The Incredible Bulk

I'm looking for recommendations on the best one. Anyone have any suggestions?

The only other DVD player I might have is probably eight or nine years old and is somewhere buried in storage. Is there any reasonable explanation for this problem? I know the Panasonic DMR-E85H can play backups because I have a stockpile of them. Unfortunately, they all came from straight isos. I'll check the Panasonic website and see if there's some kind of firmware update, but I have a feeling that won't change anthing.

Here is another log for a different .iso with the same results. The file plays mounted on Daemon Tools and the disc plays in the computer, but not in my normal DVD player.

Also, is the "verify" option important to the burning process? Because more often than not, I leave it unchecked since it just seems to double the burn time. After all, I am a very busy man with very important things to do

I have trouble once in a while with .iso files, but when I have to compile them into an .iso from a video_ts folder, I can't think of one time they played on my regular DVD player.

After creating an .iso from a video_ts folder, I burn the file to DVD and when I place the backup in the DVD player, it tells me it's incompatible. I thought maybe the files were bad, but when I mount them on Daemon Tools, it plays on the computer with WMP. Any thoughts on what my problem might be and is there a relatively simple solution?

Alright, here's my problem. I've downloaded a few movies and unless I download it as an .iso file, it won't work after I burn it. I've followed the guide you guys provided, and I've converted the vob, ifo, and bup files to an iso, but after I create and burn it, it will not work. Anyone have any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?

When I try to use a DVD-R, this is the error message I get: DeviceIoControl (FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) Failed! Unable to lock volume for exclusive access Reason: Access is denied Options [CANCEL] [TRY AGAIN] [CONTINUE] After I press CONTINUE, I get the error message from the first post above, which is why I switched over to DVD-RAM. It will at least take me to the end of the process, even if the product seems to be unusable.

I had the write speed set to the default which was MAX.

Also, I forgot to add that I had to use the "custom compress" feature to make sure that I could fit it on a Panasonic 4.7 GB DVD-RAM and I made it as small as possible. Could this be part of the problem?

What I had done prior to all this was use DVD Shrink 3.1 and selected the target device as an ISO Disc Image instead of a Hard Disk Folder. Which is more effective? Which is the better option? If I could get a quick step-by-step, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

I'm new to this so I'm still learning and here is my problem. I am using DVD Shrink 3.1 to rip a DVD and ImgBurn 2.0.0 to burn it on a SONY DVD RW DRU-820A 2.0c. First off, I can't even get it to consider burning to a DVD-R. Here is the error message I keep getting: I/O Error! Device [0:0:0] SONY DVD RW DRU-820A 2.0c (USB) ScsiStatus: 0x02 Interpretation: Check Condition CDB: 2A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 Interpretation: Write (10) - Sectors: 0-31 Sense Area: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 81 00 73 03 00 00 00 00 Interpretation: Power Calibration Error Second, I tried using a DVD-RAM instead and it went through the entire writing processto 100%, only to give an error at the end and produce a DVD that read as "UNFORMAT" on my Panasonic DMR E85H DVD recorder/player. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
