Mac tool for measuring DVD burn quality (PI/PO errors)?

[cwerdna]

Is there a tool for the Mac that's similiar to one of these, but for the Mac?

I'm looking trying to do PI/PO quality tests on discs burned by my Pioneer DVR-220S standalone DVD recorder. I can run DVDInfo Pro on my PC w/BenQ DW1640 drive but since my Mac Mini has a DVD burner (Matsushita UJ-845C), I'd like to see how the same discs fare.

To give you an example, DVDInfo Pro output looks like this: http://www.cdrinfo.com/forum/tm.asp?m=70296&mpage=3&key=&#121883.

Nobody knows? Is there another good forum where someone might know the answer? Is the Matsushita UJ-845C even capable of returning PI/PO data?

Interesting programs

I had never heard of programs like these, until I read this page. It would be useful to have such a diagnostic tool in Toast. By the way, judging by the example picture you linked to, it seems like DVDs are reliable up to 3.5 GB.

Whoops, I just found a random sample screenshot. It wasn't meant to imply that DVDs are reliable/unreliable after a certain point on the disc.

Here's one from a Sony DVD-R made by Taiyo Yuden from my BenQ DW1640 drive burned by a Pioneer DVR-220S standalone recorder. This was a pretty good result. The second is from a Verbatim MCC (Mitsubishi Chemical Corp) disc which did a lot worst using the same equipment.

Have you had any luck finding such a program for Mac OS X?
