Verifying Your File Integrity (Checksum)

Last updated on Feb 08, 2026

Because our files contain high-bitrate video and lossless audio, even a tiny "hiccup" in your internet connection can cause a "corrupt file" error during playback. To ensure your file is bit-perfect, you can check its MD5 Checksum.

How to verify:

  1. Windows: Open Command Prompt and type: certutil -hashfile [FILENAME].mkv MD5

  2. macOS: Open Terminal and type: md5 [FILENAME].mkv

  3. The Result: The computer will generate a string of letters and numbers. Compare this to the MD5 string provided on your "My Downloads" page. If they match exactly, your file is 100% healthy.
