Hello, this is my first post on this site, I have been watching and reading for awhile now and can usually find my answer that way. But I cant seem to figure this one out.
I have backed up a number of movies using Dvd shrink alone, save the files onto my harddrive and then burn the files using a burning program that came with my computer NTI Media maker 8. I have also tryed cyberlink power2go which also came on my computer. I was able to do death race, zack and miri and the notebook with that method. I dont do alot of backing up, so i have just tryed to keep it simple with just shrink and so far its worked fine.
Recently I tryed Borat. Dvd shrink opened it up and i was able to re-author just the movie and saved it to my hard drive. Then i opened up media maker 8 and tryed to burn it to disk the exact same way i had done the previous ones in the past. it started the burn process and almost right away would just stall out while writing the TOC table of contents, the timer would continue to count up but nothing would happen even if you let it sit for 20 mins. I would have to "end program" to close everything down. I tryed it again doing all the same but this time i ran the video_ts files through vobblanker and saved that file to the comp, again tryed to burn but did a simulate burn first and the simulate ran though and compelted sucessfully. so i tryed an official burn and it again stalled at the writing the toc.
I kinda gave up on it after that and left it for awhile. Last night i tryed to do the same with Valkryie and same deal, shrink opened it and saved to HD, stalls when writing the TOC in the burning screen.
I tryed to use power2go to burn and it stalled out and failed near the start of writing, again with a simulate burn before hand that worked.
Im not sure what is going on, or why i keep making a bunch of coasters when it worked a month ago with new titles like death race and zack and miri. Could dvd shrink not be removing all the copy protection off the newer movies? and thats what is causing issues when i try and burn? I always thought either dvd shrink would work or it wouldnt work. and if it was able to save it would be able to burn...
media im using is verbatim dvd r- which ive used for all disks so far.
You may also want to try and Rip the DVD to the Hard Drive Using DFab HD Decrypter (Free) The Burn to the Disc. You Could use AnyDvd Running in the Background And Try Shrink using your Method. And POST the Log.

If Shrink is finishing the process, then your problem is most likely not a Shrink issue. Something is going on with the burner. Could be a disk issue, could be conflict in burn apps. Nero was bad about this back in the day. "InCD"(part of the nero pack) wouldn't allow the drive to be locked for exclusive access by another app causing failed burns. Other suites had their versions. Or could be the drive itself although that is the least likely explanation.
As previously suggested try burning with Imgburn, it is free, and see if that works. If not, you can post the log and we can go from there.
Just downloaded IMGBURN, and it worked great! no issues or anything. Im surprised at the speed it burned as well, only about 11mins for the burn and verification after the burning process. The old method use to take about 30 or so. Thanks all for your help!
