good advice sorrow, and I would like to add my 2 cents here. If you can get hold of some Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or Made in Japan Sonys' you will have top notch media. Stay away from Memorex, Maxell, and I even put TDK in the bad category due to the problems I have had with them. There are many many discussions on media and if you search, or look in that forum you should have no problem finding yourself good quality media. Remember this, spend a few extra bucks now and get good media which should last a long long time or spend little now and then spend more down the road when you have to redo your backups because the cheaper media has broken down and will no longer play.

@res2cue you had the best advice I have read for some time and thanks for mentioning the "Taiyo Yuden" because people love them and I could not remember the name nor how to spell it
TDK does indeed have question marks recently
cheers

sounds about right. I don't know where you live exactly but I know in Canada they come on sale fairly often. $65 seems to be the fair "regular" price.

I'm not getting roped into an argument with you over this, but when you say you don't have to pay for a program "the way I get it" what other option is there? I know they don't just give it away.

because thats how the programs keep going and getting better, honest people willing to pay for them and keep them and their development going.

First mistake....steer clear of EBay.
I also live in Australia and use and recommend Verbatim...I use ink jet printable and can usually purchase a spindle of 100 for less than $50.00 from Dick Smith Electrical or Harvey Norman

no he/she did not get ripped off. You gave him the option of a free program along with a pay program, and I gave him the option of a pay program combination that would make things easy on him because he is brand new to this whole burning thing. He could make his/her own choice, and I feel for the simple fact of simplicity that they made the right decision. i'm sorry my opinion was different then yours, but the fact remains that you did not supply a 100% free option anyways.
If I offended you by somehow jumping in your conversation and taking over, offering a different solution then you were suggesting.. oh well, I'll not lose sleep over it.
btw, Alpha seemed to be very pleased with the fact that they bought the slysoft combo and were backing up discs almost immediately without having to pirate any software to do it.
I am finished defending myself to you, I owe you no apology. I stand by my suggestions and I won't change my opinions because you seem to think yours is the only correct one.

the need for Shrink is becoming less and less everyday. There are many programs out there that can do the same thing in less steps and therefore remove the need for shrink and the fact that it can't decrypt newer movies alone makes it almost useless.

glad you like it. I like something else.. doesn't make any of them better then the rest. But Shrink is not nearly as good as it was 2 years ago is it. Last post from me, this thread has gone way past its purpose.

Just to let you know shrink is not a burning program, however shrink can link to burning programs like IMGburn, Nero DVD Decrypter.
@AlphaMoth,
And also here is a guide that using all free programs that will not have any problem backing up any dvd
Also if you are going to spend money on a program AnyDVD is worth it.
also like gwen said you dont know you are getting the real stuff if you buy from ebay.
