having a problem with files not being written to the DVDs, I have an EZ-Quest Boa Ext. Firewire Writer attached to a DVD CRT iMac and there was no joy there burning with Toast Titanium, DVDs failed on verification.

Up-to-date Toast? Which OS?


If you burn a simpler set of folders to the DVD, do they verify?

Right type of media for your burner?

Have you tried a different batch or brand of media?

I went a bit mad bought a Powermac G5 and went to work burning the DVDs on
that instead (seriously I had to kick a freelancer off one to get at the
superdrive). I used apple native finder based burning on the G5, there was
no error message given but when I indexed the original folder containing the
files the index count was different to the DVD.

Raw file count should be slightly different as there are hidden files in OS X folders that aren't copied to a new destination. Or have you found specific project files that are missing?


I did a little research and the UDF format can handle things a liitle better
than a normal cds joliet format, so i dont see path depths and filenames
being a problem.

hum. Careful playing the format game. Joliet is a MS-proprietary enhancement of ISO-9660. Personally, I prefer either Hybrid/Joliet or pure UDF.
