FMV framerate and quality?

Could you do a 'surface scan test' on the CDs to verify the data accuracy? Such as programs found with Nero like "CDspeed?"

It seems you could just burn 2 CDs; One at 4X and one at MaxX, for me that is 24X, and then run a "surface scan" to checks its integrity. OR, do 'surface scan' test "re-read" bad data, which I've learned is something the SegaCD drive skips during FMV.

A surface test wouldn't tell you anything really since a cd drive is designed to mask the quality of the pits and groves on a cd from you. As far as the pc would be concerned the data is either there ok or it's bad. You can't really measure the quality of the burn without using some very expensive tools. See the thing with these games that are burned at fast speeds that don't work on a SCD is that there really isn't any BAD data as such but the SCD isn't good enough to read the disc because the data that is written on it is just inaccurate enough for the SCD's drive to get confused and not be able to read the data. It needs some virtual glasses to be able to read the fuzzy data on the disc. Something obviously that doesn't exist.
