Hi Everyone,

I am trying to make a copy of Weeds season 1.
I've ripped the DVD using DVD Shrink 3.2 and Magic DVD Ripper.
I tried both of them because i thought there might me a problem with one of them. But the problem is just burning it i think.
I have Nero 8 and DVD Decrypter and both will not work for me.
HP DVD+r 8x is the blank disc i am trying to burn it on.
Can someone please tell me what these write errors mean and tell me what i am doing wrong.
Thank You to any one who can help.

J Daddy, it is a well known fact that Nero 8 does not work with shrink




http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/579890


Use instead shrink with autoburn with Imgburn


http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/664041

Dvdfab HD decrypter is a better ripper to use.

Try using imgburn as it's much better than nero IMHO.

Bones and RTM have it right on.

Nero 8 conflicts with Dvd Shrink, and Imgburn is a better burn engine that Nero anyway, IMO.

Set your target output size between 4300 and 4400.

Poor media equals poor quality burns. Use Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, or Sony.

The process is pretty simple when laid out.

Rip with DvdFab Hd Decrypter

Transcode with Dvd Shrink

Burn with Imgburn

Use good quality media, burning at 6x or 8x max, no multitasking.

This renders good, quality backups.

Curses to you 7th. From now on I am going to read your post before I sit here with crossed eyes from reading a nero log!! :P

@ J_Daddy
All of the advice you have been given is solid from very knowledgeable users. Go with it and you should be good to go.

Thanks everyone,

I just downloaded ImgBurn. Needless to say it did not work eteher.
I will take everones advice and see if i have better results.

Listed for a reason is Power Calibration Area Is Full.
What does this mean?

Thanks again for helping

Most Calibration Errors are caused by what 7thsinger stated in his post, poor media. Get some high quality media and try again. Also be sure to slow your write speed down to roughly half the disks rated speed at least until you get an idea of how your burner and media work together.

I just downloaded ImgBurn. Needless to say it did not work eteher.
I will take everones advice and see if i have better results.

Means your burner cannot configure the laser to best burn the disc

Reasons :


1) burner firmware update is needed
2) burner going bad
3) poor quality discs

Thanks for the input everyone.
I am going invest in some Taiyo Yuden media.
Hope this does the trick.
Can anyone recommend a reliable place to order them from.
Also what speed or anything else i should buy.
Sorry if there is a whole section dedicated to this topic somewhere else.

Purchase either 8x (the ones I prefer) or 16x

Burn at 1/2 of rated speed of disc


Or in the meantime till you receive your TY discs, you can purchase some $ony discs. They are OK ( $ony's can be found at local B+M stores)

Hey bones, you beat me to the punch. I was about to give the same advice you just gave.

rtm27, I thank you for the kind words.

I promise it won't happen again :)

Besides it means I 'm learning something here readind the threads.

Thanks 1bonehead & rtm27
You guys give good advice

P.S Do you guys know if there is any good quality LightScribe media.
My burner can do LightScribe. I have never tried it. But want to give it a shot at some point in time.
Does YT make them. Or are garbage.

Verbatim makes lightscribe media, and they are excellent disks.

Slow your write speed down to 6x or 8x max. With some better media. :)

@7thsinger, good call
