I am a geek, but I'm not yet of sufficient geek status to do what I want to...after I finish up the next few tests here I'm going to throw myself at PHP, and maybe C+, both of which could accomplish my goal.

The Dilly:

I archive data to DVDs. This is good. In order to know what's on the DVD, I type a description. This is also good. Sometimes, however, since DVDs hold a LOT of stuff, there's LOTS of different things on the DVD. Then I basically have to generate (by hand) a file tree, and type in all the directories that it contains, the files, etc.

What I want is to be able to insert the burnt disc in the drive and have a program that will read the directory structure and create a DVD insert (the big kind, for the full cases) that displays this information. Preferably, it would have a field to declare the title for the disc and the date.

Does such a product exist yet?

If not, anyone feel bored?
