Murraymints,
Well,I've had a practise run at recording a series of clips from separate episodes from V+ onto a DVD & it seems to be successful.My technique needs a bit of polishing but that can be fixed.
Don't know how to finalize but that can wait.
A copy of the Owner's Manual would still be very welcome,because ,at the moment,getting the required format/image on to the sreen is still a case of trial & error.
