Cataloging of External Media

Any suggestions or ideas for cataloging/organizing of images on external media, such as CD-R, DVD-R, and hard drives (not connected). I think I want something that will generate thumbnails, viewable in an browser such as Internet Explorer, and able to move around the database or indexes to different computers.

I've found this one http://www.softsea.com​/review/IMage-CATalog.html , does pretty good, but there are a few things it doesn't do very well at. For free what can one expect.

What can I get for $29.95 or less?
Only kidding....

iView media Pro does the job.
For finding back files on CD based on name, CDFinder is nice.

A second vote for IView Media pro.

Crap, that certainly busts my $29.95 budget.

Looks like they've got a trial I can tryout.

Definately try it out first.
Go to TheDambook.com and read the IView forum for some thoughts on it before you proceed, or else get the book (The DAM Book - by Peter Krogh).
Knowing HOW you are going to organize your images is as important as doing it.

Tried the iView Media Pro 3 trial and it ended up a no-brainer so far as purchasing it. Nothing else I had tried could do what I wanted. This does it all and then some. I even got lucky and was able to order it with educational pricing.

Thanks for the recommendations

Another thing you can try is create contact sheets and save them as jpegs in the root folder of the CD/DVD. Then you can choose how big you want the thumbnails to be.
