Hi,
i'm trying to burn a DVD i downloaded in a torrent. I've structured the DVD in the following way:
That's the file structure of the DVD i want to burn. I followed the guide in this forum to the very last step. The DVD burns without problems. When i put the DVD in my drive and do a checksum verification with the md5 file shown above using Traders' Little Helper, i get the following message:
I want to make clear that if i let the verification process reach its end, all files except for the first two shown above match perfectly. When i do the same with the files in my hard drive, i get the following message:
Again, all the files not shown above match perfectly if the process is carried to its end. Trying to find an explanation for this, i found that if i disabled "32KB IFO padding" in the build options menu, all files from the burned DVD match perfectly, just as the ones in my hard drive.
So, my questions are these: why does this happen? what is "32KB IFO padding" exactly and why do checksums match in my DVD when i disable it? I'm sorry if these questions are a bit trivial but i'm a DVD newbie.
I'd like to point out also that, when "32KB IFO padding" is disabled, ImgBurn failed burning my disk once and, when it burned my disk correctly, the burnt "tracks" looked strange, not homogeneous as i expected but with different "intensities". I don't know if the term i use is correct but i can't find any other way to describe it right now.
All i want to do is make a copy of the torrent i downloaded that i can watch in my standalone DVD player (Sony NS-575P) which also contains miscellaneous files (artwork, info, and checksums files) so i can use it later for reseeding. I hope my objective comes through clearly. That's why i need all checksums to match.
Peace & thanks,
Roblov.
