What is your specific problem?
Burning?
What process of programs are you using for the backup?
What brand of disks are you using?
What speed are you burning at?
we need more info to help.
if you are burning with Nero post a burn log

What operating system do you have?
You need to see where the problem is. Rip the source files to the hard drive and open and check. Then use Shrink and save the output to the hard drive. Again check the files. Then burn the Shrink output from the hard drive and check. It always helps knowning where the failure occurs.

from original post,
you having trouble with playback?
Dynex media might be the problem, also the burn speed too, (you said you bunn at max) what speed does it burn at?
Put a blank dvd in and open decrypter and then post same info, post your burners model number and firmware
then post the MID info for the blank media(dynex) you are using

Bowler,
With a 4X burner it can't go too fast. I agree it could be the media. Looks like you got it covered if it's in the burn sequence. Firmware is becoming a serious problem with the older drives. Some won't handle the new high speed media without a firmware upgrade and a bunch haven't been upgraded.

pacman,
yeah, we need the model of the burner to see if it is a 4x burner(if it is it has to be really old)

You were guessing it might be the disks. I think you are right! They are only a very short step away from non branded disks. I have seen them as low as $5/50 and I still would not buy them.
Also I was not ever able to get my burner of that era to even read fast cheep disks. Not even after I loaded the latest firmware. When firmware is not enough it is time to load new hardware. It is time to save some money and buy a new burner.

It's nice to have the dual layer option, but I still do most of my burns to DVD5. That's what transcoding software like Shrink and encoding software like Rebuilder are for, to fit those larger files to smaller discs. Rebuilder does it so well I don't worry about editing extras. Using the quality settings in 3.2 Shrink does a good backup.
I had a 4X burner and kept it until it went bad. It lasted a long time, so no complaints. What I liked best was being able to toss in the disc and never having to worry about setting the speed. I don't like burning at max with 16X media.
I think I'd find the problem before ditching the drive. Bowler showed you how to ID the drive using DVD Decrypter. What does that program list your drive as and the firmware version?
Just so we know what you're using under the Dynex brand, go to CDFreaks and download DVD Identifier. Post the manufacturer ID for us. It pays to ID your media each time you get a new batch. For instance Memorex has a bad name, but they've started using Ricoh as one of the manufacturers and that is usually good media. Since you can't tell a disc by the cover, I stay away from Memorex. I like to know if the brands I buy are sticking with the better manufacturers, so I use DVD Identifier to ID each batch.
Hopefully your problem is as simple as just changing the media. It happens that way sometimes. Good luck.

i think most people are still using DVD5 and wont change until DVD9 gets even cheaper, however it seems like dvd9's are getting cheaper by the month.
just like pacman said thats what DVD Shrink is for.
in your other post i thought you said you use DVD Shrink, is that what you use with AnyDVD?
Also make sure your AnyDVD is up to date(Newest version)

Dynex disc are made by mitsubishi chemical corp. media type 004 recording speed is 1x 2.4x 4x and6x-8x i would think that mitsubishi would make a good product. Im going to buy some sony disc today and give it a try and cross my fingers.

Wow, those are made by MCC, MCC is considered to be one of the best manufacturers for media.
when you try those sonys and if they dont work, then i think it might be time to get a new burner, BTW goods ones are very cheap nowadays, 30$ and up.

The +R Sony are the better media, at least in my opinion. I've got a few hundred burns without a Coaster and that's using the Taiwan manufactured +R (by Sony) as well as the Japanese (by Taiyo Yuden).
Normally Mitsubishi (MCC) is good media. They are the in house manufacturers of Verbatim. A change of media may be more compatible, but I don't think it's a matter of quality (going by manufacturer reputation).
Did you ever look in DVD Decrypter or DVDInfoPro to see if you could find the manufacturer and firmware version?

I have seen several reports like this one in the last week and the disks were Dynex, not that there is any proof they were the problem. Years ago I used to by house brands with mostly success. I have enough back up DVDs that I don't want any more. I have discovered marginal disks are great for data because the burners can read them OK. The problem is my readers have probelems with marginal disks.
The last year I was using a NEC 8X as a back up burner I needed to use Sony disks for that drive. It would not recognize the fast, cheaper disks that worked fine on the new burner. These brands had been OK when they were 8X but the 16X did not work. Now 16x is my slower drive on the kids computer and I am a happy camper. Buying a few Sonys might answer some important questions.
You might want to make sure you know it is the disks.
Check out some hardware spots on this forum for advice on drives. I like Lite-ons they are cheap and extreamly good, especially for the price. Plextor is the 'king of the Hill' but they are not cheap. I am sure I do not know what I am missing there. Better burners read through scratches better than bad burners. They also can write to bad media relably. So you can use those Dynex for backup disks if you find out they are the problem. You will notice the difference going from a 4X to a 32X burner! I only burn at half the rated speed of the media.

Glad you got the problem sorted out. When you've got some time to kill, try one of the DVDs you had before the Sony. If you get the same problem as before, it's a good indicator the media was your problem. That's not saying reloading the software didn't help. By the way, you're welcome. The +R Sony has been my favorite DVD for some time now. I still check each batch to see who manufactured it though.

You're expecting too much of RipIt4Me and blaming it for failure it has nothing to do with. RI4M has nothing to do with transcoding/encoding or burning. RipIt4Me is done with the decryption when it opens the files in DVD Shrink for the quick analysis-compliance check. At that point RI4M has no more do to with the backup process. From there on out it is Shrink and in your case Decrypter. If Shrink is set to burn with Decrypter and not doing so, it is either those 2 programs, which rarely fail, or a flaw with the system.
