I just made a backup of a dvd on my HD using DVD Shrink. I think I did it right, It came out with two files one video one audio. My laptop came with Sonic to burn stuff. I cant figure out how to actuall get those files on a DVD. As you can tell I am very new at this. I dont even kow how to use the Sonic program and the manual and help page didnt help a bit. Help would be much appreciated:thanks:

Those are folders, not files. You should probably begin with a basic Windows tutorial, which will help you a great deal in understanding any help you're given here.
My laptop came with Sonic to burn stuff.
Don't use it. Chances of success are slim. There are other softwares (some freeware) that will have more success, i. e. ImgBurn.

Everything you could possibly need to know is in the DVD Shrink guides.

You stated in this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=859015#post859015) that you have read the rules - if that were true you would probably realize that this one is basically a cross-post of it.

Novice users should use one of the supported burners (Nero, DVD Decrypter, or CopytoDVD), if not familiar with burner software. Follow most any of the guides to set the burner selection in Shrink. Then just put in a DVD and let the software do all the work. You can burn with Sonic, but you have to learn how and their guide should be just as good as what we could write for you.
