About 6 months ago I purchased my first DVD Burner at the local Wal-Mart and just bought some Sony DVD+R's. I tried and tried to get a good burn and gave up. Just two days ago I was sent a link to your site. I was able to get one DVD to burn but it will only play in my PC and my stand alone player is supposed to be able to support DVD+R so I was wondering if these discs are junk or something. They read Sony DVD+R Ver 1.2/1X-8X. They are 120min/4.7GB.
Can you give more specific info? What are you trying to burn? What program are you using? What type of DVD burner? Let me know....
I have the same burner and a couple hundred of these discs that are MADE IN JAPAN. Are your's the Japan or Taiwan ones? Also is your firmware up to date (listed in my sig.)? Some standalones are picky with media(one of mine hates Verbatims!)Some suggestions: Burn @ 4x speed. Try a few other standalones(friends/family). Make sure you have the Made In Japan SONY's. Do not multitask while burning. Do a spyware/virus check on your computer. Set your Booktype to DVD-ROM. (Burner is a rebadged Lite-On) Also...what was wrong with your "bad burns" i.e Pixallation/skipping/freezes/doesn't play at all.... Your system specs? Let us know ...
No, they are made in Taiwan. They wouldn't play at all in anything other than my PC. AMD Athlon XP 1900+ 1.60 GHz 224 MB of RAM Sony DRU-710A(BYX5)
THis may sound like a stupid question but: Are you using a decription tool before burning the dvd's? If not, try DVD Decrypter, if you need to know how to do this let us know...
Just going straight to using Shrink followed by Nero software that came with my burner to burn the disc.
O.K. Try this: For a DVD5 all you will need is DVD Decrypter. Open program, Select Mode>ISO>Read; in the first dropdown select the drive that the DVD is in, in the second point it to a spot on your HD (I have a folder set up called Video TS but I think that anywhere will do as long as you can find the file latter). Hit the button at the bottom, sit back and wait. When done, Select Mode>ISO>Write; in the first dropdown select the ISO (or MDS decrypter will tell you if you get the wrong one, just let it decide) created above. In the second dropdown select your DVD Burner drive. Hit the button at the bottom, sit back and wait. Now, for a DVD9 follow the first set of instructions above (Mode>ISO>Read). When this is done you need to mount the image, I use Daemon Tools. Then open DVD Shrink and burn as you normally would.
DVD-9 is all I have worked with. I have just been using the steps provided in the guide on this site and using just Shrink.
From the AD DVD Shrink Guide: To make things easier, we will use DVD Shrink for ripping the DVD as well as transcoding its material. In some rare occassions DVD Shrink can't rip the disc correctly -- if you encounter such problems, rip the DVD to your HDD first by using DVD Decrypter as described in beginning of this guide and process the material from the HDD instead of DVD.
Yeah but I don't have problems while ripping I have problems while it is burning so I didn't figure it was a problem with ripping.
Right, but in order to get a "good burn" you need a good rip. I am not saying this will 100% work, just a suggestion to try. I have over a 100 backup's. have made maybe a half-dozen coasters; total. I personaly use CloneDVD, I like being able to remove content and it seams to burn well for me, but I have used shrink with no problems either. Anyway, give it a shot, what's the worst that can happen, your backup won't play?????
Here my normal method. ISO Read (Rip to Hard Drive)with DVD Decrypter Right click the ISO file on the drive and select "Open with Shrink" Backup to Harddrive save as ISO. (I usually batch encode 2 to 6 at a time) Then Burn with DVD Decrypter...I never use Nero.... Again what are the errors you get on the "bad" burns? Plus a Nero Log will help....just don't post the serial #...
It just won't play at all in anything but a PC. Here is the log : Burn process failed at 8x(11,080 KB/s).

Set burn speed at 4x. Set backup target at 4360: Open up dvd shrink/Edit/Preferences/Click on dvd-5/scroll till custom/enter 4360 next to custom/click ok and your new target is set.This keeps the burn from reaching the outer edge.Now you will have to change it for dual layer media,but nero6 may have trouble with dual layer backing up. This log looked like the burn failed towards the end of your backup so that target should help. Your drive recognized the SonyD11 media,firmware update may or may not help,but always good to keep that update site bookmarked for future problems.Slow down that burn speed. Those sonyD11 are pretty good,but I avoid them because spindles of Yuden000-T02 are on the japanese spindles. SonyD11 are the taiwanese +1x-8x. Look those wrappers over carefully for the japanese discs. For stand alone compatability: Definitely try booktyping with your rebadged lite-on, sony dru 710. It just may take care of that issue. Lite-on has a booktyping utility that also works on the sony that are re-badged liteys. Check it out here: http://www.liteonamericas.com/us/download.htm Dvd shrink has a box you can try in the backup options/burnsettings/ that says booktype to dvd-rom. Try ticking it.It shouldn't hurt. The plus format is the only format that can be booktyped.
Looks like you get to ~50% and it errors out at sector 1123328. . Is this Nero log a burn on the fly job? If so I'd add more memory. Where's our resident Nero log expert? He'll have more luck with this than me! I'd try some other discs if you have them....see if those fail at the same point as well.
Update nero 6. Latest vs is 6.6.0.16 Update your firmware. Yours is BY03 and the latest is BYX4 http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1917 I also agree with saugmon about booktyping your dvd+r media to dvd-rom for best compatability with stand alone dvd players. Since your sony is a rebadged lite-on the lite-on booktype utility should do the job. Here's a link to the utility and there is also a link to a usage guide there too. http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=83441

Will it play back on your pc? Shutdown some background programs. Have you defragmented your hdd and removed adware/spyware lately? The media you are useing is usually ok but you might try a small batch of good quality media such as verbatum, taiyo yuden, maxell, fuji (made in japan), or sony (made in japan).
No it doesn't finish burning. The discs go full but there is no info or anything on them. As for the memory, I have everything closed when it runs. That is what the program seems to take up. At least all the other programs are ones that need to stay running and are SYSTEM programs.
