I'm new to burning and have spent the last few days reading about how to use DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter. I tried my first burn today I backed up a couple of my dvd's and to my amazement I had none of the problems that I am seeing posted here. Actually I have just used DVD Shrink and copied directly to my NEC ND3550A, it was so easy DVD Shrink compressed my movies to dv-r disc's, I use these because my player upstairs won't play dv+r. I hope things continue to be so easy. Thanks for all the information that I have found on this site.
