Any programs out there that can test a blank DVD before it's burned to see if it's good? Thanks, B-72

There are two good ones, Nero CD-DVD Speed and DVD Identifier (both freeware).

Here's some good info on media http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

I don't know that they test the DVD, they just identify the media. I don't know how you "test" a blank without burning it.

Some burning apps, I think Nero is one, Sonic another, have an option called "burn proof", this will test right before a burn but not to just test 2 or 3 discs in a row.

If the manufacturer is identified as CMC Mag, you know it's not good!
