A long time user of XP >> AnyDVD >> Shrink >> and the "really old" Decryptor as the burning software. I just purchased a lap-top with Win7 and things are not as simple as with XP. Not sure what works and what doesn't. I have read several post and still not sure.......I tried to replace Decryptor with ingburn, but haven't had any luck yet. I downloaded the imgburn guide from here.....when I install DVD, the computer opens the disk in the "imgburn" pop-up. In XP, it would say anydvd was scannig the disk and it woudl be available shortly. Then I would open shrink, select options, and when it finished, I would burn with decyptor. I've purchased AnyDvd and it works great....I know how to use Shrink (I had it setup where it would open the Decryptor window when it finished compressing)....I'm just not sure how to set up the burning....don't have Nero and don't want to buy CloneDVD. Any guideance would be appreciated.............hut
