  waterpump9991/22/2010

• Spontaneously quits when checking AVI files under Vista

  Spike Toronto1/20/2009

  Pros

  Reasonably simple to operate, Readme covers most options.

  Cons

  You must select entire contents of a folder to examine; you cannot select a subset.

  Summary

  Unable to calculate MD5 checksums of original AVI files on my hard drive, let alone compare the ones I just burned to a DVD. Tried several times, but had to give up. By default it ignores picture and movie files, but since that's what I'm trying to burn to data DVDs, I needed to learn how to change that behaviour before getting anywhere. Disappointed it wouldn't work for me; surprised after reading all the other positive comments here.

• Plenty functionality but not what I'm looking for

  televisi10/4/2008

  Pros

  Software got lots of funct, totally easy to get bunch of MD5 from specific folder

  Cons

  There is no MD5 comparison functionality (where you can compare with md5 txt file received from internet), you still need to compare it manually in notepad

  Summary

  I like this one, especially the small installation file

• the GUI is what sets this apart

  NYJohn4132/9/2008

  Pros

  Creating & checking checksums couldn't be simpler. You can define what types of files to exclude, a nice touch.

  Cons

  Inability to accept command line instruction, at least none that I know of.

• Good, but confusing

  fun2program88/17/2007

  Pros

  You can have it create MD5 sums for you in a batch sort of way. That at least it does very well. If it weren't for that I'd be giving it a lower score.

  Cons

  It is overly confusing. You need to figure out how to make an MD5 file for the program or whatever you are checking, and then you can finally tell the program to check it. Why not just say "here's the hash, here's the program, check it"? Sheesh.

• Crashes too much !

  Sad But True7/5/2007

  Pros

  HkSFV does what it should do. It checks your files compared to the SFV-file.

  Cons

  The program hangs too often. At first this happened once and a while, but then, after having the program installed for a couple of months, it hang almost all the time.

• Fast and accurate verification

  Quick access from desktop, makes a pre-burning check of files very easy.

  Cons
