I have successfully backed-up many DVDs with IC7 for compressing and also writing.
More recently I have been using DVDShrink (1.03 and 2.3), usually just taking the main film and sometimes just one extra. However, if I try to write the resulting files with Nero (5.5.10.35) I see maybe only 10% success. The burn appears OK, but I cannot playback on my PC nor my standalone for the majority of attempts.
Similarly for DVD-5s, ripping in ISO-mode with DVD-Decrypter and writing it with the same, or with Nero, does not produce anything I can play.
So, generally I am ripping with DVD-Decrypter, processing with DVDShrink, then re-processing with IC7 at 100%, then writing the pdi files with IC7. This is a bit cumbersome, but works for me.
I have the (infamous!) NEC-ND1100A DVD writer with the updated f/w from Dell and I am using various media (Traxdata, Datawrite, Bulkpaq). Remember they work fine when burnt from IC7. I have PowerDVD and my standalone is a Sony DVP-S725D.
A friend of mine has a Sony dual-format writer and I can always play his DVD+R or -R backups (burnt from Nero).
Why can't I burn ISO successfully?
Why does IC7 burn OK, but Nero does not?
Thoughts/advice?
Thanks,
YYZ.
