hi
For some reasons that are beyond the topic of this thread, I ended up with a lot of corrupted files on my hard drives.
Bad compressed archives are easy to detect, thanks to the archive testers included in most compression programs, but I have also a lot of music (mainly mp3 and ogg vorbis, but also flac and some others), video files (avi, ogm, matroska, asf, all that), and I don't know any good way of handling that.
So I'm asking for any program/s that can help me sort out this mess; to detect corruption (at least formatting corruption, I know that content corruption may not be as easy to detect if it doesn't break the format) among as many file formats as possible.
Note that I'm talking about corrupted files not a corrupted filesystem. I mean, it is the files' bitstream that is corrupted, not the disk nor the filesystem.
Its a kind of corruption like you would find in a bad ftp download.
THE FILE SYSTEM ITSELF IS COMPLETELY CORRECT & FINE.
