    hey when i started backing up my dvd i used clonedvd and anydvd, until i got to a few movies and they wouldnt work, and i tried them a few times but still didnt work...so thats when i switched to using dvd x copy, it worked great for a while until now when i burn it doesnt work. i have no idea why tho. so then i decided to use dvd shrink. so i do full backup and compress it and then i burnt with dvd shrink and wheni ts dont it says it didnt work. could it be not working cuz i am burning with dvd shrink, you think it would work if i burn it with nero?

    That might happen if you use cheap media.When you say that it works some times and then it doesn't.Is that on the PC dvd drive or on a Standalone player?

    Try updating firmware, and get all the M$ patches. IF you have the drive set to DMA try switching to PIO mode.

    Hopes that helps

    The transfer of data to and from an IDE hard disk, or from a CD-ROM:

    Well go into device manager ->then "IDE ATA\ATAPI controllers" -> Secondary IDE channel -> Properties ->
    Advanced Settings. then change transfer mode to PIO only on Device 0 & 1

    How much do you pay for ur dvd's 25,50,100 pack?
    I only used Memorex once for my dvds and then I switched to Ritek media

    what type of drive is it? + or - ppl say that cheap media doesnt work right but i think thats only in -r i think dvd+r uses a better dye or something cause i use cheap $.80 KHyperMedia +r and they always work- if you have an older burner you might need a firmware update- just search on yahoo.
