How Can I test DVDs or CDs?

I have many DVDs and CDs with minor scratches that I would
like to sell. I would not want to sell any items that are not usable,
nor do I have time to test every DVD and CD.

Is there an application that will test DVDs and CDs and notify me of read errors?

Thank you

There's one in the Nero 7 suite which I've used. It's probably in Nero 8 and Nero 9, but I'm not sure. The quality tester is called Nero CD DVD Speed, I think. You can read about the newest version at this site: http://www.cdspeed2000.com/ .

Ok, CD-DVD Speed is included in the Nero 9 suite, but I can't find where to download it on Nero's web site without the rest of the suite. Hope this is helpful. :)

Thank you for the information. I downloaded Nero's DiscSpeed 4 which is the replacement for CD-DVD Speed.

It seems to perform the testing I need.


Thank you again,


Vito

Oh, good. Glad I could help. I really like that program, though I think I have a much older version.
