Thanks Niall, I have contacted www.yourvideosondvd.co.uk and they have
confirmed that this should be the case.

Unfortunately I didn't think of this when I sent off my video cassette
to be transferred onto DVD. It was only when I got back the DVD and was
pleasantly surprised by it that I started wondering about sending DVDs
across to friends in the United States. In future I will ask
www.yourvideosondvd.co.uk to do this.

I don't think I want to ask them to go to all this bother. I'll just
send them the DVD and if it works, great. If it doesn't,
www.yourvideosondvd.co.uk have offered to refund my money.

I will do this. Thank you for your reply.
