    Anything over 4.35GB your going to need some compression. The only time you don't use compression is if your using dual layer discs.

    I include everything in all my backups (don't know why, since I never watch the extra), and my backups turn out great.

    Sounds good. Thanks, this site was extremely helpful. Like I said, wish I found this site before spending so much money, But live and learn and you must live a long,long time to learn computers.

    I'll definitly be hanging around this site from now on.

    Thanks again.

    Scott,

    Another problem could be with your PX-712 burner. There have been reported problems with the PX-712 its compatibility with Ritek G05 discs. It could also be the burner itself. There have been several discussions on other forums at http://www.cdfreaks.com and http://www.cdrlabs.com discussing possible component issues with the PX-712 burner. To ensure that it isn't your hardware, I would try using media recommended by Plextor, which can be found at http://www.plextor.com/english/support/media_712.htm

    I agree with Bigwop. Totally. I was having real trouble burning on my Sony DRU DVD drive with X Copy Xpress. My movie backups would always freeze in the last 20-30 minutes or so. Or the burn would fail. I tried everything. I took the DVD drive back to the dealer. Nothing wrong with it. I swapped media. No difference. Did it on Ritek tangos, Philips RWs, whatever. I upped the spec on the writer by flashing the firmware. Then I switched to a combination of DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink & haven't looked back since. I think out of the 20 or 30 movies I tried to copy with the 321 Studio product, only about 5 or 6 could be said to be worthwhile backups. The rest freeze or become pixellated (almost always very late on in the movie). Sometimes I don't even need Shrink because the file is less than 4.7 GB, but usually I let Shrink compress the main movie & burn as well. My current pack of Ritek Tangos are a bit erratic so I've slowed the burn speed down to 2x rather than 4x. This seems to help.

    Hope this contributes - basically, avoid 321 Studios X Copy Xpress - it DOES NOT do exactly what it says on the tin!

    All media will work you need to burn at 4x or less, I have roxio installed and used dvd shrink and dvd decrypter and have no problems I have 2 16x dvd burners io magic and pioneer as long as you burn at slower speeds everything will be fine you must remember that you are processing a tremendus amount of data with video
