How to verify a good burn?

I searched and found just one post on this in 2008 by John Cline, who said he's burned lots of dvds without customer problems.

Early on with Vegas and DvdArchitect I had problems very rarely. My current dvd player burner is a Lite-On and only a couple years old, but recently I getting pixeling in a few (3 out of 20) dvds.

Was using Memorex, then just tried Verbatim, with same results.

So my question is, how do you verify you've burned a good DVD?
It's a bit hard to play every dvd to check if you are doing a bunch of them. I usually always pop them in a dvd player hooked to a tv to test they play, while I'm burning and labeling the next one, but that doesn't catch those that have a problem later during the video.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Nero Discspeed is free and easily obtained, and will allow you to test your burner and media. That would be a good solution for discs you've already burned with DVD-A.

If you burn an ISO file created by DVD-A with a 3rd party solution, such as ImgBurn, (also freeware) you can instruct it to make a verify pass to ensure data integrity,

Thanks, sounds easy enough, I'll give them both a try and see what shows up.
