Need Help Getting started can't burn copies

[nightlife1970]

I am soory if this is a question that has been covered many times, but I don't know where to look.

I have been using DVD shrink 3.2 to encode DVD's onto my computer. I have tried to use burnatonce to make a copy of said dvd's to play on any player. I am getting something from DVDshrink because I can view the movie on my computer. I can't get burnatonce to do anything it just errors out when i try to burn.

I don't know where to start. I am not that computer savy in this area at this time. All I want to do is backup copies of movies for my kids because they just seem to wreck the originals.

I have an HP desk top, with a built in DVD burner drive. It says it is an HP DVD writer 300c.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Hi!

I'm not personally familiar with your burning software. I'd suggest that instead, you download DVD Decrypter v.3.5.4 to be used as a companion with DVD Shrink as follows:

1) Use DVD Shrink v.3.2 to rip and compress your DVDs
2) Click on "Backup" then click on "Target Device", then click on "Select backup target" and select ".ISO image file and burn using DVD Decrypter"

For your future postings, I'd suggest you create more meaningful titles ;>}

Ok

Tried what you said. Now with DVD Decrypter i get "device not ready can not read medium - unknown format".

I guess that means it can't read my DVD-R's. I am using a JVC disc. I have used these before for other video projects with no problems.

Thanks for the help so far.

Sounds like you've either pointed DVd Decrypter to your burner rather than the ISO image file on your hard drive, or you've selected "ISO Read" rather than "ISO Write" in DVD Decrypter...

My source file is Herbie_fully_loaded.iso Destination is HP DVD writer 300c.

When I look at the mode ISO is selected with a check on the write.
