richcornucopia Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 It depends what your dvd burner supports, what is the model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHalf Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 No difference. +R / -R one is more universal than the other but both will work just fine. TheHalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 Yea, but some models only support -r or only +r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubaseball727 Posted January 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 Well I am trying to use it on my sisters laptop... its a dell inspiron 1150 and she told me it came with a DVD burner, I'm not sure though... But it can definitely play them so i assume it can burn too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you plan on viewing these backup DVD's on your DVD player for your TV, check the manual for the player to see what is compatible.

asubaseball727 Posted January 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 Ok, thanks.. In the guide I was reading it said that I needed to have nero installed for dvd shrink to be able to backup.. Is this true? Thanks for the extremely quick replies!

TheHalf Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 A friend of mine has Nero 7.0.1.2 and can back up any DVD w/out dvd shrink. TheHalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGOKURULES Posted January 14, 2006 CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 Thats only half true,, If you have a non encrypted Dvd Nero Will Always Backup a dvd, but if it;s encrypted Like the new ones on a shelf in ur local walmart, Nero refuses to copy the disk,, thats what we use Shrink and Decrypter for unless you have a modded version of Nero,, well my hat tips off to you then!

asubaseball727 Posted January 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 Ok, so I'm finally ready to burn, and when I insert the blank disck into the D: and hit ok to burn, it says "DVD Shrink has encountered an error and cannot continue. Failed to Create Folder. Device is not ready." Does that mean this thing doenst have a DVD burner?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubaseball727 Posted January 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 14, 2006 Ohhh ok, I created a folder on the disc, then selected to burn it and its burning now! ( I think ) Will come back when its done. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asubaseball727 Posted January 15, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 The thing is I don't think it worked now, do you think that i did the right thing my making the new folder on the D: disc and burning it into that folder? I stuck it in my ps2 and it said not readable, so i guess thast cause it was +R. I guess ill try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synflood Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 The safest bet is to use a -R since most older players only support -R and newer players support both, that way your dvd should play in any DVD player. I would also suggest getting a decent brand of DVD -R media. I have been burning DVD's for over 3 years and have found BeAll media to be the best for me. never had any coasters or bad burns. It's also reasonably priced at about $32.00 for 100 Pk 16x DVD -R Media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 This isn't about dvds, but what is that picture of? Its bothering me so much cause I cant figure out what it is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synflood Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 Almost forgot that some players are notorious for not wanting to play copied disks namely Sony's, for some odd reason they will play one disk but not another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peepnklown Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 The PS2 will only play DVDs, not DVD-R or DVD+R; if you have another DVD player you might want to check it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decade Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 The PS2 will only play DVDs, not DVD-R or DVD+R; if you have another DVD player you might want to check it’s specifications on which format it will read, most likely DVD-R. I had (i returned it) a new HP Desktop (Dual Core 3800+). Anyways I burned a dvd using it on a dvd-r and it worked in my ps2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synflood Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 ya it's a pooch alright. It kinda reminded me of my dog so I use it since I can't get mine to sit still long enough to take her picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
