cdck

If you're looking for a straightforward and no-frills tool to check the quality of your CD/DVD discs, cdck might be what you need. It's not just about ensuring that all the files can be read – sometimes, certain sectors can have timing issues that could make them unreadable in the future.

This software tackles this issue by reading each sector on a disc and taking note of the timing in each case. After the entire check is complete, cdck will give you a verdict on the disc's overall quality.

One feature that stands out is the ability to generate a timing table that can be used with gnuplot to create graphs. This can be useful for more detailed analysis and tracking of disc quality over time.

The latest release introduces some improvements, such as making the info mode (which prints disc information and exits) the default behavior. Additionally, an alert has been added to warn users of potentially misleading error information at startup.

Overall, cdck is a handy tool for anyone who wants to make sure their CD/DVD discs are in good shape, especially if you value simplicity and efficiency.
