I have been copying my DVDs to my HDD in hopes too back them up. I have been using DVD Shrink to get this task done and it works well! The only problem is getting the ISO file off my HDD back onto a blank DVD. A DVD that I copy is around 6GB so I bought a bunch of DVD Dual Layers. (I know that I can shrink the DVD to fit on single layer discs, but I don't want to lose the quality.) I have a Plextor PX-716A and it says that it handles Dual Layer DVDs, but everytime I try to burn to a disc with MagicISO it fails. I am able to burn to single layer discs, but not dual layer discs. Could it just be a problem with MagicISO? Is there a better ISO burning software that I should use? Thanks for reading! :)

Ok, I found out the problem. Apparantly the stupid discs are flawed. I finally got one to work out of the 6 that I tried. I then looked at the buyer feedback on TigerDirect and everyone was having the same problem as me. Talk about a waste of money!
