    Hi Folks,

    Im having a problem at this time. I have followed step by step instructions on scuba petes website on how to totally make a back up DVD. I have gotten to the point where the entire DVD that im copying was shrunk with DVD shrink. When it completed the shrink, it was supposed to start burning with DVD decrypter. It looks the the decrypter came up and loaded all the information but it wont start burning. There is an error that says Device not ready at the very bottom of the DVD Decryptor program. How do i start burning the movie? Any help would be great. Thanks folks.

    Make sure Decrypter is set to ISO/Write mode.

    your drive might not be able to read the media make sure it is compatable with the drive (ie-r,+r,-rw,dual layer) what is your drive include make &model if you can and the type of media you are using

    Zappamann--
    Not sure--but I used to have a Phillips DVD burner and it would only burn (+) media--not (-)--Have you tried DVD+R or DVD+RW? Good quality media is important--TY,Sony, Maxell or Ritek--not Memorex--Good Luck

    Make sure your Decrypter screen looks like this one, you can see if your media is being recognized on the side of the screen.

    Well, after 8 hours of trying to figure out what the problem was; My burner wasnt capable of using (-) media. Went back to the store, picked up (+) and sucess. Thanks to everyone for the help.
