DVD burns failing verify

    Almost every DVD-R I've tried to burn lately is failing the verify on one or two sectors.

    I have an Optiarc DVD RW AD-5170A drive.
    I've tried Verbatim 16x DVD-R's and Verbatim 16x DVD+R's.
    I've tried burning at 8x, 12x and 16x.
    I've tried both Nero and ImgBurn, and both of them fail the verify.

    ImgBurn lists the exact values which are different from the image on my hard drive. It always seems to be off by 10. For example if the image has 0x81, the value read back from the DVDR is 0x91. If it's 0x5E, it reads back as 0x6E. Any ideas what the problem could be here? Media, drive, software, write speed?

    Will having one or two wrong sectors on my DVDR's make them unreadable? Are DVD-Videos more resiliant to errors than data DVDs?

    have you tried a firmware update. failing that get a new dvd drive, corrupt dvd's aren't worth the hassle

    check event manager also and see what the error is

    Are they standard ISO images or are you burning from multiple files, or is it a non-standard image (.wii?)

    It's been happening with both images (IMG, ISO) and burning multiple files with Nero.

    I copied one of my burned files back from the DVD onto my HDD, and I made SFV checksums of that and the original. They were the same.

    Then I downloaded a thing called BCF (Binary Comparison of Files), and did what I assume is a bit-for-bit comparison, and it said they were identical.

    Confused now.
