What program are you using to burn?

What brand of media (blanks disc's) are you using?

How fast are you burning?

Listen to setarip, anything including and over 8x and your bound to get a percentage of failed or jumpy burns, think of it as if you were making love, slowly and surely

but i've been burning at this speed for months and have never had problem i've even burned at 16x

@Dawon Brackins

What would you rather do - save 5 or 6 minutes (compared to a 4x burn) or throw away a coaster and do it again, taking more time than you would have taken by burning at 4x in the first place?

I use Riteks too; I burn at 4x and have never had a bad burn - ever!

There's good advice here for you. You might like to consider taking it, instead of arguing with people who have "been there and done that".

"but i've been burning at this speed for months and have never had problem i've even burned at 16x"

By all means, feel free to continue at a higher than experience has proven to be prudent - but then you'll never know if this minor change that I've suggested will make your media usable, as other than coasters...

when using dvd shrink how do you control the burn speed

[blutach]

2 easy ways:

1. Burn with DVD Decrypter - where you can set the speed once and for all.

2. Output to hard drive folder and then open Nero manually, where you can set the speed manually.

Both methods allow you the added comfort of being able to verify your burn.

Guides to both ways:
