I have a samsung dvd burner, using nero 6 software, windows xp sp2, 512 mb
ram, athlon 2600 processor. It burns fine. I can take the dvd disk out and
play it on the home dvd player. Problem is with the burning process, it's
failing to verify the disk.
Could a anti-spyware program cause this problem? There seems to be some lag
in the burner reading the disk. When I put in a blank disk it takes a moment
(maybe 10 seconds or so) to read the disk. I'm wondering if that's what is
causing this problem I don't have this problem with cd's, just dvd's. Very
strange.

Don't you mean 'why would you want to read a blank disk'?
The OP probably doesn't, but the computer would have to for a number of
reasons.

The DVD player probably skips over the bad data. I'd burn at the
slowest possible speed to minimise error rates.
Another way to verify your disc is to use Windows' Explorer to copy
the files from your burnt disc to your hard drive.

Or try getting a CD/DVD cleaner.
The drive might need replacing too.

Don't see what that movie had to do with blank disks; but you *CAN*
completely wipe a floppy with a strong magnetic field; just like you can
magnetic tape. In fact, I have an eraser I made specifically for
floppies, somewhere around here. Built from an old AC fan-motor, with
the gap widened at the rear to strengthen it at the front.
The NSA, CIA, FBI, nor the KGB could recover data erased from such a
floppy. There ain't nothing there TO recover. Works only with
floppies, because it's almost impossible to get *that* strong a magnetic
field into a hard-drive with its design and basic shielding ... Though I
once designed a circuit that I think would do the job about a dozen
years ago. Never saw the need to implement it though. Would be a bit
dangerous ....

Would it make sense if he had said "The Subject Was DVDs"?
