CD/DVD Validator
I've recently been viewing previously burnt CD's and DVD's when I noticed some of the data on the disc was currupted.
Is there a program/technique I can use to check if a cd/dvd is not damaged.
I would have thought that if its a cd full of videos, and i sorted by duration, that damaged videos' durations couldnt be calculated. but this isnt the case for some reason.
any insight would be great.
thanks

Go and look at codedk's PAQ's, he has a simmiliar question with regards to this. Also are the dvd's / cd's you have burnt, do they contain actual movie files ie mpeg, avi or something like that or are they vcd, dvd movies or what ?
Sorry I couldnt post the PAQ earlier on but here it is :

I am not sure of much use that will be to you :)

sorry i should have done an update beforer hand!
i tried programs like cdCheck and recovery, but like in that PAQ, it takes an hour to validate a DVD. i suppose what im looking for is a quick method
i previously copied the whole of the copied disc to my harddrive, but this can take the best of 5-10mins with a dvd, and if an error occurs it usually states something like: cyclic redundancy check
the dvd's and cds are all of type; data disc. usually full of wmv's, avi's, maybe even files etc.

If you use gpost for them, wont it tell you if the file is corrput or of the correct file length , etc ?
Haha... just saw this question...
I'll provide my name as a link to my PAQ's so i want a share of the points... :)
And the answer is DVDX Rescue as i point out to my question....

gecko: ive just tried gspot for the video files, but it doesnt states that errors are present. also i wont be able to run standard files through this method.
codedK - ive already read through the PAQ, and DVDX Rescue only provides rescuing facilities. I dont want to rescuse anything, I just want to check a DVD/CD to ensure the integrity is 100%

s34n ... you are wrong... :/
There is an icon (yellow triangle...with a hint "Readability tests")
Quick Scan = 3-5 seconds !
Moderate and complete (vary)....
Results :
Disc appears to be bad, 173 sectors per second, 24.74% soft errors, 0.00% hard errors..
And then you can if u want ... use rescue.
Though it doesnt fully support packet-writing.
