It's interesting your thought because watching movies on TV is the best, then, if you want to do so I'll definitely recommend DVD Flick because it's free and fulfills my requirements at the moment of building  DVDs. This is the main window, where you have to add your video files for the compilance with the "Add title" button on the right.   Now that you have your file loaded, at the left you will find a bar which shows what percentage of the DVD space you are using, after this, you need to set the principal properties of the compilance using the "Project settings" button. Here, in the General section you must set de title, DVD capacity, priority process and thread number.   Pick the Burning section to establish the way DVD Flick will burn your compilance, as a recommendation I will say that it's better to always crear a DVD image to assure that it's ok.

As you are very intelligent, you decide to copy the first column on another sheet to begin the construction of your desired report. However, you realize at that moment that you have indeed duplicated codes, one code you saw it on row 13 and the same on row 65 and so on. Now, you have to look for a way to do it without wasting your time, therefore I will give a idea that have just came to mi mind: 1) Copy the column in a new sheet and apply an ascending order. 2) Use the equal operator to determine if the number on the left is equal to its predecessor. At this point you will have a TRUE or FALSE in the right cell of each number. 3) Filter the TRUE cells and remove these rows, you will keep only FALSE cells and, as you can see, there will be no duplicate codes.   But, as you are using Excel 2007
