I have a samsung dvd burner, using nero 6 software, windows xp sp2, 512 mb
ram, athlon 2600 processor. It burns fine. I can take the dvd disk out and
play it on the home dvd player. Problem is with the burning process, it's
failing to verify the disk.

Could a anti-spyware program cause this problem? There seems to be some lag
in the burner reading the disk. When I put in a blank disk it takes a moment
(maybe 10 seconds or so) to read the disk. I'm wondering if that's what is
causing this problem I don't have this problem with cd's, just dvd's. Very
strange.

Don't you mean 'why would you want to read a blank disk'?

The OP probably doesn't, but the computer would have to for a number of
reasons.

The DVD player probably skips over the bad data. I'd burn at the
slowest possible speed to minimise error rates.

Another way to verify your disc is to use Windows' Explorer to copy
the files from your burnt disc to your hard drive.

Or try getting a CD/DVD cleaner.
The drive might need replacing too.

Some unformatted floppies are.
Same thing with unwritten CD-ROM disks.

Several years ago there was a good movie called, "The Subject Was Roses."
You should see it.

Don't see what that movie had to do with blank disks; but you *CAN*
completely wipe a floppy with a strong magnetic field; just like you can
magnetic tape. In fact, I have an eraser I made specifically for
floppies, somewhere around here. Built from an old AC fan-motor, with
the gap widened at the rear to strengthen it at the front.

The NSA, CIA, FBI, nor the KGB could recover data erased from such a
floppy. There ain't nothing there TO recover. Works only with
floppies, because it's almost impossible to get *that* strong a magnetic
field into a hard-drive with its design and basic shielding ... Though I
once designed a circuit that I think would do the job about a dozen
years ago. Never saw the need to implement it though. Would be a bit
dangerous ....

Basically, huge capacitors and a big coil.

No not a blank disk. Apparently I have failed to explain it where you would
be able to comprehend what I said. I'll try again.

1: I burn a disk.
2. The burn is successful.
3. The verification process fails.
4. I take the disk and play it in a dvd player and it plays fine.

are you with me so far???

My question is on the disk failing to verify. If I can play the disk on the
home dvd player, then it should verify ok. But it doesn't.

Oh, and by the way, please don't come back with something inane like check
your firmware, or update ide drivers, because I've already check that. duh.

Nope.
Clean the LED on your drive, using any of the various cleaning tools out
there. If that doesn't work, then replace the drive.

Possibly; but blank DVDs like blank CDs *are* blank.

I buy a hundred or so DVDs a month. None I've bought so far have been
completely blank, they all have had format information so the OS and Apps
can recognize what they are. Where do you get your "blank" DVDs? ...and how
do you get them to work.

Your PC won't ignore errors, your DVD Player will.

Bad idea. Cleaning the LED on a DVD usually ends its life. The old "CD
Cleaning" discs are for CDs, not DVDs.

Look again.
They ARE blank.
No format information on them or even needed.
They write their own when you write the disk.
If you look closely at the active side of a CD or DVD, you can even SEE
the areas that are written, and those that are not.

Look at them under a microscope, if you want to see the exact details.

Unwritten CDs and DVDs are blank; I repeat: BLANK!
They'd be pretty much useless if they weren't.

I'm not quite sure how rewritable CDs and DVDs work when writing over a
given track.

They work for both. LOOK at their specifications.
Besides, it's either clean the crap off the Laser or throw the drive
away. Your choice.

Download this freebie, read a "blank" (according to you) DVD and then
explain the data you just read from it.

After that, you may **** off.
