testing burns: what's the difference between...

[ulTRAX]

Reading http://forum.digital-digest.com/show...threadid=47762 the suggestion is to use Nero ScanDisk to test the quality of a burn. It suggests using the file test and the surface test. What does each do? When I ckick on the file test the results come back "unread". They only show up as green when I do the surface test. But don't I want to test files?

So what does the Nero tool do different than DVD InfoPro's Read Error test? I was once told it did CRC testing. What does Nero file/surface testing do?

Are these tests preferable to PIE/PIF testing?

Thanks!

Which is the same? The DVDInfoPro test and which of the two Nero tests?
