Hello,
I'm new to this forum and I want to thank you in advance for any help. I'm sorry if my question has been answered elsewhere in this forum, but I couldn't find any help:

I have used DVD Shrink and I'm trying to burn a DVD with Sonic's MyDVD software. I get an error message that says "A thumbnail could not be created. You don't have a proper decoder--47010."

The DVD files will play in Window Media Player, but won't burn to a disc in Sonic MyDVD.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
John

hello yanksfan,

there r many different ways and programs 2 burn dvds.
U can try with ImgBurn? which is free

Also i have used all of the sonic burning programs in the past and did not like them at all, used them because they came with the burner i bought. i now use Nero burning rom and in my opinion is extremly better then sonic, u can do a free trial of Nero too.

Another thing is what media r u using?

sorry 2 say this but those r considered 2 be crap media,
Memorex are known around here at AD as Memosux,

if u dont want to try better media then maybe u could try a different burning program to see if that type of media works with.

BTW Verbatims,
Sony(Made in Japan)
Maxell(made in japan)
Fuji(Made in Japan)
Taiyo yuden
These are the best media u can use

It figures, the guy at Best Buy said they were good DVD's. I've used Memorex for CD's and they worked fine.

I got a deal on the Memorex DVD-R's: 100 for $32.

I just burned a CD using Nero and DVD43. It seems to have worked.

I will try ImgBurn also.

Also, I just tried to burn a DVD that was too big for the Memorex DVD-R. What's up with this? Did I get the wrong type of blank DVD? I need about 7,000 bites but the disc's capacity is around 4,500 bites.

Any suggestions?

If you ran the file through Shrink and it is still to big to burn, process a second time through Shrink. If you do not want the entire DVD copied, you can use the reauthor mode and get rid of everything other than the main movie, this will help decrease the file size without effecting the compression quality.

Is this a common problem? Do commercially available DVD's have more data than normal blank DVD's?

@ yanksfan,

yes most of all the commercial dvds are DL(8.5Gs) disks which have more than 4.7Gs, that is why u have to shrink them in order 2 fit on a SL(4.7Gs) disk.

and yes that best buy person didn't know what he was talking about.
U could find deals like that for that other media i listed too. just recently officeMax had verbs 50 pack for 15$, they usually have those on sale once every month. but u should still try the IMGburn.
