It's not that hard. First change your Shrink settings a bit. Open Shrink -> click edit, then preferences -> change the target size to custom and enter 4300 -> click ok. This way your not burning to the edge. Now: 1) Open Shrink, open disc 2) Click "backup!" 3) Change the target destination to "ISO Image File and enable burning with DVD Decrypter" Under the "Quality Settings" tab, check the box to "Perform deep analysis". For "DVD Shrink 3.2 Quality Enchancement" read the help file to see if you want to use those settings. (I've use the default setting, and it makes the process alot longer) 4) Click ok.

DarkBlade VCD is a specific format (mpeg 1) that DVD shrink doesn't encode to and if your stand alone is recognizing a VCD and it was made with Shrink then it's wrong. Scrap your stand alone not shrink!
darkblade what software are you using besides shrink,decrypter. Do you have Nero,Easy cd creator or some other kind of dvd copying software.
Also make sure your dvd player can handle the + or - format. Did you try to play the dvd disk in someone else dvd player.
Sorry guys don’t want to sound rude, but I keep getting asked the same questions over again. Question: “””darkblade what software are you using besides shrink,decrypter. Do you have Nero,Easy cd creator or some other kind of dvd copying software.”””” Answer: I don’t have easy CD creator, the only DVD software I have is PowerDVD if you don’t count WMP (windows media player) Question: Also make sure your dvd player can handle the + or - format. Did you try to play the dvd disk in someone else dvd player. Answer: yes my DVD can play – and + and plays multi region DVD’s as well. no one else house to play the DVD :-( I dint had any problems playing the other Media DVD-r, just this new that I have change for Ritek G-04. Thx flip218 I have done that just now. But the DVD burns and plays, it just I get the picture go missing when watching with this new media DVD-r. flip218 when you are backuping the DVD to to use the enable preview or makes no Difference???? Sophocles “””VCD is a specific format (mpeg 1) that DVD Shrink doesn't encode to and if your stand alone is recognizing a VCD and it was made with Shrink then it's wrong.””” I know its wrong, makes no sense either. Sophocles: “”Scrap your stand alone not shrink!”” Don’t understand what you mean by that!!! Can you guys do me a favour and look at this site. I got my Ritek G-04, from the link below, are they any good? They are the Purple discs. Ridisc Ritek G04 4x DVD-R 50 Pack http://www.ukdvdr.co.uk/acatalog/DVDR.html BEFORE I HAD THIS DVD-R disc, not a problem playing but hard to burn, every 5 disc 3 would fail to burn. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=67867&item=5112428836 I had this one before as well, but can’t remember the outcome used to backup data files.

