Open a Command prompt.
Go to (e.g.: cd \Videos) the directory/folder with the video clips.
Type 'dir > videos.txt'
The DIR output will create a file named videos.txt

This an "ancient" method left over from the MS-DOS days.

If you have a decent editor, you can also run DOS commands inside it,
so you don't need to do funky things like redirection.
I use Ultra Edit Studio for HTML editing, and it can execute DOS-commands
by pressing F9. So the output of a DIR-command, appears straight in the
program. It's much easier to edit the text in UE Studio, as it has better
Search and Replace than MS-Word.

Yup. Old, but still works just fine, with no special software or other
tricks.
