Thanks for the advice guys! one last thing though, DVD+R or DVD-R? And does it matter at the end of the day? I read somewhere that it depends upon your DVD drive...

Hi, I'm really very new to the world of backing up my DVD's and I am having a bit of trouble. This technique was working for me last week when I backed up my copy of Scrubs Season 6 and my copy of Chuck and Larry. I used DVD Decrypter and saved the ISO file to my C: drive. I then mounted the image in Virtual DAEMON manager and ran DVD Shrink 3.2. I then used Nero to burn the image to a DVD. This worked for the above mentioned titles. Today i sat down to start backing up some more of my collection and it just isn't working. I have attempted this process on four different titles. Everything seems to be going fine. Decrypter runs fine, i mount the image and run it through DVD shrink and then head into Nero to burn it. It begins to burn and all seems well. It finishes and ejects the disk. I place the disk back in and it does not auto load and my D: simply says CD-Rom Drive instead the normal title of the disk etc. My DVD player in the lounge does not load the disk either, eventually timing out. Can anyone offer me any advice? A better technique for backing up or just some pointers on my current technique. The DVD's that I am using (which worked for Chuck and Larry last week) are not very good but they did work. They are Tech IQ DVD+R Recordable DVD 16x/4.7gb single sided. I paid $49 for 100 ( to give some idea of the quality) My DVD drive is: D: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D [DVD] Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is really starting to become very frustrating! Thanks, Saltii.
