    What is the format and brand of the media that you're using?
    The model number of your player?
    THe model number of your burner?

    Have you tried ripping with DVDDecryptor, then burn it with DVDshrink or nero?

    I have it already in th HD all the files that came out when using DVD Decryptor. I'm using DVDShrink to burn it and it burns ok, but when I put to play on the DVD player the player wont play.. My DVD that I just bought today is a Sony DVP-NS725P, it reads DVDR+ etc. I'm using on my pc a NEC 2500A and I have tried everything I know on burning CDR's.

    Can you help me on figuring out why the DVD (Home Theater wont play the DVD) It plays on the PC

    Do you usually burn with Ridata G04?
    Have you played other backups using this media on the sony?
    Could Also just be a bad disk.
    Is the media branded Ridata G04?
    Check the disk with the Nero info tools to be certain of the manufacturer and for bad sectors do the Nero scandisk.
    Is Ice Age the only movie that you're having this problem with?
    And from my experiences, If the backup will play on the pc, it is a good copy.
    Theres could be a compatibilty issue with media and the player.

    If it plays fine on the pc and not on your stand alone player, the issue could be that your player has a low tolerance for burnt media or has issues with that format of media. I found that those expensive or older dvd players have porblems with burnt media.
    Check http://www.dvdrhelp.com
    This site gives valuable info on media and player compatibilty.

    I use the APex player.Cost 45 bucks. For whatever reason, the better players aren't as tolerant of burnt media as the cheapies. Keep this in mind.
    Word of advice.. Take a burnt disk that you know is good and play it on the player that you would like to purchase. No sense in waiting until u get home to find the player is overrated.
    Glad I could help and Welcome to the FORUM!!
