Hi,
I'm having a real hard time trying to back-up my DVDs. Thanks to the advice & guides on this site I thought I had it nailed, but now, having at last successfully burned a movie when I go to play the disk back on my PC and DVD players it's blank - HELP.
Initially I was using DVD ClonerII, the burned movie played back on my PC but not on the DVD players (error message said 'not supported').
I switched to using DVD Shrink with DVD Decrypter. The process worked fine and finalised the disk when completed. But when I went to play the film there was nothing on it.
My DVD burner is Asus 4x DVD DUAL R/RW IDE Burner
I'm using Datasafe 4x DVD-Rs
My DVD players are a Panasonic DMRE50 & a Toshiba SD210, both multi-r & normally play anything.

Please can someone offer some help?

once the dvd has been decrypted and shrunk, i would use Nero to burn it. if u don't ave Nero u can get a trial version from http://nero.com/en/download_de.php?pak=1

are you sure it is blank? Can you play it on your computer. Burning programs can affect compatibility and decrypter is not a particularly good burning program. The best are probably Nero and recordnow max.

Thanks guys,
Yep, the disks were definately blank and won't play on anything.
I did start off using DVD ClonerII, that disk wouldn't play on either of my DVD players - any ideas what could cause that. Or should I just scrap Cloner & get a copy of Nero (from what I've read on here Cloner's not all that anyway).

For burned dvd r's to work you need to make sure that your dvd player plays dvd rs

My players do support DVD r's, something else must be up. I think I'll give Nero a go.
Thanks for the help

Thanks guys,
Downloaded Nero and 'BAM' totally hassle free backup. DVD Shrink to Nero to DVD-r in less than 1 hour.

DVD Cloner was a total waste of blood, sweat, tears and money!
