Hi guys! Just want to know what movie organizer/catalog you use to keep track of your movie collection. I tried Movienizer and it was great. But since they recently upgraded and you need to pay for for a a registered copy, I switched to Personal Video Database. It's free and good as well. Not as good as Movienizer but perfect for a freeware. :)
Are there any suggestions of other good organizers out there?
-
I just use Internet Movie Database (http://www.imdb.com/). Nothing fancy but gets the work done! ;)
-
Look for EMDB. E stands for Eric, the developer of the software. It's free, but if you want to change the E to suit your name, you'll have to pay. It's a nice program.
-
Hello guys sorry to ask this but what is a movie organizer? how does this work?

It's just a catalogue of your movie collection.

I downloaded Movie Collector Pro but I don't have the time yet to list my disks into it.
-
For my blu-ray titles, I use blu-ray.com...
-
I got a free software with some features that are useful. Drag and drop lang yung movie then kukuha na info sa IMDB.

OK sana yung mga programs na may link sa imdb, pero you still have to change some information. R1 information lang kasi ang nakalagay doon usually. Pag R3 na, babaguhin mo na, like language, subtitles, etc.

For me it's just ok kasi puro mkv file naman ang collection ko. Kesa ilalagay ko pa sa excel eh eto puwede export para may soft copy ako. Nakikita din ang country of origin ng movie sa software na gamit ko.

Medyo matagal nga lang mag-gather ng information from imdb.
-
mine i use Collectorz and Movienizer....
-
Have already listed 20% of my orig collection to Movie Collector Pro (Collectorz). Since the file was "downloaded" via bittorent, there are some 'hiccups' with the app. As sson as I'm done listing my collection, I will download the paid version to get full use of the features especially the export to iphone.
-
Recently downloaded the moviekeeper app to try it out...
Good: You can customize almost everything so I can categorize the BDs which country it came from, when did I buy it, what is it's packaging (steelbook, digibook...)
BAD: Need to manually enter movie details, ie. runtime, director, rating, cover
Anyone who can recommend a similar app without the manual entry of movie details?
-
Now using Netwalk Movies app and I'm satisfied. I can now browse thru my BD collection by packaging ;D
-
Doing the Manual Excel list for the meantime
-
mine was DVDafficionado
-
xmbc ok naman
-
Open Office Calc ;D

I'm using a DVD database software "DVD Profiler" to keep track of my current movie collection. It's very convenient, fast & easy to use. You can keep track both off-line & online. In future it will save you lots of time in checking & searching your whole collection. It's convenient & prevent headaches. Here are some actual screen shots taken from my profile:

You can also customize the look & apperance. Here's a different layout.

For more info on DVD Profiler:
http://www.invelos.com/
You can also upload your database to the Invelos server so that in case if any thing happen to your existing data, you can easily access & download your database to your computer or in the event you're using more than one computer then your second computer can download & sync with the info.
This database software is great way to protect & keep track all our beloved movie collections data. :)

With the DVD Profiler you can easily print out charts/graphs and also reports! :o
With report you can keep track your movie inventory & it has so many different report formats to choose from. As for the chart, it gives you statistic on your collection base on genre, studio, etc it's easy to see where your collection has the most number of movies. :)
Here are some samples:

Tried using DVD Profiler, maganda nga sya!!! Very easy to use. Kaya lang, you still need to purchase the registration key to fully utilize the program. Sir PChin, ask ko lang, meron ba crack yung software nila? So that I can maximize the use of their program without purchasing the reg key...hehehe ;D

mine can't generate a report based on region code...

Not exactly region code, under the charts & graphs, select "Country of Origin". There it will list out your entire movie collections, the quantity from respective country. Alternatively, try searching the "report templates" & see if any fit your requirement. otherwise, you may want to customize your own report.
Another way, you can start a separate database: one for each different region. In this way you can print out your report base on the region you wanted.

This I can't do. I usually add new acquisitions as Region 1 'cos of the more complete info & better cover scan quality they have. If the title I got is R3, I just change the region in the 'disc info' tab from R1 to R3; therefore it is still recorded as US as its country of origin. That's why up until now, I have no idea how many titles for each region(1, 2 or 3) I have (p.s. I have around 1,050+ titles).
I have no idea how to customize hehe

Assuming you have 100 DVD R3. You open a new database for all your R3 collection. You can still add new acquisitions using R1 cos of the more complete info & better cover scan quality, etc...but you can change disc info tab from R1 to R3 (tho not necessary) as you can easily just rename your database to DVD Collection R3 in order to be distinct. So, if you wana print out report on your R3 then you will just open your R3 database. ;)
So assuming you have DVD from 3 different regions, then setup 3 separate databases to keep track of each region...in this way you'll know the exact number of DVD you have for each region.
-
Oh you have over 1,000 titles pala so forget about my earlier suggestion kc it's impractical to setup new database as it will consume lots of time (tho there is a short cut). :)
Here's another easier way. I presume you have already entered all the titles into your program i.e. your database has over 1,000 titles. I also presume each DVD title you have specified what region it belongs too i.e. under General Information tab > Basic Information > Regions.
Now, to know your total DVD for each specific region you need to go to "Filters" tab below the screen (middle of "Collection List" & "Set Tags"). Inside Filters tab > General > Region (specify which region you want).
Then go back to your "Collection List" page & it will display all the DVD region you have just specified. You will know exactly how many DVDs you have. Problem solved! ;)

Yup, basically my dilemna. Too many to re-input.

cross-posting:
Just discovered an iPhone app for this.
It's called iCollectMovies (http://www.icollectmedia.com/). You get to back up the data in your iPhone to the web, just in case.
The great thing about it is that you just scan the bar code of the DVD and it will automatically fetch the data. Not 100% though, siguro 50-60% lang ang success rate. I noticed this to be so especially in C-Interactive and Viva DVDs. Dunno the technology for the bar codes, so I'm guessing it's not the same for every region. My theory is the support is mostly for US bar codes.
If the barcode thing doesn't work, you can search through the database.
