max cherry Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hello! I was trying to run Test mode in ImgBurn before writing Verbatim DVD+R single layer disk. But ImgBurn declined with a message: "Test Mode is not supported by the current media (DVD+R)". Before this it was OK to run Test Mode for DVD-R disk. So, this inability to run Test Mode with DVD+R - is it inherent in ImgBurn? Or my drive - both drives (Pio-116 and ASUS-2014) - are guilty? Or my OS (Windows XP with SP3) is corrupted?

blutach Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Test mode only works for -R discs. Please see the "complete guide" in my signature - section 3.6.1.3 Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max cherry Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Thank you, blutach! So, there is no way to be sure that drive (in write mode) works correctly with controller, OS, etc., without burning a disk and possibly corrupting it?

mmalves Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yes, the only way to know if it works is by burning a disc. Notice that this is a limitation of the +R disc standard, not ImgBurn's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No complaints to ImgBurn, moreover, looks like Test Mode wouldn't help me to know if disc can be burned without errors (in my case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
