Verify Mode - Disc Not Supported (Audio)

[Frankenstien]

I have a seemingly simple problem based on my unfamiarlity with ImgBurn 2.3.0.0's Verify functions(s) and/or inability to see encrypted DVD-9 commercial discs.

 

I want to check the integrity of an ISO/MDS file pair on my HDD - created with AnyDVD6133 & DVDD3540 - against my original disc (THE_GOOD_SHEPHERD). Reason: my Diskeeper Professional 8.0.478.0 got stopped prematurely during defrag of the file(s) and behaved weird until it could be restarted and finish what it had begun earlier. The backup files show up and are now defragged, but, I'm a little skeptical of their integrity.

 

I joined the forum and searched ImgBurn Support for 'how to Verify' and 'initiate Verify' and have yet to find the magic little piece of info I need to get the proggy to see the disc & start checking the exisitng MDS file (and related ISO file) against the disc (BTW - Happy 28th Birthday & thanks to LIGHTNING UK! for all his efforts, current and past [DVDD] ... I use ImgBurn to burn all my Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4X discs with my PX-716A, f/w v1.10 [& with PlexTools Professional V2.35, supports up to 6X CLV with the Verbatim media] and it all works extremely well together - I like to try to force the burn speed down to 1X with ImgBurn but PlexTools Pro varies the burn speed on-the-fly).

 

So, starting with AnyDVD6133 disabled & ImgBurn Mode > Verify selected, my PIONEER DVD-ROM DVD-106 drive with the aforementioned disc inserted & selected, (Verify Against Image File check-box pre-selected) and the correct MDS file browsed to & selected, the lower left 'Verify' main control icons are greyed out and the Status Bar says "Disc Not Supported (Audio)". Is there any way to get ImgBurn to 'see' the disc? Or some other way to perform an MD5 checksum test of the files against the original disc?

 

TIA ... FFF

ImgBurn won't read encrypted discs - in any way, shape or form.

 

If it really does mention 'Audio' in the status bar and the disc in the drive is just a normal DVD, the drive is misreporting the disc format/information.
