I have done a lot of upgrading this past month.
New HP TouchSmart PC
Installed Shrink
Installed NERO 8.1.1.0

The DVDs I burn using DVD Shrink/Nero will only play on my computer. They won't work in either of my VCRs.

If I burn an ISO file with Shrink and then open up Nero Burning ROM I get a disk that will play on my VCRs.

Any ideas as to what I need to do to fix this?

Thanks AJMIA

I can never get my DVD to play in a VCR either...:P

I would try Imgburn over Nero and see if you have success. Imgburn will burn both VIDEO_TS folders and ISO images and it's freeware.

OK thanks.

I have IMGBurn on my computer and it works well except on large disks. They tend to get a bit messy at the end.

When I was using Shrink with Nero 6 on my old computer everything worked just fine on any VCR.

I am wondering if I have to change a setting on Nero???

Not familiar with Nero 8 yet but you could post a log for us to look at.
