How to find movie titles that don't match filename

    I have a problem with movies being scraped incorrectly because the title in the movie databases is different from the title I have in the file name. An example is the movie "Mae Bia" AKA "Snake Lady" or "The Snake Lady". If I have the file named "The Snake Lady" it will get scraped incorrectly and added as the wrong movie. I have a large collection and certainly haven't been able to find all of these manually.

    I need a way to find cases like this, either with Media Companion or with a separate application. I can't figure out how to do this. I realize any method will give a lot of false positives but scanning through the output will be a lot faster than checking movies one at a time with Media Companion.

    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Wayne

    Figured it out. Just used findstr "<title>" *.</p></title>

    I have a video folder with all my videos, some in separate sub folders. I opened a command window, cd'd to E:\videos. I then ran the command:

        findstr "<title>" *.nfo > nfosearch.txt
    

    Sorry for the typo in my previous post.
