No question is a dumb question!

You can open the checksums in any text editor and then compare the "letters and numbers" (the checksum). They should be exactly the same if the video was copied correctly. The only exception is the checksum for the menus - VIDEO_TS.bup, VIDEO_TS.ifo, VIDEO_TS.vob. Sometimes the software will 'correct' the menu and so the checksums won't match. But, all the VTS_0x_x files should have *exactly* the same checksum if the video was copied correctly.
