bad media question

[Sliztzan]

Unfortunately I've burn many DVDs without verifying each one, or about 50 total. I want to go back and check them now to see if anymore are bad. Is there a easy way of doing that without having to try to make a image with each one?

Unless you have the original data on your HDD I don't see how this would be possible.

Ok I'll just have to make img then. Thanks for reply.

By the way...sexy avatar. Who is she? Anymore pics?

you could use verify mode to check if the disc is readable, check the graph , afterwards to see if the read was a smooth curve using dvd infopro

of course, you can't verify against the original image

the issue with these discs, besides being Ritek, is the bad ones fail near the outer edge (these are dual layer) or about half way through the sectors when verifying.

 

see this thread where I was getting I/O errors. Can I still do what you say?

if you can read them back to your hdd, then you can reburn them , other than that , its a case of starting again

one issue with that drive might be it's ability to read dual layer at 12x, setting a lower read speed might be helpful in reading the data back

 

whether it would obey that command is another matter

 

anybody good with japanese?
