Well this is clearly a problem with the media. Could be a one-off problem
with a disk as you've used these before.

Now - Shrink cannot actually burn disks. You instruct it to use either DVD
Decrypter or Nero - which are you using? Are you overburning?(burning faster
than the disks advertised speed - sometimes Decrypter will let you do this).

Which scan are you using in CD-DVD Speed? Transfer rate or quality?

Why not just try to make another copy with your existing disks? Are you able
to re-rip the disk?(Using DVD Decrypter?) Will DVD Shrink complete a quick
analysis of the disk?
