Just out of interest,

can you close the DVD's on your PC?

I got a DVD off a mate who burnt the James Martin Mille Miglia thing off from his Sky+ for me.

My new Sony DVD won't play it.

Can I put said DVD into my PC and use PC software to "close" it or does it have to be "closed" on the recorder that burnt it.......?

Will try it anyway when I get home but just read this thread and thought I'd ask.

It would be worth a try but not 100% certain it will work. The DVD player in your PC would certainly have to be a DVD recorder (R/W DVD) for it to have any chance of working.
