getting dvd shrink burn with nero

[TEFP]

i am trying to backup a dvd using dvdshrink

when i go to pick the target device, nero is not listed
i have nero startsmart

Output as an ISO image and use DVD Decrypter to burn, there's no reason to use Nero as DVD Decrypter does a better job anyway.

Your target device will be your DVD Writer my friend.

DVD Decrypter is better... and free. Download it, install it, and use it to burn from Shrink. Just because you have Nero doesn't mean you should use it for everything.

so, let me get this straight
i target it to my burner
dvd shrink encodes it
then what do i do?(the first time i tried it just started burning)

i'm sorry but it's my first time doing this sort of thing

This is what you should look for if you'd like to burn with Decrypter.

Go to Edit > Preferences > File I/O, and make sure the following setting is ticked:




Then when you click the backup button, select this:




... oh and BTW, I've never had any issues whatsoever burning CDs or DVDs with Nero, so anyone that says it doesn't do a good job is FOS

If you insist on burning with Nero, You have to choose it in the preferences.
Edit/ Preferences/ FIle I/O / Burn with Nero

Seeing as no one else actually answered your question....
Nero has to be installed before dvd shrink, then when shrink is installed it will see & list nero in the burning options. same for decrypter.

Totaly agree!!!!!! use nero 99.9% of the time for years and never have any issues!!! over 1000's of disc's through 100's of players...
Usually use decrypter just for ripping, once in awhile i'll use it for burning.

Me neither. Nero works fine and never a coaster with it. Either/or works for me.

I did

Regardless of the order in which they're installed, you won't be able to burn with Nero unless you have the "enable burning with Nero" tickbox ticked.

i'm not sure if i need a newer version of dvd shrink
i have 3.1

when i try to pick the target device all it sayes is "burn with nero to the following devices." then it lists the options, "my dvd-rw, image recorder, and hard disk folder
mine doesn't look like anything you described

[TEFP]
