I'm having a problem burning dvds using shrink then dvddecrypter. It's very hit and miss sometimes it works sometimes I get errors. I've tried 3 different types of media still the same thing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is the error I get when I try to burn a disc:

jkmetz What media are you using and have you updated your firmware for your DVD burner. Best media to use is verbatim and then Sony and Maxell are good. Here is a couple better programs to use when ripping and burning DVD's. If you want to go free then try the first one's and if you are upto paying and want the best out there try the second. Most people here use AnyDVD and Clone DVD II. DVDFab is free and you can still use Shrink which I still do sometimes. If you buy AnyDVD you can use AnyDVD in the background and use DVD Shrink. The
AnyDVD gives you a free full program for 21 days to try and use along with Clone DVD II. if you have any problems please get back with someone here and they will be glad to help. Good luck.
