LazLong Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 DISCLAIMER: I LOVE ImgBurn, and am a donor. Please be gentle. ;-) ImgBurn v2.4.4.0 When in Read Mode, I am unable to select 'verify' to automatically compare the image written to the original disc. The check box is grayed out. How does one enable automatic verification after a Read job is complete, as can be done when in Write Mode? It's a PITA to manually go into verify mode and select file and disc to compare after completing a Read job!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 There's no such thing as verifying a read operation, it simply doesn't apply/exist. I've never known anyone to be anal enough to want to do it - reading and then reading again seems pointless. If it's really that important to you then you should read the disc twice and use a 3rd party to compare the two (or turn on md5 calcs and compare those).

I wan't ImgBurn to create the image, and then once the image is complete, do a verify that the image matches the physical disc. Maybe I am a little to anal....I am often called an asshole.... ;-)
mmalves Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 You'll have to do that manually by using Verify mode and selecting the disc image created using Read mode. For a more accurate comparison, use another drive to read the disc while verifying against the image.

I would rather just be able to check the 'verify' box and have it do it for me.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I don't get why you think you need to verify a read? The drive will report an error if it can't give ImgBurn the data for a sector. That's the whole point in error correction.
