It's probably a safe bet that most people who use a computer have come across a CD or DVD that refuses to work properly. If it's a movie or music, it will probably skip and jump around or get completely stuck during playback. When trying to play a game or read data from the disc you might get a simple error in Windows that the disc cannot be read. Although many users still think CD and DVD discs are pretty much indestructible and last forever, they do in fact degrade over time and have a limited lifespan.

Hey, sorry to bother people with this question, but i cant seem to find it anywhere online, no matter how much i scour the internet.:( Im looking for the Region 1 Version (in other words, the copy printed in america, not japan.) any help would be greatly appreciated! Im also willing to trade covers, if anyone is interested - i have a small collection of dvd cover art i can trade in exchange. Berserk (Japanese: ベルセルク, Hepburn: Beruseruku) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kentaro Miura.Set in a medieval Europe-inspired dark fantasy world, the story centers on the characters of Guts, a lone mercenary, and Griffith, the leader of a mercenary band called the 'Band of the Hawk'.Miura premiered a prototype of Berserk in 1988. The 'youth pure love' story begins when three students in their third and final year of high school meet during a time when they are worried about paths for their futures. Waiting for them are sweet, painful, and heartrending days. Officially published: In english by VIZ Media and on MANGA plus In french by Kurokawa In german by Carlsen In italian by Panini Comics. Free DVD covers which even a kid can create on its own, using your own pictures and photos and modifying DVD cover template layouts is the cost effective and fast way. It is the cheapest way to make protective cases for your disk set and to systematize your selection of disks, no matter there are CDs, DVDs, Blu Ray disks.

You can also get similar problems if you are burning discs yourself and the media is of poor quality or the data is being burned too quickly for the media to handle. It's also common for things like fingerprints or scratches to stop disc contents being read properly, maybe even the ROM drive you're using is the problem and you don't know. Just like your hard drive in your computer needs to be checked from time to time for errors, it's useful to be able to scan a CD or DVD to verify the disc is in good condition and all of the data contained on it is completely readable. Here's a selection of 5 different tools that can help you check the readability of your media. All tools were tested on Windows 7 64-bit and will also work on XP/Vista/8.

VSO Inspector is a free utility from the makers of Blindwrite to report information about your computer's hardware configuration where reading and writing CD's and DVD's are concerned. The Device Features tab will give various bits of information about the reading and writing capabilities of your burner along with region code and firmware details, while the Media tab will show information about any inserted media. The sector viewer allows disc sectors to be viewed and saved, the System tab displays any installed filter drivers.

For the purpose of this article, the Scan tab is the most important because it allows you to run a complete scan of an inserted disc and flag any issues with its content. It does so using two different selectable methods; Surface Scan will check the quality of the media surface itself while ignoring the files, File Test checks the files themselves so you can see which ones are a problem if the disc isn't perfect. An interesting option in Advanced is scan direction, VSO state that to get a quick idea of quality it's better to check the outer edges of the burn zone first as that's usually the weakest area.

2. CDReader 3.0

CDReader is quite an old tool but it's quick and simple to use if you just want to verify the contents of your media can be read off the disc. It does this by using the method of simply reading all the files on the CD/DVD like through Explorer as if you were trying to copy them onto your hard drive. Individual files or folders can also be selected in case you're not worried about checking the complete disc and want to make sure just the important files on it are readable. Hard drive contents can also be scanned if you feel there is a specific need to do so. Select the drive from the My Computer list and optionally files or folders from the right pane and press the READ! button.

3. Emsa DiskCheck

Although this program is completely free to use, it does have a rather odd registration system because you have to click the red 'Activate product here' link on the Emsa web page to be given a key to activate DiskCheck. It's not a major issue, just an odd setup. DiskCheck can check the integrity of the data on floppies, hard drives and also CD/DVD-ROM discs, they're chosen from the disk type and drive letter drop down menus in the top left. The 'flush cache on start' option is useful to keep checked as it stops any files cached by the system being mistakenly scanned instead of the files on the disc. There's plenty of scan stats and any resulting file errors will show in the main window.

Dvdisaster is actually an application to provide built in recoverable data on your optical media to help repair your files in the event of read errors. It does this using error correction codes similar in some ways to a recovery record built into RAR archives etc. Another function of the program is the option to scan a CD or DVD for sector errors which will test the readability of the disc. Simply run the program, make sure the drive is selected from the drop down menu and then press Scan. Obviously you are looking for all green sectors in the medium state graphic and a smooth speed line without any severe drops to the bottom of the graph. One drawback is you can't see the exact files that are affected, just the sectors of the disc.

5. Nero DiskSpeed

Anime Dvd Cover Scans Without

Most users will have heard of Nero's burning application and DiskSpeed is a free utility that comes with the Nero suite and is available also as a standalone program. Sadly more recent versions have followed the bloated nature of the Nero Burning ROM software itself and the setup installer of DiskSpeed is now an eye watering 30MB! Thankfully an older portable version from Nero v9 still works fine and does the same job, it's less than 4MB though.

DiskSpeed looks like the hard drive diagnostic tool HD Tune in many ways and has separate tabs to run a benchmark test of the media and drive, test burning reliability, get information about the media, test it's quality (ROM drive permitting) and also a complete surface scan of the inserted disc. This last test will tell you which areas of the CD/DVD are good, damaged or bad with a color coded graph and the affected files listed in red at the bottom with a quality score. Note this test can take a while if several errors are found on the disc.

