While diagnosing a fault with a DVD writer – I needed a utility that would confirm that the drive was operating correctly while writing an iso file (an image file containing in the case the contents of a DVD)
ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that can help you out in a range of areas.
It has several ‘Modes’, each one for performing a different task:
Read – Read a disc to an image file
Build – Create an image file from files on your computer or network – or you can write the files directly to a disc
Write – Write an image file to a disc
Verify – Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you can also have ImgBurn compare it against a given image file to ensure the actual data is correct
Discovery – Put your drive / media to the test! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you can check the quality of the burns your drive is producing
You can pick up the tool free from www.imgburn.com
Another one for your toolkit….
