[QUOTE="Floopy Tofu, post: 1390879, member: 246568"] The software I used to have created a searchable catalog or database of all the files on a DVD and associated those files with the name of the DVD. All the DVDs have to have unique names and it takes a long time to create that database initially, but it makes it very easy to find a file when you don't know what disc it could be on. For example, I could do a search for "logo" and it would return a list of files that had the word "logo" in the file name, along with the name of the disc they were saved on. There are a number of commercial products that do this, but I hoped there might be a freeware version out there. [/QUOTE]
