Hello

Can someone help please...........I was having problems with the burn time...but this forum as helped with that, seems that im not alone............anyway , i am now saving as Image & then Burning & that seems to work ok
At least it only takes afew hrs with encoding as opposed to Forever & an Eternity !
But at the end of the burn it asks if you want to verify ? or..Eject Disc ?.........to Verify takes at least another half hr or so, but as it gives the option to eject.......would the dvd still play on the DVD player or will i not have some information ?

im transfering avi. files (tv progs to watch on the tv thru a dvd player

hope that makes sense to someone.........ANYONE have a answer

TO verify or not to verify...that is the question

You can skip the verification and nothing will be different on the disc then if you had let it continue with the verification.

I turn verify off to be honest. I've never had a DVD burn successfully and then not verify. Though it must happen since that option is there. I also do save as disc image as well. that i think is enough verifying for me.

Others may think different.

I suppose it just depends on how much safety/security you want to endure.

So what does the verifying do...?.....& is it ok to stop it if its already started ??

many thanks for the reply

Unless you really don't have time to let discs verify you may as well let them. There's always a chance that you might be using defective media.

Verification checks the data burned on the disc against the source data on your HD (S/VCD and Audio excepted). I've had many older +RW discs produce "sector xxxx unreadable" errors.

I only Verify Data CD's and DVD's ( Backing up Documents, Software, Updates and so on) But Audio/ Music CD's or DVD Movies I've stop the Verification right in the middle plenty of times with no problems
