Shrink asks for Nero to be installed so as to burn a DVD. I have ImgBurn. Can I change that default to ImgBurn?
Tks

Nope, don't think so. I don't think it's something that was needed at the time and since it's no longer updated it won't be fixed. You'll need to create the image file and then burn with IMGburn after. If you have loads to do you can create a list in IMGburn which will save you a bit of time.

While you can do it by outputting to ISO then burn with Imgburn (which is my preferred method actually)It is very much possible to set Dvd Shrink to recognize Imgburn automatically. It's covered in the link Mozilla posted.

You can use ImgBurn (the most popular) or others programs to choose from to burn your ISO like:
CloneDVD2, DVD Decrypter, 1Click DVD Copy 5, Nero, DVD43 or a simple RecordNow!...just to mention some of them.

I tried the Mozilla method but when I opened the Imgburn folder the prog came up and no .exe files.
On the other hand I managed to burn the Video TS files as encoded by Shrink by using Imgburn but my stand alone DVD player said it is an Invalid Disc although it is played OK by MPlayer. I tried also CD Burn XP with the same result.
Help pl....

BTW CD Burner XP says it supports multi session burning but it doesn't.
It erased all previous files I had on the DVD - RW before burning a new compilation!

Multi Session Burning is only done using a High End Programs and/or using High End Profesional Electronic Equipment.
DVD-RW are use for Testing or as a manual "TIVO"......You best bet is to Start use regular DVD-R or DVD+R to do your Back Up's (18 to 25 Cents each).
You can set DVD Decrypter to auto-burn with DVD Shrink at:
Backup! > Select backup target > (option)ISO Image File and Burn with DVD Decrypter > OK
Good Luck !

Just for clairification, Multi Session Burning just doesn't close the files. You use multi session if you are going to routinely add files every so often. The disk can not be read by most readers while the disk is opened. That will tend to confuse the newbie so Bahan avoid that. There is no purpose for a multi-session for a movie that has to be compressed to fit on your disk. If you do, then you will need to figure out how to close the files before you can watch the movie other wise you will get a disk error "No DVD' every time.

Hi Mez. In fact I did not use CD Burner XP to burn movies but a list of photos which are updated every so often. That's why I need a prog which can do just that otherwise I will end up with a stack of useless DVD's.

Hi Mrguss. I did what you advised burning an ISO file with DVD Decrypter. In fact Imgburn does the actual burning (in my case at least). The result was the same: on the PC it is OK but not on a stand alone player.
I use DVD-RW to see the result. If it is a dud as is happening I wont end up throwing DVD's away. If it is OK then copy on DVD -R. This is the ninth useless DVD.
I am really tied up!!!!

bahnan, just because it doesn't work with a DVD-RW does not mean it will not work with a quality blank. It ought to write OK but I may not read OK. Movies are VERY finiky unless you have a GREAT reader. Most DVD readers expect a stronger signal than your computer burner. Ripping DVDs abd burning them is a bit of an art. You have bad pressings and not uniform quality blank media.
However, I can take a bad pressing that will not play in my DVD player and create a burned disk that will without skipps. But that is after many years of practise. Bad pressing are a new DVD that the image was not pressed correctly into the foil of the DVD. When they get scratched up they are a read bear to back up. That is why I back up when they are new and do not use the original.

If you have a good Back-up on your's DVD-RW and not on your regular DVD-R or DVD+R ....then is time to Up-Grade your Media. Optical Drives are very Unique and some time they do not like what they taste or use another PC. wich maybe and more sure will have a diff. Optical Drive.

Thank you guys for your help. In fact before I post I experiment as much as I can. In fact I did burn a blank good quality DVD-R and the result was...you guessed it.
I am now suspecting that the movie has got some kinda fault cos this is part one of the movie. The second part copied OK without any trouble first time.
If its a clue DVD Decrypter says before burning: Can't find .ifo file whatever that means ha ha!

That is a preburn problem. The ifo file is the master information file one of your processes died before the ifo file could be written. If you were using shrink that process died or got confused before it could correctly finish. Shrink or any other process would not start without that. You started with a difficult job. The reason your software couldn't correctly read or write the file is varied. There are 6-10 sources for that problem including a dirty or scratched surface.

Oh yes the original movie was scratched and how! And yeah too I did use Shrink originally.
So no way out? The original is no longer at hand only Video.TS files on the HD.

You ought to get a (grinder) scratch remover at best buy or the like. Only the grinders actually work. You need to take care you do not grind down to the foil. I usually do 2-3 revolutions then see if I can rip. If not, try again a revolution at a time. The disk will look like crap afterwards but they will read better. They used to run about 30 USDs. There used to be software that you might be able to do without grinding ripit4me and FixVTS.
However, if you used only Shrink it may have been copy protection. They must have come up with more than 30 wrinkles since Shrink stopped making improvements.

A simple way to fix an Scratch DVD is by Rubing small amount of Vaseline on the Writed surface with a soft cloth (Cotton) and doing it in small circules way....then cleaning it up with warm water and a clean cloth gently.
Hope this easy repear trick work for you.

Mrguss, I have used several ointments to lessen scratches with no success. I haven't tried anything other than cleaning and grinding in 3-4 years. It sounds like you are cleaning dirt out of the scratches not taking them down. What ever works. Grinding is a pain and you can ruin the disk.
I am interested to hear more but very sceptical. How many have you done that way and were they carefully cleaned before hand? My surface treatment is Windex before any backup. Then if there are problems clean with dishwashing deturgent then grinding as a last resort.

Yes, since you said the error was that the master file was missing. How are you going to get it without the original?

The Windex Trick is when you have a New or almost New DVD to Backup or to Play it back (Playback). or a Dish washer deterget as a last thing to do.
But I am talking about "Data Recovery".....not that this will gonna work the whole time for everybody, 'cos it depends of the Situation. They are DVD's or CD's that they are so scratch-up all way to the another face where the logo is at.
The Logo Face is more important that the writed face.....'cos the Logo face act as a mirrow; and if you Scrach the Mirrow Face, then the DVD or CD is almost complete ruin.
I hope This Tips can help some people out there.
