A few things,
1st, Go back and follow the guide, STEP BY STEP -
If necessary, go here to start all over - a guide for DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter -
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2/74599
Remember, if you want to play on your PC when you're doing DVD's don't expect a good backup -
Relax, take your time, go over each step slowly -
I've got faith in you -
Burn on -
Pete

LOL @ mistake made but you ended up at the right place swenyb in my humble opinion as I have been puchasing online from SVP [blankdiscshop] for a good few years now & have always been well looked after. Plus they always have a good up to date choice of media available at very reasonable prices :c)

Yeah thats a fairly new thing [the bundle deals] ... there was always a clearance corner anyway
I've made use of the deal where I got 50 DVD cases added for about 6p - 8p each when buying 50 Ritek G04s - lol
And also where I got 100 plastic envelopes for about 99p when buying 100 CD-Rs , it all adds up to be very promising for 'us' [the consumer] :)

Since I only have PS2, I can only answer for that. My backups play on all my players, my PC, and my PS2. I have Sony, Mitsibishi,Philips, Sanyo, Onkyo, etc. All of these players with the exception of one were purchased in the last 18 months.
The DVD backups were made by various softwares-IC 8, DVDCopy 2, RB/CCE, Nero, Shrink, Decrypter,CloneDVD2, DVD2One, etc., etc., etc.
In other words all the apps should work the same. Usually player compatibility determines what plays, but the newer players can play everything, and they are really inexpensive.
You might want to check this out for compatibility:

Good luck...

The only way I feel to get this truly sorted now if for you to describe what method(s) exactly you have used to burn DVD-Video.
Be as indepth as possible & you may find that people see what is wrong in the method chosen ... but as BigOrange quite rightly stated that any or most software choices taken to do a DVD back up 'should' work. I have back ups that play on everything that have been done using Shrink , DVD2One etc etc.
I use Ritek G04 & back ups are played on my PS2 v9 or Sony DVP-NS305 [they of course play on the PC DVD-Rom drive or before burning will play in Power DVD].
Keep your patience mate & Im sure you'll soon be burning fairly error free...

swenyb,
I don't see how you're doing anything wrong. You burned a disc and it playes in a DVD Player.
A question, I thought I read somewhere that Play station mfg (Sony) didn't recommend playing DVD's on their unit.
I know everyone does it but why does Sony say not too?
As your PC is burning the DVD correctly, another query, Are you burning -R media OR +R ?

im burning -r, this is what i mean its confusin the hell out of me, if it plays perfectly fine on my dvd player why not play fine on my PC, i mean Ps2' werent designed for playing dvds but i would at least expect my Pc to.
The other day i was sold an illegal copy dvd over ebay, (i obviously didnt know it was a copy wen i bidded on it) i put it in my ps2 it worked fine i put it in my Pc it worked fine, why dont my copies work fine

Illegal copies are still stamped, not burned, so they are going to play in any player. Burned DVD's are an entirely different matter.
Since I'm not there I can't say for sure why you can't get it to play in your PC or PS2, but at least it plays in your player. It could be in the way you're editing or reauthoring, but since I don't know your method I couldn't say for sure.

Sorry but I should have added that if you were burning +R media - that might explain why it wasn't playing. I've heard that -R is the way to go with DVD's for your PS2.
Cheers,
Pete

swenyb, factory made DVD's are stamped out, not burned. Even your illegal copies from oversea countries(like Taiwan,etc.) are also stamped out. These discs will play in all the players.
The R,RW,+,-, are formats for burning DVD's. That's when you get into player compatibility issues. Altho the newer players will handle all formats for the most part, as my friend Pete likes to say-they'll play a meduim cheese pizza- the older players were not that way and the format you used to burn had to match your player's format.
Plus the new ones are really inexpensive, it would behoove a fellow to buy a new player if he has not already done so. I just bought the new Philips 642 for 65.00 at WalMart- besides handy features like zoom, etc. it handles all formats including Divx and mpeg.
Whew! that's a lot of answer for just the word "stamped", lol, I hope this helps.
