Verification, Playback and printing
VSO Inspector was used to check the recorded DV for any bad sectors that might be present. As the screenshot below shows, no bad sectors where found during the scan:
A second test was carried out to verify the DVD-R file structure. Both DVDinfoPro and CDChecks "Compare" utilities compared the files on the DVD+R to the original source files on the Hard Disk.
To check for any errors on the recorded DVD, both the DVDInfoPro "CD\DVD error test" utility and CDChecks Media error check function were used to Verify the recorded Media. The tests show that no read errors were reported.

DVDInfoPro reported no errors with its check utility:

CDCheck reported no errors with its check utility:

DVDInfoPro reported no errors with its compare utility:

CDCheck reported no errors with its compare utility:

As shown in the images above you can see the files on the DVD-R are identical to to the source files on the Hard Disk.
To check the playback, the DVD-R , the same playing tests has used on our Verbatim Movie Reel review where carried out.
Both the software and standalone DVD Players played the DVD without any effort at all and no gliches or video distortion was seen.
To see how well the disc could be printed to, the Epson R300 photo printer was used to print directly onto the disc. The screenshot above shows how well the print came out, with no blotches or smears on the disc. Very effective huh?
