Ok, so I followed everything exactly in scuba petes guide to using dvd shrink and dvd decrypter and at the finish dvd decrypter told me that my dvd was successfully complete, great!! I then ejected the disc, walked to my stand alone player and put it on, not great!! "This disc cannot be read".....

Please help me, I have not got a clue what I did wrong or why it wont play it.

Well before I went further I went and put it in my xbox and it plays fine, so lost =(

Please help.

If your Xbox played the disc fine my guess would be that your standalone player isn't compatible with burned media. Here's a link where you can look up your player's compatibility:

Depending on what media you're using now switching to a higher quality media may help :)

Memorex? Do not pass "go", do not collect $200, change media!

memorex work ok in my player but overall i would suggest Ritek A Grade DVD-R media! They seem to be very compatible when compared with other brands!
