If you used Shrink with the normal default settings, that means the temp file you burned the disc from is now gone. So you can't check your source file.
The first thing you need to check is the original DVD for scratches. It's also a good idea to clean any disks before recording, if you aren't already. If the original disk is suspect of having write flaws, you can use the free download of DVDInfoPro. It's a great tool for checking discs, blank and written. You can even check your blanks if you suspect a problem with them.
Skip Dr or a similar tool can remove superficial scratches from discs. Many stores including Wal Mart carry these tools. Skip Dr works best for me.
BTW, what media are you using and in what format; i.e. Verbatim +R? Also, make sure there are no prints, smugs, or scratches on the media to be recorded.
Just so you retain the source file in this case, use DVD Shrink to transcode the file to the hard drive. With everything clean, try using Nero Express to record the hard drive file you created and see if you get the same problem. Use the option to check the file after burning. That lets you know if the disc is recorded exactly the same as the source file. I don't know if your standalone supports RW discs or not. If it does, using an RW wastes less media while checking out problems.
Does the disc you recorded before play on your PC viewer? If the PC won't play the DVD, then you can use the RW to record another to see if your problem is cured before recording a disc to play on the standalone.
