Well I'm not having too much success. I have successfully backed up a dvd using DVDShrink but now I'm stuck. I have tried to use DVDFab, Roxio, and Iomega but all of them ask me to choose a file. I go to the file created by DVDShrink but it won't open in any of the burn software. It only opens in DVDShrink. Any thoughts as to how I can burn the dvd?

hi saugmon. I want to download Nero for a trial but at the download page it asks download to server 1 or server 2. I don't have a server. I only have my own computer. What do I click?

I'm pretty sure they are talking about THEIR servers. Select either one, and it should download.

Thistle, if you dont want to use Nero, simply use Decrypter to burn.
After you hit backup using Shrink, the option will come to selct where there output files go. Select ISo and burn with DVD Decrypter.

Hi DVDback23. I did what you suggested.
Backup done and DVD Decrypter activated but when I put a blank DVD-R in the drive I just get the message "device not ready (medium not present)". What now?

This may sound dumb, but make sure the DVD is empty and that you are putting in your DVD burner only, not any other drive.
Good luck!

The DVD-R disc is an empty disc (I tried several new ones) and I have tried my pc drive as the target drive and also an external one as the target drive but both with the same results. Earlier in the day I did a normal copy/burn of a DVD-R to DVD-R using the same drives and that worked okay.

make sure DVD Decrypter is set on iso write ,also you can JUST use DVD Decrypter and skip DVD Shrink ,open decrypter click mode go to iso read let decrypter do its job it will kick out the disc when its read ,stick in a blank click mode again go to iso write select the RIGHT file and burn very easy to use .if you need step by step view use this guide it has all the programs we talked about here in
http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/index.html
it shows you how to use CloneDVD 2 with AnyDVD in this guide also which is a very easy combo to use

aabbccdd, I went to your website and printed the guide "Backing up your DVD with DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink".
The guide is excellent. However my end result was a failure.
I foolowed everything exactly all the way through to Step 44. After completeing the encoding I was expecting (as per the guide) the small DVD Decrypter box showing Operation Successfully Completed. However when the encding finished DVD Decrypter loaded and the window showing the source and destination. At the bottom of the box was the message Device Not Ready (No Reference Position Found). I didn't know what to do so I closed the box. I tried to view the disc but there doesn't appear to be anything on it!

did you change it to ISO WRITE in decrypter? before you put in the blank dvd also
what kind of blank media are you using we in here use Taiyo Yuden ,Verbatim or Ritek and burn at 4X max.

Yes, the ISO was set to write.
The blank discs I use are Sony DVD-R, 120 mins, 4.7GB, burn at 8x max.

The green arrow was not active. However today I went out and bought lower speed discs and I managed to burn the dvd successfully. Can you tell me why 4x max. works when 8x max. doesn't?
Also while I remember, what is the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R and how do I know if my equipment can use both or not. Currently I only use DVD-R discs.

need to know the make and model of your drive to tell you if it's compatible with BOTH DVD-R and DVD+R formats thistle48, most likely your firmware is stock from the manufacturer, so you will need to update your firmware on your burner once we find out what KIND of burner you have...it's a learning process..but, be patient...you will soon be burning like a pro~ :)
reason why your burner is burning @4x, but NOT @8x is probably due to the fact your firmware is not up to date to RECOGNIZE the faster media~ this will be resolved once you update the firmware once again...
good luck
Recommended Media:
Taiyo Yuden 4x dvd-r TYGO1/ 8x dvd-r TYGO2/ 8x dvd+r YUDEN000T02/ 16x dvd+r YUDEN000T03
Verbatim 8x dvd+r MCC003
Verbatim dvd+r DL (MKM001)= flawless no compression backups

thistle48 we will get you there man in do time
the DVD-R and DVD+R are just different formats most newer burner support both and there really NO quality difference between the two formats you just need to find out which one works best with your PC,standalone dvd player etc. you can booktype the DVD+R to dvd-rom that makes them the most compatable with standalone player but we can get into that later after you get the burning prossess down get your firmware up to date and i would still burn at 4x to be on the safe side for now heres a firmware link

I backed up and burned another dvd just so I know the first time wasn't a fluke.
This time I got all the way to step 45 with the box showing operation successfully completed. DVD Decrypter automatically opened but I was faced with the same problem as yesterday. Green write arrow not active so could not burn the dvd.
To solve this problem (and it worked for both dvd's I did today) I had to close DVD Decrypter then open it up again. After closing it then opening it everything works.

remember to change the ISO to write that should solve your problem

I checked that I had the ISO on write but it wouldn't work without closing DVD Decrypter and then re-opening it.
PS My PC is a Dell Inspiron 8500 Notebook. It has a DVD RW drive.
My external burner is Iomega Super DVD Quiktouch video burner.

I am having some issues with DVD Decrypter also but mine is regarding DL media. I have had no trouble using Decrypter and then Shrink to get the movies onto single layer disks, but when I tried using the ISO read/write mode to do Dual Layer disks I get an incompatible format error message. I definitely have a DL burner, and they are definitely DL disks so I am not sure what the issue is. I also verified that the ISO mode is write not read and that I am selecting the MDS file and not the ISO file to do that burn. Does anyone have any thoughts on what the issue might be?

Just want to let you know that I still have to close and then re-open Decrypter in order to burn a dvd but that still works and in fact that process even lets me burn at 8x speed as well as at 4x.
The reason the 8x is important to me is that here in Asia 8x speed blank disks far outnumber 4x speed disks in the stores.

thistle48 you might try uninstalling and reinstalling DVD Decrypter to see if that solves your problem.
also just because you have 8x blank media DOESNT mean you must burn it at 8x you can burn it at 4x also which you should be doing
