Default Utility needed to Verify ISO image with burned disc

Dear Gurus,

I understand that there are some CD-burning softwares which have built-
in verifying routines to verify the burned disc with the ISO image
file.

However, I am looking for a stand-alone utility that can do the same
thing.

Which is, taking an ISO-image file on the hard disk, and verify it
with a CD (or DVD) that is inside a CD/DVD drive.

Is there such a utility available?

All suggestions are most welcome !

Thank you for reading.

I'm not into installing software that can be done with resident commands
within the OS. There's been a DOS command around for a very long time
called File Compare. If you want to learn about it, I'm sure there are
multitudes of web pages "out there", to visit. If you go to a DOS
prompt, you can type "FC /?", without the quotation marks, and it'll
give you a list of commands and switches, i.e..., /A
You can navigate to where the .iso image is and
type "fc /b ????.iso X:\????.iso" where X = disc drive with iso image on
it. I'm sure there are programs out there that will do it graphically,
but again, I don't like alot of superfluous software on my computer.
Perhaps a portable version might be available. Good luck.

I thank you for the reply.

I do know about the "FC" command and do use it frequently.

However, FC is only used for comparing FILE to FILE.

What I am looking for is a utility that can compare an ISO image file
(xyz.ISO) to a burned CD/DVD based on the same ISO image file.

Irrelevant.

(xyz.ISO) to a burned CD/DVD based on the same ISO image file.


"A burned CD/DVD" *is* a file. At least on reasonable OSes. E.g.,
did you try \\.\M: ? If Windows does not support this, one can just
make an ISO image from the disk, and use FC (or diff).

Hope this helps,
Ilya

P.S. In my experience, byte-per-byte comparison is not relevant. At
least, I never saw a disk which could be read byte-per-byte, but
the result would differ from what it is supposed to be. Disks
with some unreadable sectors - a plenty (a hundred?); but if
fully readable, then correct.

Sonic Record Now and some other programs that I have used include some
identifying information in the .ISO file. Perhaps another format
would give the same result every time I made an image, but can't
switch from .ISO. In particular, making an ISO file from the same
real or virtual CD gives different results each time, so a simple
compare doesn't do the job. (The differences may be as little as
the equivalent of:
"This ISO image was made at ...."
but the file compare programs that I use stop on the first
difference for binary files. If there is only a single difference
in the ISO files I could look around for other compare programs.

Hope this helps,
Ilya

I have no clue what you are talking about.

In particular, making an ISO file from the same
real or virtual CD gives different results each time


Then the probrams you use are broken. ISO image is just a copy of the
DVD (or of "the 2048-sectors" of CD). All copies should be the same.
(And I expect that \\.M: would be always the same as well...)

Hope this helps,
Ilya

If the source is an ISO image (or other image formats), you could use
ImgBurn to burn+verify.

If the source is a set of folders+files, I am using TreeComp.

What does "verify" mean to you?

Do you think the ISO or the CD are somehow going to change over time
or do you want to just verify after burning the ISO to the CD that
they really are the same things?

What ISO burning software are you using now and have you no confidence
in it?

ImgBurn if free and easy:

http://www.imgburn.com/

It will burn your ISO, verify it when it is done and then you can use
it again minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, later just to verify the
ISO and CD still match using the built in Verify function.

If you suspect that and feel a need to verify some ISO and a burned
CD, you may have some other problem. You might want to look at some
other burning software that has all this stuff built in.
