CTAN Update: dvdcoll
Having lost the overview of my DVD archives, I simply could not remember if I already recorded the documentary running on TV that day. I chose to recreate the index using LaTeX: the design aim was a hyperlinked and fully searchable PDF-document listing my DVDs with all titles, contents, lengths and so on. Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll class supports all these requirements. dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result, the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on. Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German. Some help is needed for other languages! ;-) License: LPPL new in v0.7: - new feature: \listofdvds dvdcoll.cls now offers the possibility to produce a list of dvds. Therefore dvdcoll.cls will - on-the-fly - generate a database in BibTeX format. A BibTeX run with a specially adapted BibTeX style (dcbib.bst) will produce a sorted-by-key(=label) list, which will be included in another run of (pdf)latex. - several new command options (DvdSeries: labelbase,labelbaseprefix, labelbasesuffix, labelbaselength) were implemented for automatic generation of labels, e.g. RW0001, RW0002, ... - some minor improvements
