    oh and i for got to say something about the proble see the dvd burner does work because when i want to make a dvd of say like a home video i use dvd arcetect or whatr ever its called but any ways that works for me but if i want to back up one of the movies that i bout in a store say the matrix ill use dvd decrypter then go to dvd shrink then ill just take the files and burn them on a blank dvd with record now and it work for like 6 dvds and the it just kind of stop i tryed and tryed the same prosess over and over again i tryed new things but it just aint working the programes say that it sucssesful but when i pull out my dvd there is a small ring where it only burnt and all the dvds that i burnt that did not work has a ring on the dvd as in it did not move very far on the dvd however the dvds that did burn right there is not ring on it and it looks like the bottom of any dvd you would buy in a store
    and when im talking about the ring on the dvd i think it meanes that its not filling out the whole dvd


    so please help me and give me more options than turning it back because i dont think that where going to be able to do that

    I may have missed something, but I didn't see where you mentioned your burning software. If the drive will burn with one type of burning software but not another, then I would suspect the software. Were you using a demo version of anything? :)
