, are there any other applications/programs that may get around this, or is it possibly a 'badly' manufactured disc, even though it works in a DVD player?
