anyone use this program? i recently had to install a new O/S and downloaded the new shrink. ive always used this to back up my dvds in the past with no problems. I went to burn the dvd and now am getting this (screenshot). ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/splitmup/untitled.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/splitmup/untitled.jpg) It should say i can burn with nero with my dvd durner drive(e) under “select backup target” just above “create iso image”. I have installed nero and have burn a cd perfectly well with it. I have all the drivers installed for the drive, I cant for the life of me find out why its not letting me choose my drive. Ive checked with the FAQ’s on other forums and found nothing. If anyone knows why let me know. Greatly appreciated! ---

That’s weird. My guess is that the new shrink doesn’t support your drive yet. Do you have DVD Decrypter installed? What kind of a drive are you using, something new? Did you have any problems getting windows to support it? ---
