And some other info related to md5 hash under linux : http://www.g-loaded.eu/2006/10/07/verify-a-burned-cddvd-image-on-linux/

Not 100% guaranteed , but could keep bad disc's down to a minimum .

well i thought about something different like kprobe for liteon drives or nerolinux cdspeed to check pi/po sektors and to scan quality of burned dvds but i am not sure if anything like this for linux does exist.....
so that program is not actually what i wanted....
any other ideas?

Theres been a few reports of users trying to run nero speed tools using wine under linux .

From some reports , nero should not be far away with better support for linux .

there is no tool of its own to check PI/P0 scans under linux?
i am supprised....i thought every windows application has similar brother under linux...
so there is no reason to go with linux if those simple tools are missing for linux

If an application for PI/P0 scans has any bearing on your OS decision, I think you'd better get your priorities straight!
