Michael

thanks for the reply, what I finally did was convert the mpeg file to a 
DV file in toast 6.
Then using iDVD i burned it using the better quality as it was about 1 
hour and 20 minutes in length.
this worked quite well.

the  preference file was brand new as  i had just installed toast. But 
ill try it.

<Do you have plenty of space on your hard drive for the converted 
files?>

yes about 80 GB

<Does the file play OK all the way through?>

The video does play all the way through fine with VLC.

appreciate these ideas and others you gave
