If anyone wants me to do any testing I have a DVD writer, so I can try things to help people make decisions. I tend to use W2k (God forbid) to back up my DVD's as there is software for that at the moment which allows you to rip the cd without macro vision (needed for the resizing process) resize to the required size ( >4.7gb and remove extra's if desired) then remake the structure files if needed, then use Nero to burn to the DVD. For some reason I always seem to get jumps in the film though, never a perfect copy.

That's fine, Ralph.

It seems that increasingly the big box office hits are being released only in 2-disk sets, with the second one being full of the extras. Even when that isn't so, a film with 'extras' is often higher priced than the majority of films, so I think I *am* being forced to buy them if I want the film. > I have had discussions > about this too with many people.
