We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Hello!

I'm looking for DVD-based storage management software. Something like a database that would record which files are on which disks and the checksums of this data. I tried searching, but I don't seem to be a good enough Googler.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English - I wrote this via Google Translate.

A possible solution is VVV (Virtual Volumes View) to create an offline searchable database of your discs, then export to csv or txt and add your HASH in a separate column.

I pipe a recursive dir command output to a text file named for the disk number, and keep those text files in a folder. To find stuff, I use windows explorer to search for text inside files.

If movies came packed in an archive, I'll use the checksum from that file to make an sfv. Otherwise, I run Corz Checksum to make a checksum in each folder.
