Checking discs for faults

[Creamygoodness7]

Hi is there any programs out there for checking for scratches, faults etc on dvds without watching the whole disc cause I hate when I get half way through ripping a dvd and it stops due to being scrathed thx

Hello,

When you are talking about faults, are you referring to just read errors (unable to read the disc) or errors in the burning process (PI/PIF) counts? There are a number of free programs, I will list the 3 most people seem to use.

1) Nero CD-DVD speed: free tool for analyzing PI/PIF errors and read errors of discs. I would recommend this tool

2) DVDInfoPro: free-with-banner-ads program that does much the same thing. I prefer CD-DVD speed for personal preference.

3) K-Probe: PI/PIF scanning tool for lite-on DVD+/-RW drives

Hope that help a little bit.
