Integrity Verification without downloading

#1 Post by fedeb » Fri Dec 19, 2025 2:05 pm

Hi
Is there a way to use MKV or other software to check a BD or UHD disc to see if it's good or corrupted, like with time jumps, pixelation, etc.?
But without having to rip it completely and take up 80GB of space on my hard drive?
Is there a method to check it, or do I absolutely have to go through the whole process of saving 80GB even if I don't want to rip it?

Thanks

Sorry, you need to read every byte of every file you want.

cat

You could simply use "cat" on every file from the drive and if an error occurs during cat you then make decisions.

ie.

Code: Select all

# pretend 00010.m2ts is your 1 big movie.m2ts file
cat "00010.m2ts" > /dev/null
# errors will still print
# I don't remember how cat behaves when it can't continue :-/

Okay I see the time inspecting a blu-ray ultimate will be the same as riping.
From a discord channel someone advice me to use "vso inspector" I use it and its good.
It found issues with a 4k looper disc that I know it has freeze issues.

Thanks.
