For years I've been using DVD shrink to back up DVDs and DVD Decrypter to burn them. Lately whenever I run Decrypter, I get a "timeout on logical unit" error (like, 9 out of 10 tries). I haven't looked into what this means, so any help would be appreciated. My question is, what if I use Nero for burning instead of Decrypter? What are the pros and cons of that? I just recently realized I could do that, and Nero seems to burn the DVD completely without errors.

On another note, I have a friend who uses Decrypter and THEN shrink... that's the opposite of what I've been doing. What would be the advantage of that?!

The error you are getting is probably due to something tying up your burner and not letting it go, like when you rip. If you want to try a burn with Nero and post a log, or if you already have a log post it and someone will have a look see and try to find any problems you might be having.

Ah ha....you are using DVD Shrink to rip and then DVD Decrypter to burn. It seems that DVD Shrink is still holding your drive after the rip and not letting DVD Decrypter access it. The advantage is small in ripping to HDD first, but you have more control over your data.
