How is nero ver. of verify is it good enough for should I invest in something bettter like CD Check or what CD DVD veify programs would you recomend. http://www.dvd-recordable.org/Reviews+index-req-showcontent-id-153.phtml
i don't put any faith in Nero's verification process, i've dissected far too many logfiles where it has given spurious results. plus, certainly when it comes to DVD burning (movies specifically), a 100% completed burn just doesn't mean that movie is gonna play (ie the data on the disc is not guaranteed to be 100% intact/watchable). sometimes factors such as crap media etc just don't get caught by Nero, even burning on a top notch disc with ALL settings totally up to date doesn't guarantee success. What i do personally is a CRC checking program such as dvdinfopro (monthly free trial) from www.dvdinfopro.com. Now as i only use top notch blank media and keep ALL my settings up to date ie firmware, sufficient free memory yada yada yada, i only have to use CRC checking when i change disc type, or buy a new burner, or whatever. i'll CRC check a few discs to make sure everything seems fine, then the main verification is sofa and lots of movie watching of course we all get the odd bad burn from time to time, ie i'll be watching a movie then get the proverbial freezing/skipping of the movie, mostly near the end of a film, but sometimes anywhere in the film. I'd CRC check the disc in question and i'd find CRC errors ie corruption. then (if i remembered what other discs i burnt at the same time) i'd CRC check those also , to see if this was an isolated case or indicative of a bigger problem/bad batch of discs or whatever
