That's the easiest way to burn a DVD from files on your hard drive?
 

As in, I used DVDShrink to copy a DVD, but there was an error in the burning process (Said it couldn't burn to the drive). I have Nero, and pretty much otherwise only what's bundled with windows.

The files are set, I guess.

if you already have the video_ts and audio_ts folders of the movie, i use nero recode to burn the dvd by loading the video_ts folder, then burning from there. it's very easy to do once you do it.

in other words, open recode > record entire dvd to dvd > import dvd> go to the video_ts folder > open> then click next and go from there.

Use Clone CD/DVD, it "shrinks" the file to fit on a standard DVD as it burns. It's never failed me yet.

The real problem appears to be in recognising my drive, not in the program. I don't quite know why, but I've used CloneDVD before, and I like DVDShrink better for my trouble.

Maybe you have a cheap HD?

a reformat maybe in order

Doubtful.
