DVDs, Pictures and hotels

I've spent the rest of last week scanning pictures and booking hotels.
We now have half the family booked to stay in B&B at Fluxton Farm and the rest in a hotel - The Tumbling Weir.

I've scanned all Ann's pictures, and a load that arrived from Peter and Janice too. Jane is promising another 50 - 60 on CD too.

I've also been trying to burn TV shows to DVD. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle DVD recorder that I was given for my birthday a couple of years ago. I connected it to the Sky+ box and am able to copy the TV programmes to my Hard Drive. However it fails to burn the discs. I think this is down to the DVD Media. I have then been trying to burn the files from the hard disc to the DVD -R disc. This KEEPS failing. I've used about 10 DVDs so far and have only 2 working copies. I'm using Tesco "Best" and Sony. The Tesco ones seem slightly more reliable!

The show I'm burning is "So you think you're Royal" which featured Grace Kelly - possibly linked to Maria's family.
