There's audio/mp3_check which accepts an arbitrary number of files (ie: you 
can wrap it in find+xargs). 
I'm not sure how much time this may cost though.

As for video: this entirely depends on the format and what 'corrupted' means 
exactly. A corrupted header might be easy to find, but other than that, most 
(if not all) video formats allow for arbitrary lengths, which means that each 
frame has it's own checksum or equivalent.

A fast / batch way for checking mp3 and movies ?

2003-11-30 Thread Ion-Mihai Tetcu
Hi,


Do to a corupted southbridge on myu old mobo I've found myself with
about 50G of mp3s and movies some ok some corrupted. Does anyone know of
what tools I could use to batch check them. I would need something like
a list of those that are corrupted.



Thanks,
