Indexing DVD Contents

Post by IanG »

A friend of mine (it's not me, honest!) has a huge collection of pictures which he's been copying to DVDs over the years. He's never indexed them and now he's got the problem of trying to find specific images.

Is there any way AISB can read the contents of existing DVDs and add them to its db, along with the disk label?

Indexing a picture DVD

Post by Barry »

AISBackup cannot do this, and to be honest I would not be happy unless I had thumbnail pictures stored on the local PC along with the CD/DVD volume name, file names etc so that I can then easily find a picture.

I had a quick look at Google's Picasa and this looked promising, but Picasa cannot index files on removable CD/DVD media - unless I missed something - shame.

Shame, but thanks for your help! Just fyi, the images in question are all astro photographs - they have to be indexed by filename and date/time -thumbnails wouldn't work. That said, I'd love to see something like AISB with specific image handling features such as thumbnails and enhanced indexing.
