I need to check about 2400 .jpg's for duplicates. I ran them thru my
ACDsee duplicate finder which found 400 or so. Can anyone recommend a
small program I could use to clean out the rest?

I'm running XP SP/2.

TIA

Here is a ZDNet article comparing different programs.

Neat. Works well.

I need a duplicate file like that but for audio and video files (wav,
mp3, wma, wmv, avi, mov) rather than image files.

I don't know of one.
When I want to do this with music files (wavs, mp3s etc) I normally
first check the song length and bitrate etc using something which
displays these things like MP3Tag - or I even play them via Winamp
to compare differences, because two files with the same length can
sound very different and using any sort of binary compare isn't the
solution.

"If you download and collect image files, or any other type of file,
you may be wasting space on duplicates. Now you can find them quickly,
and easily with DupeLocater. Just drag the directories to search into
DupeLocater and click search. Then drag the duplicate files out to
where ever you want, another folder, a viewer, or the recycle bin.
DupeLocater does NOT care about file names or dates, only the contents
of the files. Files are considered duplicates only if their entire
contents are identical."
