![]() ![]() Here’s a selection of 5 different tools that can help you check the readability of your media. Just like your hard drive in your computer needs to be checked from time to time for errors, it’s useful to be able to scan a CD or DVD to verify the disc is in good condition and all of the data contained on it is completely readable. It’s also common for things like fingerprints or scratches to stop disc contents being read properly, maybe even the ROM drive you’re using is the problem and you don’t know. You can also get similar problems if you are burning discs yourself and the media is of poor quality or the data is being burned too quickly for the media to handle. Although many users still think CD and DVD discs are pretty much indestructible and last forever, they do in fact degrade over time and have a limited lifespan. When trying to play a game or read data from the disc you might get a simple error in Windows that the disc cannot be read. If it’s a movie or music, it will probably skip and jump around or get completely stuck during playback. It’s probably a safe bet that most people who use a computer have come across a CD or DVD that refuses to work properly.