Hi guys just notice another thing. When I use DVD Shrink 3.2 to open the disc I get a Not Encrypted on some DVD's and more often a code or some sort C0:00:00:12:C1 What’s all this? Could be this stopping making the picture go away on my telly? The protection? I thought DVD Shrink 3.2 removed all security. I'm Right? Plus I use DVD4Free and on the taskbar, I get a yellow face but I remember when I inserted a DVD I would get a Green face. Could this be anything to do it? I have Remove and install DVD4free a few times, but don’t get the green face no more. Why? I done another trial and now I get DVD Shrink 3.2 to burn DVD not VCD anymore, so one problem sorted. But this DVD was a backup already, and had no Not Encrypted. flip218 Thanks I have done like you have advice on the Options
DarkBlade Have you checked the manufacturers ID on the media to verify that it's Riteck GO4? If not here is the link to an appliication that will do that for you. I've been using Ritek for over 2 years with no problems. The application below does not contain spyware just and advert which it loads once. http://www.dvdinfopro.com/
hi thx i get this under SHOW COMPLETE MEDIA CODE. 00000000 00 6A 00 00 01 40 C1 FD 9E D8 52 00 02 76 0E 14 .j...@....R..v.. 00000010 88 9A 80 00 03 52 49 54 45 4B 47 00 04 30 34 00 .....RITEKG..04. 00000020 00 00 00 00 05 88 80 00 00 00 01 00 06 08 12 11 ................ did you look the the site? what do you this about the DVD-r Disc?
Yes I checked the sites you posted, I can't really comment on them because I live in North America. I can only accept their claim that they are selling what they say they are. You got all of that from the Media code/manufacturer ID? The line Ritek GO4 I recognize all the rest of that I've never seen before. I wouldn't buy any more of that media because it's starting to sound as though you may have purchased some bad media. Sometimes a media manufacturer will dump a bad lot of media to be sold for data storage and its sometimes sold as OEM. Unfortunately some unscrupulous business people will buy it and sell it as quality media. Have you tried another brand?
Blade you need to get either burn&go nitro cd/dvd or easy cd creator#6 or Nero. I use burn& go nitro and easy cd creator I nevered used NERO the burner that you and I have works great with this software remember I have had this burner for over a year burning movies I know what it likes and dont like. The reason you need this EXTRA software is because once you shrink your movie with dvd shrink it will give you a folder with two files in it VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS if you are trying to burn your movie with decrypter you must convert those TS FILES IN TO ISO FILES WHICH WILL ADD ANOTHER 25MIN TO THE PROCESS. I like burn&go nitro only $19 at best buy or walmart once you buy this software follow the instructions below. Remember over the last year I have tried all kinds of setup with this burner. 1. put dvd movie in dvd rw drive 2. open up dvd shrink 3. click on open disk 4. select your dvd rw drive 5. click ok 6. wait until dvd shrink analyze the dvd movie (around 2min) 7. double click RE-AUTHER 8. double click on TITLE 1 under main movie this should move title 1 into the left side window and this will only record the main movie no extras the less the better. 9. click back-up 10. select target drive device:hard disk folder 11. select target folder for dvd output files: C:\name of movie 12. click ok and wait for move to finish this should take around 25 to 45 min 13. once the movie is copied to your hard drive take the dvd out of the drive. 14. next put in a blank dvd 15. double click burn&go nitro 16. click create new disk 17. click dvd 18. click data disk 19.click on local drive C:\ and find your movie that you just copied to your hard drive double click on that folder you shuold now see to files AUDIO & VIDEO TS FILES double click on each file this will move the files to the left window 20. click next 21. click burn 22. wait for movie to burn when done watch movie and make sure all went well if so delete movie from hard drive. EASY DC CREATOR#6 FOLLOW THIS AFTER USING SHRINK 1. put in blank dvd disk 2. double click on roxio easy cd/dvd creator 3. click on CLASSIC CREATOR 4. click on file then new project then data 5. double click on local drive C:\name of movie 6. you should see two files named AUDIO_TS VIDEO_TS 7. double click on both of the files this should move the files to the bottom window 8. click burn 9. wait for movie to finish 10. take movie out and watch it if all is well delete movie from hard drive unless you want to make another copy the move does not turn out right change your media and copy again. I use MAXELL FOR SOME REASON THIS BURNER LIKES MAXELL. BUT TRY WHAT MEDIA YOU WANT. LET ME KNOW HOW THINGS TURNED OUT REMEMBER DONT SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON SOFTWARE MOST OF IT IS FREE BUT YOU DO NEED THE SOFWARE I MEMTIONED ABOVE
Blade I've tried using dvd4free with little success and all other setups I was using xcopy express for the longest by 123 studios had good success but the setup I gave you above will work is the best for this burner make sure you delete dvd4free. Trust Me.
lol ... which one? Using Shrink w/ Decrypter? Also I would ditch dvd43, I've seen too many people having issues with it. All you need is Shrink and Decrypter(Nero works too). I think your steps are wrong when burning with Nero. And you said you were successful with Shrink w/ Decrypter?
I never said I used Nero; I dont have to I have great success without Nero & I almost never use Decrypter I just use dvd shrink with BURN&GO NITRO CD/DVD OR EASY CD CREATOR#6(roxio)the steps I gave were for shrink and burn&go nitro and easy cd creator.
If that was intended for me ... I never said you did either. If you read the first post DarkBlade was having problems with Nero.
you are right;im sorry, NERO is a great product but it does not work for everybody I was just giving some advice because I have that same burner over 1yr now and I tried all kinds of setups(with 5 types of blank media) I think he or she would have great success if they follows my instructions. I also have an external sony DRX-510UL dvd rw that owned for over 2ys and I use different setup with it.

Hi and yes everything is burning and programs working, no idea what it was, i have follow so many guides for your guys that i dont know who fixed what. just whats puzzling me is why do i get the TV Screen to Go Black and sound playing in the Background? when the DVD-r is playing, and again not always on the same place, but i still need to play sense the changes to see if it still happens or not. SO for now Thanks for all that looked and gave me advise. if you see this thread go up in the list, it mean I'Mmm BACK!!!! ;-)
For what its worth. I have a asus motherboard p4p800e with intel 865pe chipset, running XP. My system is new and will do everything “but” shrink. Knowing the software worked well for others, I knew it was my system. All I had to do to solve the problem was download a device update software package and run it. It listed all the devices on my “new” system that needed to be updated, which was considerable. These programs are free on the web for a period of time, you only need one night. They read your system, search for updates and supply them to you. All you have to do is use it. It may not solve your problems. But it will certainly remove devices as an issue.
sorry fkhouck i dont know what you are saying. viper64 are you in the UK or US? what DVD-R do you use? i cant find any nitro burn & go! do you a website? i want to test with diff DVD-r can you guys post a site and advise me on diff DVD-r? not matter if it in the US i try looking at the decription and find it in the UK.
