Re: [OCLUG-Tech] dvd burner to buy


> When buying media, I always buy brand name, and I check the speed that they are rated for. And after burning something important, I always make sure that all the files on the burnt cd or DVD can be read (by copying the dvd to a temporary folder, as a test).

I think a better test is a diff.

Mount the ISO image you burnt from. The method to do this varies from OS to OS.

Mount the CD you just burnt.

diff them.  There should be no differences.
