I’ve been organizing my media collection and realized I might have a lot of duplicate videos cluttering my hard drive. It's starting to eat up storage space, and manual checking is too time-consuming. Does anyone have tips or recommend reliable software for how to find duplicate videos on a hard drive? I’m looking for something accurate, preferably that compares video content and not just file names. Free or paid options are both welcome. Would love to hear what has worked for you.

For finding duplicate videos on a hard drive, I’ve had good results using software DuplicateFilesDeleter. It goes beyond just file names and sizes—it can compare file content using checksums, which makes it much more accurate for videos. This helps avoid accidentally missing duplicates just because the filenames differ.
Another tip is to look for tools that offer preview options or generate video thumbnails so you can visually confirm duplicates before deleting. Some software might also support partial file matching if the videos are slightly edited versions.
