Fifeflyer, Just an apology for not getting back to you...I'm trying to get everything off the computer in case after trying the next idea it fails...I could try the solution first but thought it better to have the minimum amount of stuff on here.
It will be fun going through everything afterwards and putting it back on the pc or editing what I have burned as to save time a lot of stuff has not been catelogued carefully, I've just lifted it off as quick as possible. Unfortunately, as most of the DVD burning to be sure they don't fail burn at $x and take approx an hour at a time(burning and checking the files have successfully)it is taking nearly 10 hours of hard slog.
