Now...at the risk of sounding DUMB...what do I compare? The letters and numbers on each line? If there are errors on the disc, would the md5s file say"such and such error occurred"?

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. |
I've never run a chucksum on a disc before, but a few times on TS folders of shows I seeded here, and the process took a couple of minutes at most.
I'm doing one of the discs now and it took 20 mns to verify just one VOB file, but it showed no errors.
