Practical how-tos for finding duplicate videos, cleaning up file names and organising a library on Windows. Free methods first.
Catch re-encoded, resized and renamed copies with Czkawka, Video Duplicate Finder or SceneSort Pro.
File Explorer, PowerRename, Bulk Rename Utility and PowerShell, plus regex patterns for video names.
Copy-paste regex and PowerShell to strip resolution, codec, source and group tags in bulk.
What the tags mean, how to remove them, and how to organise the results for Plex or Jellyfin.
An honest comparison of three duplicate finders, specifically for video.
FileBot is ideal for films and TV. Here's what to use for everything else, and when to use both.
Every guide shows the free way first. SceneSort Pro is our Windows app for doing the whole clean-up in one place, offline. Its free edition works on your first 500 files.
