 Ah, I hadn't understood it that way.  I can see possibly being able
 to verify an ISO, but not a data DVD/CD after the fact in general.
 Many people (me included) will drag folders from several places
 onto the Nero "structure" to burn, so after the fact, nothing would
 know where to look for the various folder sources.  If you are
 just copying a tree of some sort, check out something like
 BeyondCompare (not free, but very good), but for when the
 chunks come from various locations, I don't know how you
 would do it.
 
 On the other hand, you may not need to verify the files as
 much as scan the disk for read errors.  CDSpeed, DVDInfoPro
 and others will do that for you.  If it shows no errors, you should
 be fine since a bad sector should give a CRC error.  Of course
 if the data being fed to the burner was bad, then the sector could
 read fine, but still have the wrong data although I expect that is
 not very common.
