Question: I burn Dvd's with IMGBurn and when its done burning it cycles the tray and then verifies the disc. Is this the same thing or something different, if this is different then what is it actually verifying?
Same question here, if I'm verifying data after burning and its 100% ok isn't it enough?
These are two different things. How they are different, I'm not sure exactly, but I have had DVD verify OK (in Toast in my case, since that is what I use to burn) and then had checksums/fingerprints fail on the disc. I don't know that I have ever had checksums/fingerprints all verify on the disc but the disc verification fail though. Of course, if a disc fails to verify, then I usually just throw it right out and don't both to try the checksums/fingerprints.
