archiving to dvd - data verification

[sls.stormyrider]

I was saving a couple shows to dvd using nero. After the shows were transfered it said "data verification failed"
I was able to open the files on the disc directly.
Using TLH, I tested the files, all were decodable w/o error. The check sums all match.

when I went back into nero, the program couldn't recognize that there were files on the disc.

I'm not gonna put anything else on this disc - anyone have any other thoughts about what happened?

thanks

i've been archiving on nero for a couple of years and always uncheck that "Verify data on disc after burning"

it just slows the process down and TLH is my data verification (using a second drive)

i also uncheck the multisession disc thing too which might be why it didn't recognize your files.

it ignored the existing files but instead just gave you a smaller size to your disc data space available

thats all i've got, if thats not it hopefully someone else can shed some light

Yep.
I just burn data discs with Nero but verify with Frontend.
If that verifies, you are good.

I've burned with Nero for a few years and I always check with MKW/TLH, etc...  The only time I've ever gotten a MD5 failure was when there was a problem with the files itself...

I use the Data Verify on Nero, and it is slow.  But it worth it I suspect...  And in the few years I've used it, Data Verify has only failed a couple of times.  I always reburn those discs...

I always use the verify disc feature because it catches not only defective filesets but also defective discs/burn errors.  Nothing worse than filing away a disc only to find out much later down the line that there were transfer problems that corrupted the disc.  Verifying at that point doesn't do you much good if the information wasn't passed on to the disc.  I have had nero turn back a successful burn session on data that didn't get transferred all the way to disc.  It slows down the burn process, but I've learned the hard way to use it.
