Why won't 16X dvd media work with dvd shrink?

Over the years I've had very few backups with enough errors to prevent them from copying. Different drives and none consecutive. The HP is even a good burner. It's just in a case with a Plex and the HP doesn't booktype. I always booktype if a system has a drive that supports it. Just a habit nowadays. LOL The flawed DVDs play great, just enough errors to fail at a copy. Good media, proven drives, same methods. The problem has eluded me. I know the drive didn't get the burn rigt at that particular instant, but the cause is what I'm missing.

 

Whoops! I meant Without spending a lot of $.

I guess the Lite-On is preferred. About how much would one cost? Does anyone recommend a place to get it at?

 

Wal Mart is as good as anywhere.

 

wow, that is surprising. I figured I would have to order one on-line. I didn't think Wal-Mart would carry that stuff; I will have to stop in there.

thanks for the advice.

 

Most of the one's I've beem in have carried Lite-On, Sony, and HP. Sometimes they don't have them all in stock. Sort of depends on the store. If you can't find what you want local, you can go with Newegg, ZipZoomFly, or one of the other online vendors. Lots of places carry DVD Drives now. You can check some of the big stores and pick up local if you live near a store.
