No, the information is all contained on the website.

When I ordered the cds, I was hoping I would be able to search the data 
differently then the website allows.  But I was not able to.  The 
Search rules are a little more flexable but not by much.  I then 
attempted to upload all the data from the cds into a PAF program and 
merge families, etc...  I worked on it for months before deciding that 
it was impossible!  Oh well...

Yes, I have it.  The VRI is different from the IGI.

You can search the VRI at:
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?
PAGE=vr/search_VR.asp&clear_form=true

You can search the IGI at:
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?
PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

I think there is a small overlap betweent the two but it is very 
small.  And when you compare the IGI data vs the VRI data, the VRI 
usaually has more.

As far as Totatiche (since this is my area of study and I am familar 
with this area), these films are included in VRI:

Christening - Totatiche, Jalisco, Mexico 
C617077 1798-1820 1164017
C617078 1820-1833 1164018
C617079 1833-1846 1164019

Marriage - Totatiche, Jalisco, Mexico
M617071 1755-1807 1164031
M617072 1807-1853 1164032
M617073 1853-1883 1164033
M617074 1883-1895 1164034

I'll see if I have a complete list of VRI films.

Are you related to Gutierrez and Gonzalez families
from Pugueros which is located next to Tepatitlan? 
The reason I'm asking is that my wife is from Pegueros
and is related to Gutierrez and Gonzalez families from
that town.  

Something I noticed when I visited that part of
Mexico: The women are very beautiful! Maybe it is the
water?
