    hi guys, i recently installed nero 8 and had to reinstall dvd shrink to get the option to burn with nero to show up, and it all went fine. but then the second time i tried to backup a dvd, the option was gone again. so i quickly reinstalled and it came back. now, the third time, its gone again. i really dont want to be reinstalling everytime that i use it to get it to work nicely with nero, so any ideas on what i can to to fix it? running vista home premium. thank you in advance, any help is greatly appreciated, tristan.

    @LOCOENG, It has been reported by some members that this is a common error when using Nero 8, Cheers.

    I really don't keep up with Nero 8 or Vista so I'm kinda outta the loop. Is there a fix yet?

    As Gwen stated Binkie7 would be the one who knows. Give her a few hours as it is 530am here on the east coast of the US.

    lol - yeah 5:30 a.m. is a bit early for me :)

    This is a different problem then the one that's been reported. Using Nero 8 to autoburn w/ Shrink somehow screws up the file structure. Some players won't play the disc or in my case the movie either started at the credits or the last 25 mins.
    Now if you take those same files that Shrink saved to your hard drive and burn them w/ Express or Burning Rom - all is good - just the autoburn screws things up.

    Tristan86 - have you checked those discs that were autoburned w/ Nero?
    Do they play okay?

    Hmmm if you haven't tried this already - I'd try doing a clean install of Nero - might help. Uninstall Nero using the clean tool.

    I have the opposite problem (running XP) does autoburn but the disc is worthless since the file structure is somehow screwed up :).

    Another option is use Recode instead of Shrink. imho faster and does a little better job.
