What program are you using to burn ?

[allen697]

i am using dvd shrink 3.2 and a dvd decripter. When i click dvd back up it comes up back up dvd. I go to burn options and it gives me 2 options for speeds 16x and maximum. I only have 8x and 4x writeble disks how to i make this where i can slow it down?

[allen697]

also one more thing i dont know if it helps or not but i have a dvd double layer 8.5 gb burner

if you are using nero select the slowest speed , you should always select the slowest speed for burning a dvd to ensure quality. i always burn at 1X and my dvd's are magnificent

Hi allen697,

You have managed to get the speed down to 8x, and it still doesn't work.. Try turning it down to 4x, But use the 8x media or better still go get a DVD rw disc and use that (unless of course you are short of coasters..)
What is the media you are using at the mo..they don't all do exactly what they say on the tin...
Check if the media brand you are using is recommended by the manufacturer..
Have you managed to burn anything at all with this burner ?

i had trouble with memorex discs on my dvd writer, then i called their support line and found out they are not compatible with my writer! i took those discs, threw them in the bush and bought what they recommend. problem solved.
