    Hi All
    Somehow I managed to delete about 200Gb+ of movies!
    I'm in process of restoring them as I type, but I did wonder if there is a way to test the files integrity once they are back?

    Only way I can think of would be to crc or md5 checksum files for the original files. In theory if what you are restoring is a direct copy, then they should match. In theory.

    Nice theory - but the originals were deleted - I am having to restore them :(
    It took 2 days but now most of them are back - looks like my Bond collection got a kicking (missing about 12 of them now)

    Just being curious...what application do you use for restoring? I used R-Studio in the past and was quite satisfied with the results

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
