A Curiosity Question

What is "VERIFY?" and is it necessary to for copying discs? Thanks very much

Not sure if you mean the mode 'Verify' or the setting in the 'Write' mode.

 

Verify will compare the burned disc by sector against sector from the original source. If it passes that test - your disc can be read and you know that you got a good burn. If it fails - time to investigate why your burn was bad even if the burn part showed no errors.

 

Necessary? I think so - especially if it's something you want to be sure that can be read the next time you want to access that disc.

Many thanks....I was just curious if I had to "Verrify." Now I know it is necessary.....
