Thanks Julian I'll see what I can do during the weekend.

In the meantime I've just tried Peter's k3b suggestion and
burnt the whole 4.1 Gb in 75mins. The wife considers it
simple and easy to do so we'll stick with k3b for the
time being.
Of course 4.1 GB is approaching the limit of a single DVD
so some form of compression will soon be neccessary. Or
perhaps it'll simply be easier to just use another DVD.

Anyway thanks to all you guys for your help.

Keith
