    I am trying to back up some dvds of mine. The steps I take are as follows:

    1.) Use MactheRipper to rip the files from the disc

    2.) Use dvd2xone to shrink the files down

    3.) Use Toast Titanium 6 to burn the disc

    However, when I go to burn the disc in Toast, it says the following:

    sense key=illegal request
    sense code= 0X30, 0X05
    cannot write medium=incompatible format

    I have a Mac mini with an external plextor dvd burner drive
    I don't think that it is the disc because I have tried both imation and memorex discs (both dvd-r)

    if anyone has any tips, i would greatly appreciate it!

    it is the discs.. those are two brands you want to stay away from.
    check out the sony's this week on sale at best buy. 50 pack for $14.99

    Man, I guess I didn't do too well with choosing dvd brands! Thanks for the post and I'll make sure to get a better quality disc.
