Thanks all, some good suggestions,

scouse, I have to disagree about Nero cos WHEN it works it is brilliant, captures good quality pictures and I can do a hell of a lot with editing, like adding effects and titles etc.,

open mike, I can certainly record video to DVD as I have a machine that does it direct, the reason I want to get it into Nero is so that I can edit and add titles etc.

I JUST WISH SOMEONE COULD TELL ME WHY IT ONLY WORKS WHEN I REINSTALL IT.

If the worst comes to the worst, then I will just have to reinstall every time I need to do some editing.

Thanks for the suggestions anyway, I will certainly look into some of them.

Keep them coming please!! (I still have no idea what a Dazzle might be Amos :-)
