I have burned literally hundreds of DVDs and CDs. I have worn out at one
burner. Presently using Fedora 10 and have done burning on previous Fedora and
Redhat releases.
Using an old, reliable linux Nero burning software errors on verification
started appearing. I tried different blanks (not more from the same spindle)
and still errors. I got a new burner and still mostly errors but a few times
none. Maybe Nero got corrupted so I switch to k3b. Still errors. Use different
blanks with k3b and still errors. In a bid to try all combinations of
everything I try a different iso and still errors.
So I do an md5sum on the mounted iso and on a mounted burned DVD which had
reported numerous errors over seven files. The md5sums are the same. No
errors. The DVD copies back to HD flawlessly.
I trust an md5sum more than any burning app reporting errors. K3b does an
sha1sum as verification which is as good as. I have not viewed the files on
the burned DVD to see if it is good enough yet as it will take over 12 hours.
Any ideas what might be happening?