Anime Dvd Cover Scans Online

Hi. What I'm looking for is a utility which checks original movie DVD for defects. Sometimes I put on a new DVD and it stops playing in the middle of the movie. Now, I would like a utility to check that the DVD is ok. I just tried VSO Inspector and it says that the DVD is fine, although this latter has reading problems with 2 different DVD players. So there's clearly a problem with the DVD, which apparently VSO can overcome and doesn't report.
I also tried Dvdisaster, which says it doesn't work with DVD-Roms.
Now, is there an utility out there for my purpose?
Thanks

Thank you Ray!

I needed one of these =]

great effort…

the good thing about VSO Inspector also is that you can load a video file in it and it will tell you if you have the right codecs too play it. if for some reason you don't it will take you too google and locate the codec for you.
it has many uses apart from what ray has posted and is worth the download in my view.

yeah,Nero CD-DVD Speed does also test disc scans and quality test! Came as default with my burner!!

great utility.

very useful information.
thanks ray! :)

Hey Raymond,

I use Nero's CD-DVD Speed. The software came with my Nero 6 load. One tab in Nero CD-DVD Speed is ScanDisc. This performs a surface scan of the media.

Thanks for your tip. Banda yeh bindaas hai aks.

Thanks Ray nice tool :-)

Nice one you got there mate, thanks and +1 for
Ninja Ricer!

thanks for this ray
a lot my CD are getting stuck.

Thanks Ray … this article is very useful as usual. I will definitely try it.

VSO Inspector is nice… I also recommend to take a look at CDCheck, small utility by Mitja Perko for check/compare disks.
Actually it is more universal, it checks/compares the drivers/files/directories/mapped drives.
All kinds of checksums supported (create/compare)

excellent tool, thumbs up!
the utility is unlimited shareware (or registerware, i don't know). Mine says 'Unregistered, 30 day evaluation period', and its been like that for several years.

if somebody knows something similar (but freeware), please mention it here in discussion, a tip for useful free tool is always handy/welcomed…

How to Scan the Paper Cover (a.k.a. inlay or 'slick') of a DVD

I made a tutorial for my father on how to scan dvd covers. I decided that my tumblr needs a bit more beefing up so I'm adding it here. This is the process I came up with and not really the 'absolute' way to do it. It's just the method I use.

After you've decided which dvd you want to scan you need to get the cover paper (or 'slick') out from the plastic dvd case… WITHOUT HURTING IT. I'm the type who hates creases or folds so I'm always extra careful when removing the dvd's paper (we'll use layman's terms and call it 'paper' or 'cover' for ease of understanding).

▶ STEP 1: Gently bend the dvd case backwards until both flaps are about -45º or more from the case's flat open position.

▶ STEP 2:Carefully get the paper cover out from either side of the edges for the plastic and the case. You don't want it trapped in the corners. Then it gets stuck and you risk damaging it.

▶ STEP 3: After you've gotten it started gently slide the paper cover out from the case.

▶ STEP 4: Ta-da!! Now you've got the paper separate from the case. You're ready to break out the scanner!

Things you'll need for the next steps: a scanner and 2 pieces of paper. 2 pieces of paper because a dvd cover is just about 8.5' x 11' and you want to make a contrasting background the extends past the edges of the cover to define its edges.
You also want your paper to be the opposite color of what you're scanning. If you're scanning a white/lighter cover (like in the following examples) you'll want black paper. If your cover is darker then a white background in needed (I think most scanners have white lids so that's not a big issue).

▶ STEP 5: Place your cover paper on the center of the scanner. Make sure it's in the active scanning area so it doesn't get chopped off when scanned.

***Note: It's best to center your paper/image then straighten and crop it in an graphics editor later. Make sure to have leave a decent width border around the paper/image when you're placing the paper/image on the scan bed/glass. DO NOT line it up along the edges. Some scanners do not scan along the edges of the scan bed/glass. Sort of like borderless printing vs. printing with a border.

▶ STEP 6: Place the paper (if needed) on top of the cover. In the image below you see that it doesn't lay flat. That's fine since that's taken care of in the next step. That curve/fold is the result of the weight/thickness of the cover paper being bent to the dvd case's shape.

▶ STEP 7: In this step we take care of the dvd cover rising up from the scanner's glass without harming the paper.

This was an old tutorial and I've improved this step so this is the only recent picture.

In this case I used two old catalogs stacked on top of each other, but anything large enough to flatten the whole dvd cover. Place the catalogs or magazines over the dvd cover the take the dvd case and place that along the middle of where the cover paper is or where the spine of the dvd case was on the paper. If you don't do this step to flatten out that middle section the cover paper will be curved when scanned (see image below the below image). This step doesn't harm the paper and you'll get a nice flat scan.

Below is an example of scanning without applying the case to flatten the cover and after applying the case to flatten the cover.

▶ STEP 8: Close the scanner's lid and apply some weight to the top when scanning. Not too much. You don't want to break your scanner. Gently pushing down or placing a heavy book on top works just fine.

Don't ask me what that is. Just spare me and don't ask…

▶ STEP 9: Reverse what you did in Steps 1-3. Be careful not to get the corners of the cover paper stuck in those edges. Once you get is in just adjust the position to align with the folds in the plastic and you're done. ^^
