this is the ONLY reason why Movie Collector gets a 4 for its Features - Sorry :) Other than thats, as I said, I have not had any problems running the software, and as far as the price is concerned, $39.95, which comes to about £27 (incl. Also, I like the idea of having the ability to add a trailer stored on my HDD, which, again, is a feature not (yet?) offered by Movie Collector - or if it is possible to do so, the feature is very well hidden. ![]() However, I do miss some features, such as importing from, e.g., Delicious Library - I have got just over 1200 DVD's and it was a bit of a pain to manually add all of them to Movie Collector. I have not come across any major problem running the software and the interface is very user-friendly and it's quite easy to find your way around the programme. However, I never really liked the feel of Delicious (or DVDPedia for that matter) and thus was quite happy to see an alternative and after having tried out Movie Collector for a while I decided to purchase the full version and to transfer my DVD collection from Delicious to Move Collector. Up until I stumbled across Movie Collector I was using Delicious Library to catalogue my DVD's. It doesn't heat up my Powerbook, so it doesn't seem to consume lots of CPU space. Works well with OSX 10.4.3 and a G4 processor. It does have search strings for adult titles hrough Adult DVD Empire, but I haven't tried that yet. For ease of use, I started giving 4, but 5 stars since it was easier to manage than the other I tried. Two times it seemed hung up on a search item and it ended its search saying the effort timed out. You can configure and add genres, change pictures, so many different ways to make your search one that YOU choose and like to search. I've literally been up all night, and plan to buy this, because I've put almost 50 titles in, which is the shareware limit. cercati un posto per morire!" in, it will, yet the other sites I like to garner DVD info from, don't.īut geezypeezy, it's fun to use. ![]() I only hope the developers can see what I'm talking about, like for a movie like "Find a Place to Die." IMDB didn't recognise the search, but if you put "Joe. Should I give it the high five? I think so, since this is the best I've found. Perhaps there's a way to configure the "aka" title that IMDB uses? But then, some searches give me more hits than I'd imagine for IMDB. You can use the UPC barcode, but IMDB doesn't recognize that. Try getting the trifecta, though and you're lucky to do it. Either you get 2 out of 3 hits or IMDB stands alone, when you have to search for the original title name. Try searching with the English, and it can be next to impossible to get hits with IMDB, Amazon, and my other favorite, DVD Empire (with its large cover jpegs). I love spaghetti westerns and martial arts films, and IMDB lists them usually with their original titles (either Italian or Chinese). There is a big 'ol bump in the road with dual- named titles for my most cherished database, IMDB. It tends to be easy to manage and update, if you want to add some info. Much more detail, more comprehensive, IMHO. Not exactly satisfied (although I had intended to purchase DVDpedia, sorry), I checked Movie Collector. ![]() if you have over 20 or so, there's quite alot of stuff to work with. It's a chore with the amount of disks one has. Look no further.I am in the market for a good and comprehensive movie cataloging app with all these DVDs I've been getting.Īt first, I tried DVDPedia, but the things it seemed like I needed to do were just too much. If you’ve got a collection of movies, no matter how big, this is the app for you. Their support is terrific and I seldom wait more than 24 hours for an answer. They routinely upgrade the app, adding nice new features. I usually change the image related to the movie to an actual movie poster for the film and the app accommodates this nicely. I use both the iOS app and the Windows version. When I watch one, I record the viewing date so I can avoid “getting in a rut” and watching the same ones over and over. I now have close to 2,500 movies and after all these years I have no complaints. As they were entered, the app accessed their extensive movie database and filled in ALL the details. It took a couple of weekends, but it was faster than anything else. ![]() When I first started using it, I had around 1,500 movies and nothing could have entered them faster. Early on, there was a separate app that interface very nicely with CLZ Movies to do that, but that capability has long since been incorporated right into the main app. An initial selling point was the ability to input movies using the bar code. I discovered CLZ Movies about 6-7 years ago. Over the years, I’ve tried several different programs and apps to keep track of them. I’ve been a movie collector since the days of Laser Discs.
