My approach would be to create a viewer .exe that gets installed to the user's HD along with an index file(s) and the thumbnails. The index has an entry for each image (give each image a unique ID) and the cd it's on. I disagree with the "miaw for each cd" approach, seems like unnecessary complication to me.
One advantage of this approach is that if you end up doing a dvd it's just a matter of changing the index file to point at all the files on the single disk. This is essentially a much simpler version of what we do with our dvd/cd products (Encarta). Unless you need to protect the images you could just leave them loose. A determined hacker could get them anyway. There might be a disk space savings to aggregating them in a single container file like a .cst though. Depends on what your needs are.

I have an interface in hd with thumbnails, the user click on it, and will be asked for the cd, so they can navigate in the full size images. My doubt is, what's the best the same interface in the others cd's with the larger images or only one movie that I "jump" to it, or a external cast...????
