Dumping cards

On set, when I dump cards, I...

1) copy the files over,
2) double-click on each one in sequence to make sure it plays,
3) confirm that the alphabetical first and last file have copied, so I've got every file,
4) delete the files off the card.

Now, the only problem I have with this workflow is number 2. If the files are corrupted, it's possible that they will still appear to play normally. Also, I don't like spending all the time clicking of files if there's a faster way.

Does anyone know any program that will quickly confirm that all my files are completely uncorrupted? This seems like the kind of thing that might exist! Do you guys suggest any changes in the way I dump cards?

On a Mac, you can hit space in the finder window to bring up a quick preview of the file, images and documents pop up still and videos start playing at a lower resolution. Then hit up and down to go between files. That's if you want to check every file

I've only had a problem with corrupted data on one project, and it was a HDD issue. When we dump in the field we transfer over, check first and last file names and go.
