DVD Random (MD5, Text file, Data Disc Questions)

[Five]

you can make playable DVDs using an EXTRAS_TS folder... check this link for some info (where it says "advanced")

I do this all the time now, works great in my standalone & on the comp + I can run the md5 straight from the playable disc

You have to put additional files outside AUDIO and VIDEO_TS folder, just in root or to any separate folder. Burn in standard DVD-Video mode. Some SA players won't recognise video burnt as DVD-ROM (UDF).

i was wondering, when you trade shn or flac discs, you have the text file, md5 and whatever other info that goes with it on the disc with the tracks, right? so what about the same for dvd's? most people i've talked to don't keep that info, so when you trade for it, you're out of luck. if you're trading dvd's, should you trade them as data discs so you can include that info? i burn reg copies to watch and data copies with all the info and covers i have for each show and archive them with my shn & flac discs. i'm currently starting a vine, and i'm going to send data discs out. the viners can copy the files to their comp and burn them from there along with getting the info, etc... is this "bad ettiqutte" or frowned upon? should you send regular dvd discs and let them fend for themselves? i haven't really seen a standard set for this. does anyone upload text files & md5s to etree, like for audio discs? hmmm.......

i always archive everything possible...one day dvd traders will finally see the need for checksums like flac traders have

seed it in data fomat

[chewie420]

cool, my thoughts exactly. i think i'm gonna start trading that way too. if i'm gonna take the time to burn and trade, i want all the info that goes with it just like in my audio collection. i'm gonna look into making a repository site for text files & md5's, nothing else. just a list / small archive for dvds in circulation. i'll keep you posted...

you can create a folder, name it something like "EXTRAS"

and the dvd will still play in any player, but in a computer, the extras folder will be there. i don't think too many people know about that. and it WILL work in a dvd player... i can't stress that enough... it WILL

I burn Data using Nero express- and I add the VIDEO_TS, Text file, MD5, and a cover if I have one. I don't use any extra folders unless I need to- and it plays fine on my DVD player. I always ask on a trade or B&P though, some players won't play them (from what I understand)- of course I use a 80 dollar Go-Video VHS/DVD player from walmart. Funny the cheaps will play anything you put in them. Also burning DVD this way saves a lot of bullshit clutter in the pc. I think when using Nero Burning Rom I select the UDF/ISO compilation to do the same things. I like verifying dvds because I'm starting to notice "upgrades" on some GD and Phish Shows. Sometimes you have to ignore the warning that Nero tells you about adding video files, they work just fine.

If i burn a data and put all the items (vts, ats, md5, text) in a master folder, the disc won't play...however, if i burn them without them being in a master folder, plays fine, regardless of the other info being on there...my experience to date

[GregY]

It's a bit more complicated than that. Regardless, I believe the 'higher-ups' there are working on getting DVD downloads going.

All the info burnt to dvd root is no problem on my first generation cheapo standalone.
It's a little bit annoying to have like DVD(3) in the lineage. *.vob is just as data as *.flac

[JimmyJon]

apparently I can't seed a DVD here without fingerprints..
I made an md5 with traderslittlehelper.. but how do I make fingerprints?
please help.
