Richard, thanks for the all the help thus far, hopefully you can sort out what i'm doing wrong!
I've figured out that the lovely green stripe has come from the Audio_TS/Video_TS files created from DVD Santa.
I have the film as a 583MB .avi file. Everything i've tried has failed (in one form or another!), and im one failure away from wiping it! What is the best way to go about getting this .avi onto a disk of 4.7GB?
There's no problems with the playback, the player is reading the file correctly, the problem is coming from the writing stage.
