Welcome to Visual CD
Are you archiving pictures, files and other
files and media to optical media? If so, you know that it
is quite frustrating to find that file you are looking for
if you ever need it in the future once you've moved it from
your computer. Sure, you can label your discs with as much
information as you can, but what if you could remember only
the name of a file instead of what disc it was on? If so,
Visual CD is the fast and easy way to help you out.
Visual CD is a disk cataloging tool to index
the contents of your media storage such as CDs, DVDs, HD-DVDs,
BlueRay Discs, USB disks, hard disks, folders and allow you
to search the contents at a later date.
Visual CD can index the files from the media
by name, date, ID3 tag data, audio-video and picture information,
generate thumbnail from picture and video files, and even
catalog files which are contained in Zip/Cab/Rar/7-Zip archive
files. Additionally, you can password protect catalogs in
case you want to hide sensitive filenames from prying eyes,
create MP3 playlist file without having the physical disks
in the drive. Upon insertion of the corresponding disk, you
can open files, extract Zip/Cab/Rar/7-Zip archive, splitting
files, and more.
The flexibility of Visual CD allows you to
move the catalogs from one folder to another, import/export
them, update the collections, renaming, and more.
Visual CD is easy to use! The Windows Explorer-like
style ensures that you will not find any difficulties to use
it. Visual CD also support full Windows visual style and user
friendly interface. Just try it and love it!
Visual CD is freeware. Feel free to use and
give this program to anyone you know. Your donation
or feedback would
be greatly appreciated. Enjoy...
