[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 346441, member: 10858"] MD5 hash is not is not that useful when it comes to identifying media files. You could have hundreds of different encoding parameters used for the same video clip, so every one would result a different hash value. Same for music. When you transfer the audio cd to PC the results will be pretty different for every person: 1) CD/DVD drives might read one bit less / more than others producing different hash value 2) Slight change in encoding parameters (or even different version of encoder used) will produce different hash value [/QUOTE]
