    I have been using DVD shrink for several years with pretty good success. I just got a new DVD palyer and it will not play any of my coppied DVD's. It is LG and says it plays both DVD-R and DVD+R. Anybody have any ideas? Do I need to upgrade my software.

    try using better blank media like Taiyo Yuden ,Verbatim or Maxell thats MIJ and slow your burn speed down to 4x or never faster than 8x

    Thanks rdmercer1. This link was helpful. I got it to play -R and -RW but not +R. Unfortunately I have about 50 DVD's that are +R. Guess I'll take it back and try and find something that will play both.
