i have a number of svcd and vcd in cue & bin format on my harddrive which i had to copy paste from my old dying harddrive,i know some of them are now corupt but how can i find out which without playing them all and having to watch them all the way through.
is there a program that will check the bin file for bad frames so i know which to delete and which to keep?

Burn to cdrw you cant go wrong.. lend them to your friends to watch . Also this is what the fast forward button is for. Just shows how unreliable HD can be.. what make?? IBM I bet!

VCDGear witll strip out the MPG's from BIN/CUE's. It will also 'fix' the MPEG if you tell it to. You can then re-burn via NERO as VCD or SVCD(whichever is appropriate).

Copy/Paste shouldn't induce errors. That's a sign of a major failure if it happened.

You could stirp out the mpg with isobuster, with skip errors on.

just another quick question,when these programs fix the errors do they delete the bad sections of film leaving gaps throughout the film?

[Hardcoreruss]

I had a bad file once. Isobuster extracted the file and reported it had 18,000 file errors, I could not notice any problems at all. I am not exactly what it does to the errored frames.

[Gazorgan]

It depends on the GOP structure. You can't just delete a frame anywhere you want. I have seen fixes that repeat the prior frame, producing the ghosting affect. Put it never last more than 2/3 of second (max GOP length). Small price to pay for a dead harddrive.

Have you tried any Harddrive recovery tools, like Emergency Recovery, or anything from the Maxtor site?

i've given up on the drive now as its not even detected by my system now but i did manage to retrive 70% of the data before it died,i've got the reciept so its off back to maxtor soon as i get an RMA number for it
