Nero sometimes changes things in the header files to fit to certain standards that the DVD authoring process may not have addressed. I would be willing to bet that if you burned it as a data disc with a VIDEO_TS folder on it rather as a DVD-Video that it would verify the md5s perfectly. It also, however, may have a bit less compatibility on standalone players, as some are more picky about playing out-of-standard discs than others.

Give it a try, see if it plays on your standalone, and report back.

Cool, burning it as a data disc worked! All files verified OK. Haven't tried it on a standalone yet, but I don't care. As long as md5 checks pass, I'm good.

Bravo RainDawg.
