Help, i've been backing up my DVD's using DVD Shrink and AnyDVD on my Sony PCG GRT 815e . Once burnt they play on everybody else's dvd players but not on my laptop which created them.
Any idea's!!

So they play fine on everyone else's DVDs?
Maybe the disks cannot be read due to the qualirt of the disk?

The disks are made by Infiniti, I should have added these dvd+r's have played in the past on my Vaio. I have recently installed SP2 and the most recent updates for Dvdshrink and Anydvd.

Have you checked for a firmware update?
How about ASPI layers?

ASPI is a layer which helps communication with applications.

Is this a layer on the dvd +r or the original? Is it something that I can do anything about?

As no doubt Nick was trying to point out there are copyright issues here - even if the original DVD's are bought over the counter :smileyblush:

No it's a software layer which controlls the drive.

As DT says, copying DVD which you DO NOT own the copyright to is illegal and can lead to prosecution.
