Re: MD5 Check Fails After Burn

What i found out was that in the new compilation box you have to make sure "Joliet" is checked on the ISO page, and "Also use ISO9660 text for Joliet" is checked on the LABEL page.

After making these two changes, i never had a problem again. It even went back on a multisession disc and "fixed" torrents i had previously burned.
It sounds to me like Nero was burning the data files with truncated file names. Since the file names were no longer the same as the ones in the md5 file, the md5 verification failed. By making sure Joliet was turned on you allowed Nero to burn long file names as found in the md5 files. When the md5 checks failed were you getting 'file missing' errors, as opposed to 'checksum failed' errors?
