I realize I'm going to sound completely inane here, but I need to ask. Ive tried to look around on the forums but haven't found a full answer to my question. After one burns a DVD, is there a way to check the burn to see if it came out okay--ie, will it theoretically play fine in a player? I read something about using nero dvd or cd speed to check. I'm asking this question because I want to avoid backing up some movies only to get on the airplane, put it in my player, and have lots of errors/artifacts/etc. Thanks for your help.

I guess I just throw it into my old DVD player and try it out. Now for you watching them on the plane, are we talking about a laptop or a portable DVD player? The reason I ask is a laptop will be far less fussy about what it plays.

a portable...panasonic dvd-lv70. But is there any way, without sticking it into a DVD player and watching the whole film, to check ahead of time and faster, if there are any problems?

I understand what you are asking. I just haven't used any software like that. Hopefully somebody else will be along that knows.

From what I have read most people get problems towards the outer edges of the disc due to cheap media.

So get good media.

If it burns properly and if it starts up properly then the disc should be fine, provided good media was used. This is from my own experience burning about 200+ discs now.

I usually just stick the new disc in a different DVD-ROM drive altogether and DVDdecrypt it again (or even just drag and drop to the hard drive).

If you can do that with no errors, it's down to your DVD player reading it properly after that.

If you are going to have disc problems it tends to be the outer area of the disc as tosca said, and also the very inner area

Majerpyro,

To avoid problems, use good media (We recomend RITEK) Get it from a reputable supplier (checkout on this site).

Once you have a good "end to end" process, you shouldn't get any "unexpected" problems.

I have backed up numerous DVDs, and these days experience no problems at all, but there is a bit of a learning process.
