[QUOTE="Zeuser, post: 126955, member: 20472"] I'm up to 600 discs and I use ANT. About half are DVDshrink copies and the other half are DVD-I discs with several Divx movies. Each movie is a seperate entry in the ant database. I use the "Media Label" field to indicate which sleeve in my box has the disc which has the movie. So for unique DVD-Video discs, only one entry per media label. For AVI files on DVD-I discs, I'll have multiple entries pointing to the same media label. BTW: This is my 1000 disc box I use: [img]http://www.canadacomputers.com/ProductImages/012309/62.jpg[/img] Each sleeve is suspended on rails and has 2 discs (front and back) and 2 number labels from 1 to 1000. My Media labels in Ant are formatted as A0000. "A" refers to the box, I don't expect to ever have more than 26 boxes (it took 3 years to build a 600 disc collection). And the "0000" is the sleeve number as labeled in the box. Now, for MP; I set up MyFilms to use the ant database and show the "Media label" field. So when I search for a specific movie I can see the media label and know exactly which box+sleeve to pull to get the disc. I've only indexed 100 of my 600 discs so far. I'm just too lazy. I have more fun ripping and burning than indexing. *sigh* [/QUOTE]
