I just got dvd shrink yesterday, and that works fine

i ran into problems with img burn though, i went through like 10 memorex blank dvds and it never worked, so i thought it was just because i was using memorex, so i went and got sony dvds today and the same thing keeps happening..

does anyone know why it wont work? i should i do?

The brand name stamped on the media doesn't mean anything, it's the dye the disc uses that's important - and in the case above that's 'SONY16D1'.

 

As SONY16D1 is a 16x media and your drive only list 8x, I'd say that they're not an ideal match for your burner.

 

Try getting some 8x Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden discs instead.

 

If that still fails (and you've tried a lense cleaner), invest in a proper external drive and ditch the slimline thing. Slimlines are nowhere near as good as the normal size drives.
