You need to use the correct termenology so we can understand your question. A Rip is reading from an optical disk and writing to a magenetic one. Burn is reading from a mag and writing it to an optical by burning it with a laser. The process first rips then burns. It never does the 2 at the same time.

Isn't the current DeFab above 8? You have a read problem. It could be you are using an old software version or could be the disk is hard to read. Is it scratched? I have seen new disks that were hard to read. I have seen disks out of the box that were not playable on a not so good player. It was expensive and a good brand but it wasn't a good player. You may need a better burner to read the disk if you have the correct version of DeFab and the disk is not scratched.

Shrink hasn't been changed in 7 yrs so you expect that to be out of date.

There is a Shrink forum. I advise you to post queries the the proper place.
