Torrent as a file copier on same pc
 

Question:
Is there a way to copy files from a dvd in my dvd drive to the harddisk using a torrent file?
Doing so will ensure that the files copied are exactly the same as in the disc?
If so, How?

That is perhaps the most needlessly elaborate scheme for ripping a DVD ever conceived, but I see no obvious reason why it should not work.

Copy-paste would ALSO work, mind you

Copy-paste isnt guaranteed bit for bit!

I am after the hash check to ensure what i have are exactly 100% identical.
And I need to copy it AS-IS and not contained in a damn ISO coz I need to rename two files before burning it to a new disc again. With an ISO, renaming just one file in it will cause REWRITING the whole iso thus requiring more free disk spcae and compromising the bit for bit exactness of the original.

bottom line: Is there any other way to copy files off a dvd AS-IS with bit for bit checking without having it ''contained'' in some file format? and if in the event a few copied files are off, also allow me to fix those specific parts like a torrent?

So you want a BIT-FOR-BIT duplicate so that you can then change something

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT

Seriously, the torrenting will work for your purposes (assuming your torrent client checks these things) but so will, I don't know, some par2s or something. Is this DVD like secret evidence for the NSA that cannot be compromised, what the fuck

Just two files to change man! The rest I need to be perfectly identical with the source. understand? If I copy as ISO I cant change the two files and if I do change a file it will rewrite a whole new ISO before I can burn!

I got the torrent to reflect on the DVD and harddisk, but as expected a few files on the hddisk were off a few bytes, how do I make the torrent download just those bad byte from the DVD?

No not NSA, but NBI. Here in my country. :P

Er, even if your ISO gets "rewritten" it should be a bit for bit copy of the actual data even if you change the filenames (obviously the filenames will be different).

I don't think you understand what you're talking about here. For example, can you explain what a "sector" is, in relation to file systems?

Trust me. Renaming the files in the ISO will be fine.

Suck my cock.

Fool.
I did rename the files at first by editing the ISO, burned the NEW ISO (I used UltraISO, MagicISO, PowerISO) and some rars were corrupted, http://www.gamingforce.org/forums/os...rning-iso.html
some videos had glitches and pops on the audio that ARE NOT in the original!

Bobo.

So you figured BitTorrent would save the day?

Use IsoBuster, it can extract files from optical media without using the standard Windows file access routines. Ensures a perfect copy.

Read my 2nd post meow, I was asking if there is another way.
So thank you Liquid Acid I will try that!!! Ive never heard of Isobuster!

Some note: You can do this if you don't trust the Windows file access implementation. The Windows implementation should however also detect when a sector could not be read from the optical media (that's why there are EDC and ECC fields).

Just asking, but how will you go about using a torrent to download from yourself anyway?

That would be easy: Setup a local tracker on your machine with seeding capabilities (like Azureus, I think it should do it). Then use another client (or try running 2 instances of Azureus) to download from the local client.

If you want to use only one tool you can setup Azureus A on your normal machine, then create a VM. In the VM you setup Azureus B and download from the host machine. This should only result in loopback traffic. So you're only limited by the drive speeds.

This of course is some crazy setup (which noone needs) but it should work :D
