I've made several DLTs for replication, from Encore, and never had them independently verified. My clients have never reported a single problem. I have a big order coming up -- should I get my DLT verified, or is that a waste of time and money? I will be getting check disks, and probably using Cinemagnetics, NY.
If I should get the DLT verified, where do you recommend I go?

Whether your titles is delivered on DLT or DVD-R or firewire, its still a DDP image that you'll need to test. Verifying a title can be expensive but it has saved me in the past - not only from delivering a bad disc but protecting me from a replicator which really doesn't care about who you or your clients are.
For all major studios releases its just a part of the QC process. I strongly urge my clients to get thier discs verified - some do, some don't.
Personally, if I would be releasing any retail disc, you'd BET I'd get the thing verified. It's such an under-rated part of the QC process in DVD.
