Hi! wondering if someone could help me out. i tried backing up a dvd movie and had errors when the burning process reaches to 66% in Nero Recode and 78% if i burn it with DVD Decrypter. Anydvd 5.9.6.0 was running in background, i extracted the dvd using DVD Fab Express (actually i was following a guide). the movie backed up into the HD but i haven't been able to burn it to a 4.7 disc. i am posting the log as shown. if someone could tell me if its the Panasonic Burner that causing the problem or if it's the media. also tried bruning direct using DVDFab, log below. i used Princo A-Grade disc as the person who was selling told me it's a really good backups.

artycuno, It looks like the Media. Dump the Princo's and try Verbatim. You errors are below. Really suggest that you dump the DVD burner as there really is no support for that burner from the company 1 14:37:56 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: PRINCO) (Speeds: 1x, 4x) 2 W 15:21:16 Retry Failed - Cannot Write Medium - Incompatible Format
