Thank you Peerless, your help was received with questions for me, to be asked at a later date, others replies, well I am new to this and lost for words. I am using mpg files or mpeg and I don't even understand what codec pac is? but when I copy the files to CD they don't hesitate at all, but would have thought that putting them onto DVD would be better. It could all just be a waste of time and I may just leave it and stop wasting others. If you think you can help me with it then great, if not then I will just let it go. Thanks though.
