sounds like PAR2 could be usefull as an extra protection. if one wants, one can put the PAR2 file as a mode2form1 (protected) file on the cd as well. however, i don't think it will be usable in real time playback, since it sounds to me as if it would take quote a long time to correct an error.
however, if one copiees the movie file to the HD (dat2file or xcd2file when the backup protection is incorporated), then the PAR2 file could be used to correct the data. nice. |

But really, Parchives are just an implementation of the same old Reed-Solomon encoding that have been used on optical discs forever. So, the idea is to use reed-solomon encoding to increase error protection at a non-hardware level to make it more flexible for the amount you want to use each time. |

pamel, i guess you could be right, however, you'd need to implement it at the matroska level, which will make it hard to 'fix' a scratched cd to recreate the original clip without specialized matroska tools.
my idea was of an optional supplemental ECC facility for the file as a whole, to retain the original clip as much as possible, in an off-line type of execution, and with standard tools. i think it's important that users will be able to correct scratched CDs and recreate the original. although a JIT ECC would be nice as well of course |

Kinda "overread" this interesting thread and thought to share my thoughts:

If you use a error correcting code with finer granularity (so that it can be corrected on the fly), you need more overhead to achieve a comparible level of protection - that's what's done on a conventional 650MB CDROM. |
