Windows – How to check quality of CD/DVD before burning

burningcompact-discdvddvd-burningwindows 7

I recently bought a couple of DVDs to burn but majority of them turned as faulty DVDs. I came to know when the DVDs were not able to burn the data into them. Hence Is there a way by which I can check (before actually burning the disc) that whether the blank CD/DVD is not faulty and would burn without any major issue?

I used Windows 7 OS and Nero Express/Burning ROM and/or Img Burn to burn the data into DVDs

You need a 3rd party tool for that as you'll need full control over the burning device. I'd recommend qpxTool as it's free (sourceforge prj)
Adding this for a better understand...

What can I do with QPxTool?

With QPxTool you can measure the quality of CDs and DVDs, if your hardware supports these features (supported drives). Further you can take full advantage of the special Plextor writing features (like GigaRec, VariRec, PowerRec, AutoStrategy).

It is the Open Source Solution which intends to give you access to all available Quality Checks (Q-Checks) on written and blank media, that are available for your drive.
