Looking for a freeware application to help with some DVD data restores I need to do. Short version, HDD Failure, burning plastic smell. This is just basic file copy, so please nobody suggest "DVD Shrink", we're talking about data DVD solutions and not video DVD

What I am looking for is a program that scans my DVD drive and upon insert, should copy the entire contents (each DVD has a uniquely named folder) into a specified location without interaction. After words, it should eject so I all I need to do is change out DVD's while I watch a movie.

Ideally it shouldn't interfere with shell focus (i.e. not stealing it away full screen video), but this is not a deal breaker. Currently the plan is to use a nircmd batch script, but that requires I pause the movie for a second and double click a batch file. Just figured someone might know an easier way.

nircmd.exe shellcopy "E:\*.*" "D:\Temp" yestoall noerrorui silent

nircmd.exe cdrom open E:

EDIT: On second thought, can anyone tell me how to capture the Insert DVD event (and possibly how to turn on event-logging for it) and maybe I can just use Task Scheduler to run the script for me. That way I can disable the task afterwards to revert to normal DVD behavior.

That's my fault, I meant to say I wanted to use the Task Scheduler.

Was looking for the correct Event Log + Event ID that could trigger the event.
