chaka Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I have had a couple of discs that failed verification listing an Error (Failed to Read Sectors, Cannot Read Medium - Incompatible Format). But I also had a couple of discs that listed this same statement, but as a Warning, not an Error. The program then completed verification and stated "Operation Successfully Completed". The program displayed 0 read errors and 0 miscompares. My question is, if Imgburn states that it failed to read sectors but then states that verification was successful, is the disc good or not? And why is failing to read sectors sometimes listed as a warning and other times as an error that ends up in a failed verification? ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.5.7.0 - Log ; Tuesday, 09 February 2021, 15:45:27 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 13:30:25 ImgBurn Version 2.5.7.0 started!

dbminter Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 According to what I looked up, MEI-T02-001 are BD-R made by Panasonic/Matsushita. Recordable DVD discs made by Panasonic/Matsushita were some of the best quality you could get. So, it would probably be the case that you're using quality BD-R. Sometimes read issues happen, but ImgBurn "recovers" from them. These are usually cased by a drive being picky with that particular manufacturer's process for discs. The one time I had this happen with BD-R, ImgBurn tried the read again during the Verify and it was successful on the 2nd attempt. I then did a variety of read tests on the data and it seemed to just be a hiccup. If you're really concerned, see what happens when you create an image from these same BD-R that return the "read errors." See if you get more read errors. If it completes read, it's probably fine. If it doesn't, then, of course, it most likely isn't. And, if you're really concerned, since it appears it might be a Blu-Ray movie you made, try playing all of its contents. If they play without read errors, skips, pauses, pops in audio, pixelation in video, then the disc is most likely okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 The program reads the sectors in chunks. When the drive returns an error, it drops down to reading them 1 at a time so it can pick out the bad one. What’s happened here is that the drive errored out when reading the chunk, but then succeeded to read them all when doing it 1 by 1. I would the disc has the potential to be unreliable. Maybe do a stand-alone verify on it and see if the drive fails to read it again in those same locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
