After using shrink when decrypter goes to burn I get the following error, "device not ready unable to recover TOC" what am I doing wrong?

I am trying to use a DVD+R, does that make a difference? Or do you need a special drive other than a DVD-ROM/CD-RW to be able to burn dvds?

Thanks for your help!

Hi :)

This is usually down to poor media. What media are you using?

What model is your DVD-Writer?

1) update your firmware
2) Use better brands of discs Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden
3) Burn at a slower speed 4x

Any chance of you posting your log so I can look at it? I will be able to give a more accurate solution.

EDIT: I would use Imgburn to burn it is made by the same guy L.U.K and is the better burning programe out of the two.

Yes, you need a DVDRW burner to do this, your only does CD's
