Anybody?

Yeah I figured that out awhile back...my PC is currently on loan to my father in law so I don't get much time to cathc up on these things. So now I am getting things back up to speed, and trying to do all my updating so I can "Back Up" My collection of DVDs. So does anybody have any suggestions on what program I might use to help me complete the "circle"

Thanks for the help all.

It's not quite clear to me what you are saying....let me take a whack at it and see if I am right. DVD Decrypter was a program that would remove the Region Protection, thus enabling one to back up thier DVDs. Correct so far? ImgBurn is not designated to do that. So I require another program which will do so? Is that right.....In which my next question would be...what program would be recommended to effectively do this. By the way...Thank you for the Welcome.

I am still getting the same error message as before....I am about ready to just saw screw it...I don't understand what the problem is....I guess if maybe I had a few more minds with some input, that maybe someone else would see the problem.

I tried the drive update......didn't work. I am still getting the same error message.

Can someone please throw me a bone here and help me figure out what my problem is. I keep getting this error Message. I/O ERROR!

DVD Decrypter worked great, never had a problem with it. I can seem to get ImgBurn to function for me. I know it has to be something wrong with my method, or process. I can manage to save the .ISO image to my hardrive. It just won't burn the image...I also use DVD Shrink 3.2 in additon to ImgBurn. Can someone please point out what I am doing wrong.
