dbminter Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I was wondering about something. Can Read mode be used as a sort of CHKDSK for BD Video discs? I was wondering how best to determine if my BD Video discs are not damaged when I receive them from Amazon.com. I don't propose making a copy of BD Video discs, just reading the disc to an image file to test that the disc contents can be read. I realize that if the BD Video is copy protected, the image won't be usable, but that's not my concern. As I said, I don't intend to make copies of them. I just wanted to read a BD Video disc to an image file to make sure the disc was readable. Would ImgBurn's Read mode work for this? Or would BD Video copy protection prevent a reading to an image file? As I said, I don't care about the contents because I'm not copying them. I just wanted to make sure the disc can be read without playing all the contents in my Blu-Ray player to check that it reads okay. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yes, that would work... as would Verify mode (not against an image file, obviously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I didn't think of Verify mode. That's actually probably a better solution. You're not writing an image file to the target device, reducing wear and tear on it. And you don't have to worry about deleting the image file afterwards, it taking up useless space in Recycle Bin, etc. Good suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 @ dbminter, When you use Delete hold down the Shift key. Then the delete is permanent & doesn't go to the Recycle Bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I did not know of that keyboard shortcut. Actually, deleting the files isn't too much of a concern because I generally use the Permanently delete from the Delete drop down menu in the Ribbon in File Explorer.
