There are very few computer users who haven’t ever come across a CD or DVD that just won’t work right, whether it’s music, a movie or a game. But sometimes when you burn a disc, there’s an issue with how the data is burned and the disc simply can’t handle it. Another reason a disc may not work is because of a buildup of scratches or fingerprints.
If you’re worried about the readability of a burnt DVD, CD or Blu Ray Disc, there are a variety of different scanning software you can buy or download for free to make sure your burnt media are error free.
Personally, we prefer VSO Inspector, a free downloadable program that will scan the burnt media for any errors and tests the files within the disc before it goes on to duplication or replication.

But there are different scanning programs available, depending on what your needs are.
If you’re using Windows, CDCheck is top-reviewed program for checking the contents of DVDs and CDs while also coming with a recovery tool for files on these discs that Windows can’t actually read.
CDReader 3.0 is an oldie, but it also has many faithful users. It’s a reader that will scan your drives while also scanning your CDs or DVDs, as well as any hard drives or media that’s been plugged into your computer for any errors.
