DVD burner.

There is a freeware program that will do all that and it's called dvdshrink.

Here's the link

That's the ONE! DvdShrink. I knew it was free I just could not remember what it was called ...

The dvd I ripped and burned will not play on my pc. Any other dvd will play using power dvd. What am I doing wrong? Have I got the settings wrong in dvd shrink, could it be my dvd burner or should I just admit defeat and give it up as a bad job?

Will it not play at all now or is it just not playing the sound? Power DVD will play MPEG2 files from data DVD's. If it's nto playing at all on your DVD player, t could be that you burned it using the wrong format and while Power DVD sees the video file and plays it your DVD player won't.

Thanks for everyone's help. I still can't burn any dvds so I have decided not to waste anymore time and have decided to give it up as a bad job. Only problem I have now is, I am stuck with a dvd rewriter I will never use.

Ripping and then burning a DVD is not a straightforward job but once you get it nailed it's pretty straightforward. When I was burning videos onto DVD's I wasted loads of them before I got it right, now it works pretty much first time every time. I'd keep at it if I were you but obviously that your decision ...

If you want to sell the DVD Burner try the Classified section or eBay ...

Yippee! I finally have sound on my dvds. The problem? I only had the scart leads in the wrong sockets at the back of the dvd player. My dear wife swapped them over last night and, Hey presto! I have just ripped and burned a dvd and everything is fine. Do I feel stupid?
