In fact the real disc ID is the burning date without the disc label. Check
the source of
src/identifymedia.py.

Try to get Nero under windows, open a new compilation, put your files,
burn a CD. Now
you don't close Nero, you don't close the compilation, you only delete
your files in the
compilation, put some new files, and burn a new CD. They will both have
the same ID
because Nero puts EXACTLY the same date/time (including HHmm !). Maybe
I'm stupid to
do that, but I'm sure I'm not alone, and I loose less time like that.

I'm talking about CD, DivX in fact. Even if you see the media-id tag displaying
date+label, in the sources, you ONLY take the date as the ID.

Something is missing, because I pasted tags, I paste it again :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/Covers]# cat SEX_ACADEMY.fxd CHICKEN_RUN.fxd
JOHNNY_MNEMONIC.fxd |grep media-id
(disc media-id="2003031810270000SEX_ACADEMY"/)
(disc media-id="2003031810270000CHICKEN_RUN"/)
(disc media-id="2003031810270000JOHNNY_MNEMONIC"/)
I replaced normal tags begin and ends with ( ).
when you read the ID, you get only the 16 firsts chars, so NOT the label,
for these 3
CDs, I had the same cover. Once I had modified the sources to get the ID
+ 4 firsts
chars, I had no problem to get 1 cover per CD.

I made the change, I didn't notice everything wrong with the rest. I didn't
even need to
make .fxd files again !
What in Freevo is really using the DiscID except fxd files to show information
and covers
of a movie ?
