I have DVD Shrink. I have copied a DVD to the hard drive, now I want to put it back on a blank DVD. I used Shrink and loaded the files from the HD, since I dont have Nero, I put the DVD-R drive as the location in the Browse destination folder. The burning was successful. When I go to eject the disk, I am asked to finalize (what should I do).

Without finalizing, neither the computer nor my DVD player read the disc movie. If I finalize, I can watch the DVD on my computer but not in my DVD player.

How do I properly burn from Shrink so I can watch in my DVD player without owning Nero?

Thanks -- Jason

Hi Jason,
You are going to need some sort of burning program to get your movie onto a disc.
You can use a free program called Burnatonce to burn a DVD-Video compliant -R disc.
What you are doing now is making non DVD-Video compliant data discs.
For success, I recommend you try DVD Shrink 3.1.3 with Nero 6. A 30 day demoversion is avalible here:

Use these guides for Shrink 3.1.

Thanks, I downloaded the Nero demo and it worked fine. Maybe I will fork over the $60 and get Nero permanently.

Thanks
