    alangrw,
    Re: "...I'm having trouble backing up dvd's that are a bit damaged with scratches, is there a good method of cleaning them at all? i used water and a soft cloth but still decrypter fails to rip it!"

    I recall a member mentioning that he sets up Decrypter to ignore read errors by checking that box in the I/O settings tab on Decrypters's settings window. I began using that configuration after Decrypter hiccupped the first time it tried to rip a "scratchy" disk. It's been smooth sailing ever since.

    I'm now 4 for 4 on burning DVD+Rs with no coasters, though still very much a newbie.

    If you want quality DVD Covert art.. I'd suggest http://www.dvdcoverart.com

    You have to buy them, but they are quite reasonably priced for what you get.You also have the option to contribute some scans which allows an individual to build up credits which in turn can be used to purchase covers. You don't need to resize anything, they are sized perfectly.. they are indeed the very best quality I've seen to date and the selection is amazing.
    As for printing... basically any DVD printing software will accomodate them.

    Regards,
    CK

    rg4357,

    To help clean DVD's -

    Place the disc on a hard, padded surface, use rubbing alcohol and a soft cotton cloth and rub from the center, straight to the outside using a firm, strong stroke -

    To try to recover a minor scratched DVD/CD try using a toothpaste with Borax and rub with the same directions as above -

    "P"

    Hi guys, Here's some stuff we use at work. Works great on plastic control panels as on dvd players and vcrs. I haven't tried it on a cd or dvd but they claim it works.
