What version Decrypter and Shrink? Have you tried a different brand of
media? Ever tried Nero? My Philips media won't play on my sister's Panasonic
and my brother's Sony Vaio. Verbatims and Fujifilm play on everything I've
thrown them into. I use Shrink 3.1.7.6 and Nero 6.3.1.6 right now and this
combo is rock solid.
