Re: Does nero change data?

from what i understand, Nero and some other burning programs alter either the .ifo or .bup files when burning as a DVD-Video disc...therefore, the checksum will not verify properly, even tho the actual video content has not been altered...

personally, i'll archive a dvd show as a data disc [DVD-ROM (ISO/UDF)--with checksum, info, art, etc]...this is what i trade with...then i just burn a DVD-Video copy for viewing on the standalone...

i wish everyone traded as data discs, due to the "failed checksums" issue... but it seems alot of folks don't see it that way, and don't want to have to burn two discs...
