    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Organizing and indexing video clips

I work at a production company that has oodles of video footage spread out over dozens of hard drives. A lot of this footage is just hanging out in storage, but occasionally we need to go back into the archives to pull out a specific clip.

What I'm wondering is if there's some kind of program that will allow me to plug in all the data on these hard drives so that if we ever need to look for an old piece of footage we won't have to waste time scanning through the plethora of files on all our drives. Basically I'm looking for some kind of indexing software. Anything that will let me run up a search for specific file names and tell me what drive they're on.

I've been searching around for a while now and have had no luck so far, so I'm hoping someone here might have an idea.

Thanks in advance.
