Testing burned master CD

[nkay]

Hello,

Once you've burned a CD to be a master (or pre-master I suppose for the factory), is there a way to test it to see how many errors there are?

I have an older CD-writer, and I don't know how to do this. I have both Easy CD-creater 4, and CD Architect 5, but I think only the latter can make an official red book CD master.

You need BLER checking software and a drive capable of reading the BLER.

The Plextor PlexWriter Premium covers both.

Second that.

There are also dedicated systems for doing this, see:

Probably out of the price range that you want to pay, but you can ask the duplication plant to test the CD for you.

Most duplication plants will do that for free, if you place an order.

Most duplication plants will do that

But be sure to ask them first!
