If i copied a movie i'd d/l to a CD and then copied it back to my shared dir. at a later date:-

Would emule rehash it and give it a new hash?

Yeah any errors during the burning process/scratched surface/read error by drive can all cause a hash change

So just say it does change the hash, is there any way to change it back.

If there is, and it's long winded, a yay will suffice and i'll cross that bridge

when i come to it.

Don't think you can restore the hash.

yeah, sometimes when I copy a file from CD it gets new hash

many times CDRoller helped me to copy it right :) (you can find it in emule too)

basicly what it do is read data directly from CD bypassing cache, data correction and all that stuff (it use it's own correction algorithms)

I tried few programs to do that, cdroller works best for me
just search google for 'CD data recovery'

to check a hash without reloading files in emule all the time you can use ed2k_hash

an alternative could be to use mldonkey. it has the feature to recognize similar segments in two files and copy them over. never done it myself but I think Wargand has saved a bunch of incomplete files that way.

mldonkey is shockingly terrible on win32 though, and for the time being at least i'm stuck with it until the bearded ladies can sort out NTFS read/write.

But your right that is a really great feature of mldonkey.
