Errr... Sorry for asking. Do you have access to the drive mentioned here - http://www.techenclave.com/storage-solutions/sony-dru-720a-capable-quality-scanning-107074.html ? If so, go ahead and use it. Scan at 4x using CDSpeed.

It can scan alright :) Just make sure you scan at 4x though and post it in the DVD Scans thread as soon as possible.

Another option is doing a TRT (Transfer Rate Test) on your LG.

If the graph is smooth throughout - no sudden drops - you have a reliable disc.
