like to check for errors. Is there any program for Linux that does
this?
I found and tried dvdisaster, but it only works for CDs, not
DVDs. Everything else seems to be Windows-only.
I have not installed dvdisaster, but I'd be really surprised if it
won't check dvd's. The ebuild description is "Tool for creating error
correction data (ecc) for optical media (DVD, CD, BD)" so if it really
balks at a dvd, I'd file a bug.
Also - what is your criteria for finding an error? Could you just read
the entire disk or copy to /dev/null and just look for any read
errors? (I'm not sure if I'd try cp or dd or some variant on dd.)
