I am new to making DVD backups. I started with a Sony DVD RW DW-U14A used for ripping and burning with DVD Shrink 3.1 and Nero 6 Ultra. All attempts were successful. Just installed a Pioneer DVD-120 ROM, Firmware 1.23, for reading source DVDs and haven't had a successful burn yet, 3 coasters yesterday. Using DVD Shrink 3.1 with the Pioneer I have gotten read errors during the analyzing phase when files are saved to the hard drive. The times I haven't gotten errors during analyzing I get data rreading errors when burning to the Sony. The Pioneer works fine playing movies, making direct disk to disk copies and seems to work using DVD Decryptor, although I haven't quite got my mind wrapped around how that program works yet. Bottom line; I would like to keep using DVD Shrink with the Pioneer for ripping and Sony for burning but I don't need any more coasters. Is anyone aware of conflicts between this Pioneer unit and DVD Shrink? Any suggestions to correct would br greatly appreciated
