I'm suppose to use a class to store DVD information such as Movie Title, length, year, actors, actors' characters
example,

Catwoman, 120:34, 2004, Halle Berry, Catwoman
------------------------------Benjamin Bratt, Tom Lone
------------------------------Alex Borstein, Sally

The actors and actors' character need to run in parallel.

lines 68-77 I'm trying to return the parallel vectors but I get the error shown on 73-77.
lines 126 I believe I need to use getline(cin,name[index]) but I can't without quantity being initialized to a constant
lines 119 I want the user to enter how many characters so that index will only go that far.
lines 139 I'm having trouble storing users input in addActor

Any suggestions?

Regarding your error, does this definition

string getActor() const;

match this implementation?

string DVD::getActor(unsigned int index)

Makes since thanks. I changed it to

string getActor(int);

string DVD getActor::(int index)
{
   if(index >= name.size()) //Error name is undefined
	return "no data";
	return name[index];
}

but why is name undefined if it's in vector? Sorry.. Extremely new

Where is name inside the vector? Show us which line?

There are a vector of strings called charName and actor, but the compiler isn't going to read your mind and infer that name actually refers to the vector of strings actor.
