Thanks for the infos!

And "yes": My PHP/Python examples were not related to FFmpeg, but this discovery led me to become curious how FFmpeg does it - and therefore ask this question :)

Will read the Giorgio-Thread and maybe return with reproducible (commandline + uncut console output) question scenarios.



Thank you very much!

Hashing for fixity and transfer-checking seems to be quite a bottleneck
for archiving big video/film files for archiving.

Therefore I was considering if using "simpler" algorithms (like CRC
instead of SHA256) could speed up the process.
I was surprised that e.g. MD5 vs CRC in Python as well as PHP
seemed to be equally "fast".
But this is not related to FFmpeg, no?

So I was wondering:
Does FFmpeg have/do any speed optimization for hashing functionality
(framemd5, hash muxer, etc) in its code?
Some of Giorgio's commits were meant to increase hash function
speed:
http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=search;s=vazzana;st=author
There is an email with a script to compare the implementation's speeds,
I don't know when it was sent to the development mailing list though.
This mail leads to a long thread:
http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2013-May/143854.html
In the end a file tools/ffhash.c was created to compare hash
implementation speeds.
