    you need to make sure your using good media and the correct media. Is your drive DVD-R and +R or 1 or the other?

    You need to make sure if it is a DVD-R burrner you have DVD-R media or if it is a DVD+R burrner you need to have DVD+R media

    and good quility media!

    @1414,

    What kind of media are you using to do your backup? What dvd/movie are you trying to backup? Can you copy the DVD Decrypter's error log and paste it here, so other members can help you better?
