DVD reauthoring.

[Gathelon]

I am a newbie, and having a few problems...when I try an back up my DVD, I manage to get the file into my computer, then when i try to burn it to DVD, the computer writes about 5 seconds and then stops...the disc reads full, but it only has about 5 seconds of film on it. I have followed the guide to the leeter, but still I can't get the film onto my disc. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help you may be able to give me....

What is the exact procedure you followed?
What media did you try and burn to?
What is your DVD-writer drive?
What are your system specifications?

So did you play DVDShrinks output on your computer with a DVDPlayer like PowerDVD ?
Did it work ok ?
If so its a Nero / burning problem and should really be in the Buring forum.
Where did you put the files in Nero and which settings are you using ?
