Storing DVD-Videos.
The video on a DVD is stored as data files.
I create a checksum of all the files and place the md5-file (and the info file) in the root directory of the dvd. That way I´m able to check the files after burning.
If the initial seeder included the fingerprints a lineage as:
VID(1)>STANDALONE>DVD-R(5) would be as redundant as
aud(1)>nakamichi dragon>sbpro>wav>shn(5) is.
Lineage could be:
VID(1)>STANDALONE>DVD-R (md5s from initial seed)

md5sum is a tool to create checksums of data files.
How I archive:
I use dvds and already have masses of (data) cds placed in spindles and archive the content in
myFindex (german).
Once in a while I listen to the archived ones on my computer.
The cds in the spindles are really a pain in the ass for me.
How I´d like to archive.
The cd-rw <-> dvd solution sounds good to me but I´m really lazy.
It would be cool if a standalone and portable cd/dvd player could play flac files (but I havent found firmware updates supporting flac, etc. yet -
has anyone out there??), as I hate detours - I´m very lazy, or too busy. Also I have problems to accept the lazyness or whatever it is, that people are not willing to include the few kilobytes of flac codec in their firmware. So if you want to call me a lazy frustrated bastard you could be right

.
A rio karma would be great

but is too expensive at this time.
I just want to drop the archived cd/dvd into my player with no "disk error" showing up and listen to the music.
