    I've got a DVDRW with a few bad sectors, probably due to a scratch. (I tried the old trick of rubbing with toothpaste to smooth it down, but it didn't help.)

    Back in the olden days I could mark bad sectors on a floppy with a Norton Utility, so is there a way to mark these so when burning it these sectors will be skipped? This would have to be a method that survived (quick) reformatting.

    I use this mostly to test what something looks like on my player/TV before burning DVD videos to a DVDR, long term integrity is not an issue.

    Yes, I am cheap.

    It might just be easier to throw the disc away, being that prices are so low for media nowadays.
