thanks for the quick reply 😃

I will take your advice on the HD and purchase one. will ease the pressure on my mac HD which is currently full from the fan edits lol.

I took a look at the suggested programmes: I couldn’t find burn or disco. it looks like idvd was discontinued. And toast is $20, I’d rather only pay if someone know’s it’ll do the job.

I still want to compress to DVDs so I can share easily with my family (who are also big fans).

I’ll post something on videohelp.com and will let you know if I have any luck. In the mean time if anyone else has any advice please let me know.

thanks
