I have made several copies of DVDs in the past year. I was wondering if there is a program that will tell me the
date I recorded these. I am trying to keep track of the new ones I copy by writing them down. The reason I ask is
because I would like to monitor the older ones to see how
long the media is going to last before it takes a dump on
me. I recorded most of these with DVD shrink and Nero 6.0
but have used DVD xcopy and xcopy xpress in the past.
Thanks for any help you can offer!!

Windows will tell you all you need to know.

Open the disk in Windows Explorer (My Computer for the technically challenged).

On the VIDEO_TS Folder, right-click and choose Properties: the creation date is displayed along with other info (the creation date is the date it was burned).

Open the VIDEO_TS Folder and right-click on VTS_01_1.VOB, display properties: the creation date is displayed (the creation date is the date it was ripped/shrunk).

That should give you all that you need...

And if you're really anal (like me), you can start a spreadsheet (Excel or whatever) with all the info so you'll never again need to check each disc's properties ... I include movie name, its original size, how long Shrink took, how long it took to burn, the type of disc used, etc.

Yeah, I know, sounds like a lot of work. But really, it takes me all of maybe a minute per DVD to record the info. And it also keeps me from backing up the same DVD twice ... I just check my spreadsheet if I can't remember whether I've already done it or not. :-)
