How to find damaged XDCAMex clips? at DVinfo.net

Hello together,

it looks like that my harddrive had some trouble (so I replaced it).

With the help of the Sony Clipbrowser thumbnail preview I found all clips which were totally damaged (you will see only a black picture with a red X inside the thumbnail), and replaced them with a copy from my old backups.

But now I found also some clips which look OK in the Clipbrowser, first (Thumbnail is viewable). Later during the editing I've seen that there are "just" some frames of the clip damaged. Looks like Dropouts on a Mini-DV Tape. Now my question:

Is there a solution to detect clips like this? I can't watch hours of footage of every project, just to make sure that all clips are still OK.
