All very encouraging.......thank you very much. BEags You have instilled me with confidence. Had to show the family your final sentence - LOL.
Everything seems straightforward enough and I am off to the US in January so maybe I can get some stuff a lot cheaper there.
My existing DVD player is all compatible. No region restrictions either, so it might be a good idea to get World at War at a cheaper price. Thanks Richard for reminding me. But I must be able to transfer the aviation 'library' I have and it certainly looks like it is a goer.
Another question arises please. There is a Scart box on the market with two, three or four slots. Is it an advantage to plug everything in there from each device. I have 2 x VCR's, 1 x DVD and 1 Digital Freeview box - then leave it to sort itself out?
BEags. I'll have a look at that Panasonic you mentioned.
