MD5 checksum automation tools
Hi all,
Note - reposting this from the account I actually use for these things. My apologies.
Am working on a pro-bono archiving project for a filmmaker and thus don’t have institutional support to lean on for this. It involves about 30 large .dpx files - folders with thousands of individual frames scanned from 16mm film at 4K resolution. I was supplied MD5 checksums for each frame. Obviously I need to do due diligence and verify them but equally obvious is the time suck for this to run. (And she wants to make backup drives thus doubling the time…) Adding to the problem is only having access to the computers and hard drives (spinning) a few days a week. What tools or automation strategies can anyone recommend to keep this project from sprawling out over months? (MAC environment.)
Thanks,
Jeff
