I have backed up approximately 200 movies with only a few coasters burned when I was learning. I only use quality media (TY) and burn slowly (4x). I always use dvd shrink and dvd decypter, but that should not matter because I think this is a hardware issue.

Early today when I inserted the original movie the drive made a weird noise. I ejected the disk, it looked fine, and no scratches, so I put it back in. I ran shrink and it looked like it was working just fine, but it was going slow.

When it came time to put in the destination disc (the blank media) I insered it and left the room. When I returned I found an error message. I ejected the disc and tossed it in the trash and inserted another blank media but the same result.

I shut down the computer and returned a few hours later and tried to back up a different movie, and I made sure to use a TY media from a spindle that I knew was good, but the same result (error during the burn to the blank media).

I shut down and tried again with a 3rd original movie and I used a ?wr disc this time, so I didn?t waste any more media.

Here is the error report. Any ideas? Is my dvd burner shot, or maybe just need firmware?

By the way, I really hope that my dvd drive is not shot because I don't have the money to buy a new dvd drive right now, but if I get 4 or 5 responses that everyone thinks it is shot, my next logical question is as follows:

What is the best new drive to buy. I am not made of money, but i burn on average 3-5 movies per week and I want something that will last me AT LEAST a year or two.
