GUI cd burning programs have a checkbox to verify what you have written to disk to make sure it got written correctly (to make sure you don't just have made a coaster).this is what I mean by verify. for whatever reason, be it due to a program bug that the data could be written to the disk correctly, reading the data back from the disc after writing (possible need for ejection and pulling back in?) may be something the user wants. at times I have needed this, because I have not always gotten correct results. although there is no switch for this. the GUI program I have been using provides it somehow. I was requesting such verification via a commandline switch in cdrecord. reason: I can't be handing coasters to my client(s). ------------- Jim Michaels Jmi...@ya...

If cdrecord does not print an error message, the drive believes that everything is OK. On the other side: cdrecord does not understand the data that is written. Jörg -- EMail:jo...@sc...
