DVD’s failing verification
Posted by Michael Allen on May 29, 2008 at 9:11 pmI have been using verbatim DVD’s for some time without any problems. Over the last few weeks, many of my DVD’s fail verification. I can burn in Toast or the operating system with the same outcome. My first thought is that the burner might be bad. I have a dual 2.7 mac with superdirve. However, I do not want to order a new burner is that is not the problem. Any suggestions on how I can narrow this down?

Probably your media like John said. Order Taiyo Yuden 16X DVD-R from a place like http://www.Meritline.com . Taiyo Yuden DVD media has the lowest error rate of any DVD medai on the market and they are the number one choice these days of most good professional duplicators.
Also, my experience with Toast and DVDSP is that DVDSP burns DVDs that are much closer to a 100% compatibility rate with almost all players than Toast.
