Grab some video files from a CD / DVD which have the time / date format yymmdd in the file name and sort them into $HOME/Videos/yyyy/mm/dd.

Has lots of checks, checks if the medium is already mounted and mounts it otherwise, saves a nice log to $HOME/Videos/dvd.log, asks for overriding, checks if the filesize is the same of the copied and copying file, calculates average speed, displays copying percentage, takes the time to copy / file, has colorised output displays file size and maybe some things more :).

Maybe uploading screenshot when I get better internet.
