md5sum a dvd?

[eric]

I prefer a quality drive :-P  

Seriously tho, my Plextor and Pioneer drives have never produced a coaster
when using decent media, and having the computer only doing the burn (no
multi-tasking), running at full speed (48x and 52x, respectively).  On the
other hand, my Hi-Val drive has a success rate somewhere around 80-90
percent.

Reminder (yet again?) for people burning CDs: just because you have a
48x drive doesn't mean you should burn as fast as possible. I burn slow
and it saves a lot of aggravation. I used to burn fast, but I burned
bad CDs, or had it work on one box and not on another, etc.
