    Hey guys, so I successfully burned the DVDs using Shrink and Decryptor and I thought everything was fine. I popped in the dvd to start watching it and about 10 minutes through I got an "unable to read disc" error. The same thing happened with all 3 of my burnt DVDs. I am viewing them on a Playstation 2, could maybe that be the problem? Anybody know what to do? Thanks.

    Ridek RiData. I think it's just the Playstation 2 that I was viewing it on because one of them worked on another DVD player. Thanks though!

    I'm having the same problem with TDK DVD Recordables DVD-R 4x. I didnt always have this problem, i used to be able to burn them with no problem, it started a few months ago.

    krsmith,

    Remember Sony doesn't like to have pple play DVD's on their stuff though everyone does - Once in awhile, ya hit a "Bump" Lol -


    Matt555,

    You need to provide one heck of a lot more information than -
    First off, while you're telling us EVERYTHING you're doing, check to see if you're in a DMA mode or a PIO mode on your burner (Device manager, IDE controller).

    Pete
