Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a new compuet. I planned to backup some of my daughters movies onto dvds. I downloaded DVD Shrink. I followed the step by step instructions on how to use this software to burn the files to your computer. I am now having trouble getting them onto a PLAYABLE dvd. I burnt the files to a blank dvd. I got it to play ok in my computer but it will not play in my dvd player. I am not using nero but I am using the software that was installed on my machine. Its called cyberlink. I have searched and searched trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. I could really use some help from anyone here. What I need is a step by step, easy to understand set of instructions on how to do this from the very start to the very finsih. Like I said I am new at the dvd burning thing. If someone could please please help me it would be appreciated. Thanks

There could be several reasons for this, some may be:
1) the media you're using/ bad quality
2) the way the files were burned to disk
3) region coding (although shrink should of corrected this)
4) PAL or NTSC format
5) the player may not correctly recognize the media you're using
Keeping it simple and making some assumptions...... Let's look at this possibility "the way the files were burned to disk"
Players want to see video files that are DVD compliant in order to play them correctly.

Not a fan of Cyberlink and I know it has a burn a DVD function, but the files may not of been burned to disk correctly so that the format is a compliant one. Try this using free stuff.
Use shrink to rip the files with and have shrink output the file in an ISO format to a location on your hard drive (this option is selected when you click backup), then you can use a free app called Imgburn to burn the ISO file to DVD, keep the write speed to about 1/2 the rated speed on the disks you're using.
