After running a bit-by-bit comparison on a disc with CDCheck, no errors were reported. Upon a quick test of the video files I'd burned, I found one would not play. When I ran the comparison test on this file alone, CDCheck reported an error (2% match). The problem is reproducible. In a second test, CDCheck mistakenly reported an error in a file which was in fact a perfect copy (as verified by "MD5summer"). My disappointment is rather bitter because I've used CDCheck for a couple of years now, and this throws into question the integrity of all the data and media I archived away after running it through this utility. Think I'll use MD5 from now on...

Does what says and it's fully functionally freeware for personal use! (i.e. you can move it to freeware section - bye)

If yes you need this program. After you burn a cd this program will compare the original directory or files to what was put on a cd. This allows you to verify that you have a good backup or what ever. You can even create a hash file of the files to be copied for the cd before creating the cd so if the original files get destroyed you can still verify the contents have not been damaged by scratches as the cd gets older my matching hash files. Until I got this program I was using the Win Diff program included with the windows 98se cd as a stand alone tool. It does a good job but only to a point. Once you get many mb of files it starts giving errors sometimes unless you scan the cd in multiple parts. CD Check is also much faster. Free Personal but asks for a donation if you can. It's worth the donation. Must pay for business use.
