Just for curiosity, but wondering if there is there any way of getting DVD Profiler to count the total disks in a collection (totaling the number of separate disks shown for each title)?

I don't think so, unless you have a separate profile for every disc in your collection.

Well, I don't know what I'm doing wrong then. I finally found it but I had to jump through hoops and it took about 10 minutes of searching:

Unless you know exactly which Forum to search in and which criteria, Subject or Entire Message, your search will take a long time and it's no wonder that most users give up after a few minutes of fruitless searching.

The problem with this is that we shouldn't have to be using Google at all. Most Newbs aren't going to know this little trick. The search engine used here on the Invelos Forums need a serious revamping.
