well one could do an md5sum of the freshly-written image. but that's a pain having to dd over 4GB of data.
in my experience, if the writer and some other drive are on the same IDE channel, and you do something else which exercises the disk, you will see errors when the writer's buffer underruns. On 12/12/06, Pablo Manalastas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
When writing an 8x DVD using the GUI DVD-writing program on Linux, which I believe uses the cdrecord program underneath, which is a painstakingly sloooow process, if the screensaver kicks in, is the resulting DVD corrupted in any way? I've written some DVDs, with the screensaver kicking in sometime during the burning process, and the DVDs seem to be readable, but I'm not *really* sure, because my use of these freshly written DVDs did not involve reading the whole thing. Any ideas?
