you want to create an md5 for the files in the VIDEO_TS folder only [they're should be .ifo, .bup, and .vob files]:

--select all files in VIDEO_TS folder and drag to the checksums window in xACT
--click checksum button, then select "traditional" in popup window, and save to wherever you wanna save the file to

once its done creating the checksum, its on to setting up the folder structure and editing the checksum to run from the EXTRAS_TS folder:


--inside your show's parent folder, there should be 3 folders [or create if there's not] -- the VIDEO_TS folder [with all its files], and AUDIO_TS folder [empty], and an EXTRAS_TS folder
--put your info text file and the checksum you just created in the EXTRAS_TS folder


NOTE: the checksum, as it was created, will only run properly if its in the VIDEO_TS folder with the files...to remedy this so that you can run md5 from the EXTRAS_TS folder:

--open the md5 in TextEdit, it should look something like this:

315316fc1c221f4a964f3cbb9b044b3b *VIDEO_TS.BUP
315316fc1c221f4a964f3cbb9b044b3b *VIDEO_TS.IFO
5f7973ff9e4152827994d4149c8af39d *VIDEO_TS.VOB
26ab9ca21c9e2bcad18030695e623880 *VTS_01_0.BUP
26ab9ca21c9e2bcad18030695e623880 *VTS_01_0.IFO
ccb41300857288d964fe8d321ea8d111 *VTS_01_0.VOB
4938d25749b8f4330593be2426d28870 *VTS_01_1.VOB
9cc8242d2a89fcb48cb63b653419c4b7 *VTS_01_2.VOB

--edit each line by adding a "../VIDEO_TS/" [not including the quotation marks] between the asterisk and the file name...DO NOT change anything else! it should end up lookin like this:

315316fc1c221f4a964f3cbb9b044b3b *../VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP
315316fc1c221f4a964f3cbb9b044b3b *../VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO
5f7973ff9e4152827994d4149c8af39d *../VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB
26ab9ca21c9e2bcad18030695e623880 *../VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.BUP
26ab9ca21c9e2bcad18030695e623880 *../VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.IFO
ccb41300857288d964fe8d321ea8d111 *../VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB
4938d25749b8f4330593be2426d28870 *../VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB
9cc8242d2a89fcb48cb63b653419c4b7 *../VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_2.VOB

--save the file and close
--now double check you edited the checksum lines properly by running the md5 from inside the EXTRAS_TS folder, if everything checks OK then yer done
