So you only want to keep the updated sets on your hd....
Easiest would be to use diffdats from Logiqx. They included only the changed sets and so you could keep these on your hd while the rest stays on dvd.


Another way would be something like this:
Insert DVD1, run a SCAN.
Insert DVD2, run a fastscan....repeat that until you're through all dvds... (assuming you only have your dvdpath added as rompath)
You know have a list with 'problems in your collection'.
Hmmm......not really what I wanted to go to.......anyway...use fixdats...currently I don't see an easier method.

...or copy the dvds to hd 8) hdspace is cheap.
