test mode not supported for DVD+R?

[max cherry]

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?

Test mode only works for -R discs. Please see the "complete guide" in my signature - section 3.6.1.3

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?

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

Thanks, mmalves! 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).
