Trying to burn a EZDVDShrink converted DVD. I got an incompatible disc error with EZDVDShrink also. Here's my Nero log: Is there somewhere I can go to find which media works the best with my recorder. I'm hesitant to spend $25 on media which may not work. This log was from a Newegg disc which came with the burner. I got the same error using the Lite-On supplied disc which came with the burner.

You nero is out of date, current vers. is now 6.6.0.18. Try something other than Ritek, it kinda sorta not really sucks now. Really depends on who you ask. But if you ask me that illegal disc error is evidence enough of it's quality. try 4x burn speed.
