Can i see if a .vob has been re-encoded ?

[Garda]

I have some DVD's with some movies and i don't trust the NFO's,so i want to know if there is any way if i can see if the was re-encoded with CCE,DVD Shrink or any other similar software.

Thanks :)

I'm pretty sure legally acquired DVDs don't come with an NFO ;)

Many, many years ago I used to have some knowledge of this stuff.... :D Even back then, many of them would tell you it was re-encoded to fit on 4.7gb DVDs and that app "???" was used. For example, it would say "CCE, 3 passes" or something along those lines.

Oh well, I expect this thread will go *poof* pretty soon.

Yes - it clearly violates rule 6. The only advice I can give you Garda, to ensure your files are not sourced from someone else, is to examine the filesystem (sector 16) - the source file application/implementation ID should be shown there. If it is anything other than a commercial authoring program, you will know it is bootleg/backup.
