    Okay, here I am again. Let's look at this logically. If you could open your RW disk with Shrink and see the preview in the quick analysis window all the way to the end of the show then we know that Shrink will handle that file. You chose "backup to .ISO". Did you make a note where the destination of the .ISO was going to be. Strange as it may seem, I've seen Shrink sometimes change that target and it would be easy not to notice if you weren't checking. Now I take it you would have clicked OK which woud have started the encoding to .ISO process. Did you see your TV show encoding in the preview window. Ten or twelve minutes sounds about right for a TV show. If encoding didn't stop and you received no error messages, then at the end you should have gotten a message from Shrink that "backup was successful". If all this is the case then I would guess that you misplaced that .ISO somewhere on your harddrive Hey, it happens.
    You could look around but try this instead: Go to Windows Start Menuu. Click Search. Choose "all files and folders". Choose all drives. Type this in the search box *.ISO This will bring up a list of all .ISO files currently on your computer. If you see it make note of where it is. Open ImgBurn, browse for the .ISO and burn. If you don't see it then the .ISO has magically disappeared and you will have to start over from scratch. Also, copying video to your harddrive has a nasty habit of fragmenting the drive. So after every two or three rips I would suggest either deleting the .ISO files you no longer need to save, or take a timeout and defrag your drives. Whew!

    Does your disc have a RM folder?
    Was the disc finalized?

    DVD+RW disks don't need finalizing and that option is not normally available for these disks.

    Sorry. I know this is off the topic but I just found this out:
    Compact disc” is spelled with a “C” because that’s how its inventors decided it should be rendered; but a computer hard disk is spelled with a “K” In modern technological contexts, “disks” usually reproduce data magnetically, while “discs” (CD-ROMs, DVDs, etc.) reproduce it “optically,” with lasers. I always wondered about that. I got a little bored wating to help this person. I hereby promise not to stray off topic or misspell disc/disk again.

    I found out what the problem was. The DVD title read like this MNW: I tried removing the : part of it and it worked then.
