Well....
Firstly I'm using a product from Sonic Digital Solutions called MyDVD (it was a freebie).
It looks ok....although I'm sure there are better products out there. Thing is, I was just trying to get a quick and easy result and didn't really want to mess about too much. Should have realised that for a first attempt, quick and easy wasn't on the cards.
Anyway.....I used a DVD+RW disc and probably should have used DVD-R (for the Hitachi TV / DVD jobby). Then, the format I used to 'burn' the video was almost definitely wrong.
I'm going to have another go at the weekend and see what happens before I smash the DVD player into tiny fecking fragments and buy a new one. :evil
I'll keep you posted. Cheers.
