Hi Oldboy,
Thanks for the reply, I tried burning them from the MY PICTURES folder again last night but swapped the high capacity dvd's I had been trying to burn them to for low capacity tesco cds and it worked without a hitch

, got two maybe 3 more to burn (done 6 already) so guessing it was a "media" problem rather than any software/hardware glitch which had been my main concern...But thanks again for the reply, hopefully someone else will learn from my mistake as well
