Yesterday I burned a 25 GB BD-R filling 99% of data (24.869.928.960 bytes, total). I noticed the writing was sucessfully, but while verifying (and I do verify all discs after), ImgBurn returned the L-EC Uncorrectable Error while checking one of the files. Just one. ImgBurn continued the ckecking after that, and completed that task.
It seems the disc was burned 100% OK, but 1 of the 249 files had the MD5 hash changed. That's right, 249 files were burned total, 248 of them repeated the same HASH compared to my SSD.
1 didn't.
I used a program called MD5Summer, to create hashes from all of them. From SSD and BD-R.
After more/less 40 minutes, it did while checking this Ritek BD-R, then I repeated the same process with the folders, stored in my SSD.
This site compared the contents of both texts: https://www.diffchecker.com
It told me these hashes (digital fingerprints) are different:
BD-R:
d37d912a9952c34024977afce372b94f *MOVIE.mkv
SSD:
4e33f33f67936bfeddb5362bb938936c *MOVIE.mkv
That particular MKV has 3.34 GB size, 6 subtitles, 3 audio tracks, HEVC video...
And when I open from the BD-R, don't notice anything different (unless I need to watch 100% of the content, while also switching between tracks). But it IS different, since the hash changed.
The question is:
- What went wrong here, and should I assume this MKV is the same as the one stored in my SSD, despite the hash change? Or I need to do another backup from that single file?
Another Ritek BD-R I am having a problem with. Probably that area of the disc is damaged?
The other I had an issue spent more than 30 minutes "writing lead-in", and was stuck in that step. Do I need to discard this BD-R disc? I had to interrupt the writing, but ImgBurn says the media is empty.
********
P.S. I was able to determine if the file was OK. It isn't, and I already discarded.
- Simply copy all contents from the BD-R into your SSD, again. If it fails, it's damaged.
All were fine, except for this affected MKV. So it's safe to assume the burning went OK 99%, except for that 1% related to that Matroska.
Also, after carefully looking into the disc surface, I believe I noticed either a small scratch which probably account for that problem, or some sort of disc surface anomaly, likely during manufacturing. I doubt this was caused by the external drive or ImgBurn, since other discs were fine during burning and checking. Or the fact I used 99%. This isn't the first coaster I am looking at... not the 1st time it happened, sadly.
