1637
Fast blanking is a way of quickly erasing a disc. This method
1638
is much faster than fully erasing the disc and is sufficient
1639
to allow the disc to be written to again.
1642
The full erasing procedure is slower but is more secure, as it
1643
removes all traces of previous data. Data removed from fast

blanked media can still be recovered with special tools.

Checking the integrity of a CD or DVD makes sure that the

files written to the disc are intact and have not been corrupted
1654
during the burning process.
1657
The integrity check is done using the <quote>MD5 digest</quote>
1658
algorithm, which creates a <quote>fingerprint</quote> of the
1659
data on the media. Each time you burn a CD or DVD, and the

enabled (see <xref linkend="brasero-plugins"/> for more

1663
to perform integrity checks at a later date.
1666
<application>Brasero</application> performs an integrity check after each burning session,

checking the automatically generated file. Usually this process is
