Hi Zed and Welcome to Outfront. Sounds like you need a database solution here. You need to put your dvds into a database and include items such as category in the database table. You can then use FrontPage and forms to interact with the database. Do you have MS Access? If so, you may want to create your db and then import it to FP. If you do not have Access, FP can create an Access db for you. What you need to do is create a FP form that includes fields for all the items you want to list for each dvd. Once the form is created, you right-click it and choose "Form Properties". Then choose the "send to database" option. Click the "Options" button and you will see a button labeled "Create Database". Click that and FP will create a db for you. Does that help you get started?
If you get stuck, post questions in the Database/ASP forum. We'll be glad to help you along.
Good luck!
