DVD equivalent of CD Speed quality check?

After I burn a CDR, I use the CD quality check option in Nero CD Speed to
see if there are any C2 errors (my drive doesn't seem to report C1 errors).
I usually reburn if there are any C2 errors. Having just purchased a DVD
burner, I wonder if there is an equivalent test I could be doing, and if
so, what software does it? Nero DVD Speed doesn't seem to do any sort of
quality test. I found DVDInfoPro, but it seems to only check for
readability, not for read errors that are fixed by error correction.

If you have a LiteOn drive, you can use Kprobe, otherwise you are out of
luck and DVDInfo is your best shot.

Thanks for the pointer. It looks like it might do what I want, but it
refuses to start on my Win/2K system. I'll try to send in a bug report.

I downloaded the demo and found the exact same thing. I'd double-click the
icon, would get the hour-glass for maybe five seconds, it it would aboard.
No sign of the program! I'm running XP so it's really bizarre that we'd have
the same problem...

You might need to have ASPI installed

I believe the only way to obtain error rate data (Parity Inner/Parity Outer
values) on a DVD is with drive vendor-specific commands. For example, the
Kprobe utility can do it, but only on Lite-On DVD-ROM/RW drives.
