I have been using shrink for years,no problems,all of a sudden my "backup DVD's" will only play on a PC? Have reinstalled Shrink and tried again with no preference alterations at all...result...back up's will only work on my PC not on DVD stand alones. I can use these useless DVD copies to make more copies using Clone and they are fine and work on a DVD player. What could be set incorrectly in Shrinks preferences that causes this problem?
This does not sound like a DVD Shrink problem. It sounds more like a burning problem. What program is doing the burning? What media are you using? Posting a burn log could provide all the information we need.
if your auto burning with nero 8 after using dvd shrink thats the problem. you need to create a ISO file to the HDD first then burn with nero 8 or autoburn with imgburn instead. you will need to download this to autoburn with imgburn http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/DVD_Shrink_3_2_b_w_IB.zip
Thank you to all for your suggestions. I am using Nero 8 in autoburn mode.Using Verbatim disc's. The non playing Disc copy information is:UDF/ISO 9660(mode 1) I understand all your suggestions but what and were in Nero 8 is the preferences set to burn disc's as ISO 9660 and not a format that DVD players use? Is Nero 8 all that different to Nero 6 or 7 which I have used in the past with no problems. Thanks all again.
Yes its different nero 8 is not compatible autoburning with dvd shrink. read this http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/579890 you need to set it up in dvdshrink,create an ISO to the HDD then open nero 8 find the ISO and burn ,it should playback fine look below
