Thanks all for the ongoing information all
@R.Belmont: I know I was oversimplifying things by going on about the cue/bin format. I know there can be different 'contained' files inside the CHD.
but my broader point was: would it be possible to store the hash information of the child file(s) as part of the CHD header? Why do you say what I seek is not possible??
@mw: "The sha1 hashes for .iso and .cue are only defined by the person who made those files. There isn't necessarily a standard to adhere to."
Forgive me, mw, but isn't that all a hash ever is anyway? What I'm struggling to get my head around is how one might quickly report on the the CHD content(like one can view 7z file content instantly before the lengthy extraction process).
