Hmm - I'm up for that, and that's normally my style of learning
anyway, but I'd like *some* idea of the implications before I commit
to a potentially 1-2 hour run! Especially as several earlier attempts
to cancel proved ineffective. In some cases I had to forcibly reboot
with PC Reset button. And the meanings of some menu items aren't that
clear, nor what level they are being applied.

I hadn't done so, no. But I've now retrieved it from bin and just
tried that. The only understandable fragments of text (apart from lots
of JPG filename) were like these:
DVDVIDEO-VMG. (Presumably a format?)
CODEJAM (Suppliers of MoT)
PICTTOTV (Previous name)
OSTA Compressed Unicode (?)
AuthoringWare Co. USA (Developers of MoT?)
I also tried the Run commmand on a VOB file. It got to 17% and then
hung. Clicking Cancel got me out to a message that a certain sector
couldn't be read, and asking if I wanted to delete the file.
Back to the bin!
