inhahe / cdcheck Goto Github PK

This is a python program that checks the integrity of all the files on a CD/DVD/BR/whatever. After it finishes checking the drive it displays a list of files that had read errors.

There are three versions of the program here that do more-or-less the same thing. The best version is probably cdcheck.py, it works by calling an OS function to copy the files to "NUL". For linux I guess you'd have to change "NUL" to "dev/nul" or something (I don't know a whole lot about linux) and also change one or two \'s to /'s and/or use os.path.join instead.

The other versions just open the files and read them and throw away the data. I think cdcheck3.py is a later version over cdcheck2.py.

One improvement that would be nice for someone to push would be the ability to take the drive letter/directory as a command-line parameter. Currently they're just hard-coded to use whatever drive letters that suited my purposes at the times of writing.

An option to suppress printing the name of every file it checks, or to print them all on the same line with each one overwriting the last, would be good too.
