    Thread title renamed from "dvd shrink" - a title as such in a forum of the same name is as bad as "Please Help". In future please see here re thread titles ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/440385

    ..and thread teleported to a more relevant forum.

    Check and see if your friend's re-burn is a -R.

    Perhaps, it's merely the brand of media used. Did you and your friend use the same blank DVDs?

    Well maybe your friend has 'bitset/booktyped' his +Rs to read as DVD-ROM.
