For the past 2 years I've been doing Nero PIE/PIF tests on all my burns. I seem to recall someone saying that if a PIF exceeds 4 then it's unlikely that a good copy can be made from that disk.
Yet Nero has another test to see if files can be read called Scan Disk. I assume it's similar to the file integrity test Nero does when it tests archived files.
If the files can all be read... isn't that good enough quality? If not why is video different from other files?
The reason I'm rechecking what I know is because I just bought a DVD recorder and I'm embarking on a massive project to convert 20 years worth of VHS, 8mm, Hi8, and DV tapes to DVD. The thought having to test each burn is frightening.
Thanks
