DVD Shrink no longer burns my DVD

[dhascall]

Hi, I have been using DVD Shrink for over a year and it worked without a hitch. I had to reinstall my OS, last month and I thought that I had everything "back to normal" but apparently not.

I used to be able to press the "backup" button and Shrink would do it's encoding and whatever and then it would immediately start burning my disc. Now it simply says something like (not the exact words) "DVD shrink has completed the process now you may burn it with your favorite software." Why did it quit automatically burning and more importantly what can I do to make Shrink call up the burning software? I do have Nero on my PC, maybe it's not a supported version?

Any help (please) is appreciated!

Thanks

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that the option has already been ticked.

Any other ideas? I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Nero and Shrink. Thanks.

What drive do you have? what media r u using? what Nero version?
Install IMGburn try that instead of nero! did you use NEROcleantool to uninstall Nero? does your drive burn cd's ok???

You probably loaded a later version of Nero than you had been using before.

The later versions of nero cannot be automatically invoked by DVDshrink.

You can still manually burn with Nero Express.

Or you can download Imgburn and the version of DVDshrink which integrates with Imgburn.

IMGburn will only work with a modded version of shrink. the rest does not really matter for his problem.

1st. if you reinstalled them both the first thing you have to remember is you always have to install DVD Decrypter & nero FIRST so dvd shrink will see that they are there.

2nd. I'm assuming you did install nero first if it is giving you the tick box option, maybe not, it might show up anyway's ?

3rd. if you have installed the other programs first is this option set correctly ?


Because the message you are stating sounds as if it is creating the VIDEO_TS folder or an ISO for you to burn with you burning software of choice.

Thanks y'all. Had forgot about the role that DVD Decrypter plays, in it all. I'll check this all out tonight.

Thanks again!

@ Noahtuck
We really don't know what his prob. is Soo one of my suggestions was IMGBurn... all else won't hurt to try! you never know!!!
It's all good!!

[Noahtuck]

Well from his statement of what shrink is saying,

Now it simply says something like (not the exact words) "DVD shrink has completed the process now you may burn it with your favorite software." Why did it quit automatically burning and more importantly what can I do to make Shrink call up the burning software?

It seem's clear shrink is finishing the process as it would if you just made an ISO/VIDEO_TS folder to open manually in something like ImgBurn,Nero, ect. ect. which one would assume also from this is he has it set up wrong.

[t0nee1]

Yes! so burn with IMGburn or IMGtools and burn manually, IMO Nero is his problem and most burn probs are created while using Nero, should get rid of it IMO!!!

Thanks to all that responded, and especially t0nee1 and Noahtuck. Noahtuck you were right on! I uninstalled decrypter and shrink, reinstalled decrypter first, then shrink and now it burns, seamlessly, using Nero! THANKS AGAIN!

My experience seems to indicate oldandintheway is correct at least as far as Nero is concerned since I experience the same problem. However, I prefer to use Nero for burning anyway because I may want to change burn speed or make multiple copies which DVDShrink didn't do even when it used to burn using Nero. DVDShrink must use DVDDecrypter for burning if installing DVDDecrypter first fixes the burn issue.

If you "read" it closely.... because of uninstalling dvd shrink & then reinstalling it... nero will now be seen by dvd shrink, therfore will now burn with nero as the OP stated it now does 8) regardless of DVD Decrypter.....

Just installed latest update for Nero 6 very recently released, and DVDShrink now burns using Nero just as it used to do.
