I'm trying to backup one of my TV show DVDs, and I'm using DVD Decrypter. I rip it to the computer, test it with a virtual drive, and it works fine. I try burning it to a DVD+R, and the program tells me it was completed successfully. But the DVD+R won't work in any player or my computer, and when I put it back into my computer and bring up DVD Decrypter, the info on the DVD tells me the status is "Incomplete". What gives? Any help is appreciated.
I was looking through DVD Decrypter and I noticed that there was a "Close Disc" option. I tried to do that with my burned DVD, and it gave me an error message saying "Cannot write medium- incompatible format". The same error was reached when I tried to close it with IMGburn. What went wrong? Would trying to burn again with IMGburn lead to a different result?
The DVD to be backed up would have to be recorded on a standalone DVD recorder to require being finalized - else it would be unusable on the PC.
In any case, I understood the DVD to be a commercial disk, not a burned disk and since the DVD was ripped and viewed, it doesn't apply.
The post from 300bowler about ImgBurn and DL burning is good advice.
