Frenzal Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 A co-worker refuses to verify, says it doesn't need to. This worked a long time for him. But now we're having problems with burned disks pixelating and just not playing well. This enquiring mind would like to know ....

theoldarchiver Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 A verified disc may show problems after a while. So if the burn was good, but the disc went bad, then the verification doesn't mean much. A failed verification may still be a perfectly playable disc, without any visible problems. Then the verification doesn't mean much. A bad video file may look bad, but burn good and verify good, then the verification doesn't mean much. IMHO, it is more important to invest in quality media.

Frenzal Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 What I was asking was, just how important is it to verify a disk? Is it okay to skip the verification or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldarchiver Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I skip it all the time, as I haven’t found it a helpful feature ever. But that’s my personal choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Frenzalre- I've found that skipping verification doesn't affect playback, but it does affect the ability to access and convert the vob files in the VIDEO_TS folder. I'm a Mac user and often need to access those files for re-editing projects. I use MPEG Streamclip to convert vob files to dv, and it fails to complete the process and reports errors with unverified data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
