If you want to search your dvd (I supposed that is /media/dvd - I don't have 
any) for the *info* packages and query what files they contain:

find /media/dvd -name *info*rpm -exec rpm -qpl {} \;

or if you want to see the package descriptions:

find /media/dvd -name *info*rpm -exec rpm -qpi {} \;

It is the -p switch to rpm that does it; it queries uninstalled packages.
