Checking the integrity of a CD or DVD makes sure that the
files written to the disc are intact and have not been corrupted
during the burning process.
The integrity check is done using the “MD5 digest”
algorithm, which creates a “fingerprint” of the
data on the media. Each time you burn a CD or DVD, and the
Image checksum plugin is
enabled (see Section 8 ― Plugins for more
information), Brasero adds a MD5 file to the disc in order
to perform integrity checks at a later date.
Brasero performs an integrity check after each burning session,
checking the automatically generated file. Usually this process is
longer than using an external MD5 file.
To check the integrity of a disc:
-
Insert the CD or DVD to be checked into the drive.
-
From the menu bar, choose , or press Ctrl+F.
-
You can check the integrity by using a MD5 file or by
letting Brasero automatically perform a check on the media.
-
Select the Use a md5 file to check the
disc option to use an MD5 file.
-
Click on the None button under
the previously mentioned option and select an MD5 file,
usually ending with the .md5
extension.
-
Click on the Check button to start
the integrity check.
If the integrity check is successful, Brasero will notify you with a
File integrity check success dialog;
otherwise, the File integrity check error
dialog will be displayed.
