If nero changes the .ifo & .bup files maybee that is causing incompatalbility with my player. I wonder why those files are changed?

I think data is always best to trade because you just store it away. Alot of my shows would be ruined if I relied on playable disks that get abused/ given away. Could the dvd authors create md5's for the .vob files separatly from the .ifo and .bup files before trading. Then we could at least verify the .vob's considering they are not changed.

I dicided to split my dvd9 shows to dvd5 for archiving because the burns seem to be faster and more reliable. I don't like making coasters out of 2 dollar disks. I'm on a mission to archive a 300 gig drive and most of 2 80 gig drives. It's amazing how fast these things fill up.

While were at it are there good list making programs out there. My sloppy text file list can only go so far.

Thanks for the input.
