Hey...thanks everyone for the input.

Why don't you chill out? I was just asking...I don't know what program it has to do with. That's why I was asking. No need to be so rude about it.

Just tried again using a different kind of disc, and everything went flawlessly. I think my drive is an 8x max drive, and when I use 8x discs, everything seems to work, but the Sonys I was having trouble with are rated up to 16x. Do I need to try to stick to 8x discs or will other brand 16x discs maybe work?

When I rip and burn dvds using dvdfab decrypter, dvdshrink, and imgburn, I'm getting double letterboxes on my finished product. How can I eliminate this?

I changed from Max to 8x, but I haven't tried any other speed. As it is, it's taking hours for this process to work, so I don't understand what the problem is and I'm trying to get it to go faster, not slower, and without any errors.

Is it possible that the problem is with the discs I am using? Everything was working fine before with a different kind of dvd-r. Then I got these new ones (Sony) and now I'm having all these problems.

OK, I got another error message. Here it is. Now what do I do?

OK, I did that, and now it's all in DMA mode, so I'm working on creating an ISO and burning with Img Burn...we'll see how it goes.

So, do I just uninstall the highlighted part of this and then reboot and my computer will automatically re-install it and it will be in DMA mode?

I looked into the DMA thing, and here's what I found: Here is the Primary Here is the Secondary Is this what it should be? If not, how do I fix it?

How do I change the burn speed to 4x? I can't seem to figure it out.

I have never had these problems in the past with DVD Shrink and Img Burn, but suddenly I am getting very slow write rates (average of less than 1x) and I keep getting errors and the burn process won't finish. Below is a log of one of the problem sessions. Please help me. I'm tired of making Sony coasters! I 12:04:02 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!
