I'd recommend DVDaficionado (http://www.dvdaficionado.com) and DVDProfiler over DVDtracker since they're free. DVDgurl is one of the lucky few who can afford to use DVDTracker.

DVDAficionado (http://www.dvdaficionado.com/) is down! Anybody know what's happening?
ms excel 2000
but if I had enough DVD's
I would catalog them by director
(and if I have even more time I would arrange them chronologically)
How about autobiographically?... ;D
Come again ? Autobiographically ? How can you catalog your DVDs according to your 'life story' ?
:(

I'm tinkering with a freeware program Ant Movie Catalog 3 (http://www.antp.be/index.php?l=uk&z=5&c=3&s=1). Anybody who tried this already?
I also use dvdaficionado. How can I install it in my Palm M125? Free download? Thanks!
I use DVDaficionado. Anyway, can someone help me out? I don't know how to create subfolders. Thanks.
Same here, DVD Profiler for me too. And the new version has many additional features.

Is it for free or do you have to buy it?
thanks ;)
Just MS-Excel for me
Yeah it free, just download it from the web. But for premium service you have to pay a membership fee, but honestly the value added services is not necessary, like the higher resolution DVD cover feature for premium members, you can get the covers from a different source anyway and better you can scan it yourself.

I also use dvdaficionado. How can I install it in my Palm M125? Free download? Thanks!
I use MediaMan for storing the titles that I have in my Palm. It can be downloaded for free. Check mo na lang yung thread regarding Free Palmwares sa Tech Talk.
Hope this helps. Good luck! ;)
I use DVDAficionado but also trying out DVDProfiler. I also have an Excel File to monitor the acquisition costs. ;D
can't dvd profiler do that for ya? i know there is an entry for purchase price... i use that kasi to keep track how much i paid for what... then use the report feature to see much i've actually spent... may automatic currency adjuster pa nga eh. ;D
has anyone tried uploading Pinoy Dvds on DVD Profiler? Since I got a few local DVDs (3 :)), only Muro-Ami was available.
author=Mr. Big Boy link=board=28;threadid=468;start=#msg267102 date=1066980686]hi Mr. Big Boy!
Why are some titles like Forest Gump can't be recognize by DVD Profiler? ???
hi Mr. Big Boy!
check out your spelling. Forest Gump is spelled as Forrest Gump, with a double r ;)
I also had the same problem adding my Seven Platinum Series DVD coz I was trying to search for 'Seven'. When i tried Se7en, with a 7 in the middle, it worked! ;D
Also, when adding new released titles, make sure you click on the'Refresh Online List from IVS' button to update the title list.
Hope this helps! :D
ano ba ito... it's been almost 4 days... baka naman they are upgrading their systems! i still can't to upload my collection. >:(same here! nag iisip na nga ako pano imigrate itong DVD Profiler collection ko to other sites like DVD Aficionado e. pwede ba? ??? ::)
Sana wag magsara. I hope hindi nila gawing fully pay service yung DVD Profiler.
BTW, do you guys contribute?
All the time. I've never invented a UPC code, though. Among all the local Tagalog titles I've contributed, only TANGING YAMAN was accepted, and I still don't know why - I didn't do anything differently.
Not a big surprise, you'll find a HUGE number of "TV Series on DVD" titles were submitted by me. ;D
but isn't UPC code required?
wala na akong oras e catalog pa... hanapin konalang! ;D
Guys good news, DVD Profiler is back on line! Tried updating & it worked na.
yup. but only their update servers are up. the website and myprofiler are still down. ;D
i just checked now and they are up already :D
the website's up... but i can't seem to contribute or see my collection online... i guess hindi pa rin 100% up. :P
the website's up... but i can't seem to contribute or see my collection online... i guess hindi pa rin 100% up. :P
oo nga ano...
i thought it was 100% up na since i was able to update my dvds na...
baka yung kay viper yung paid version ng dvdprofiler kaya he can see his collection na ::)
oh well...
antay nalang tayo... :-\ :-\
After going up for a few days, down na naman yung DVDProfiler site. I cannot append my new purchases to my list! :( :(
Guys, is there a freeware that I can use to catalog my DVDs using a PC that is not connected to the Net? THanks!

Of course, Excel! Hehe. But I tried DVDAficionado and it seems OK. Can't see myself updating all that often since, let's face it, it's hard to fit DVDs into my budget.
am using dvd profiler for quite some time now, but I've been having problems using it lately... Ni hindi ko ma download ung mga dvds ko!
Have a similar problem when uploading to dvdprofiler.. an error prompt appears saying there's a newer version of the file available, but as of now I'm pretty sure the newer one is available only to premium (read: paying) registrants :-\
cherubrock, there is a newer version of Profiler and its for the "non-payers." You just need to go to intervocative and download it for free. Had the same problem but was immediately remedied after I got the newer 2.3.1 version.
Thanks, I'll be doing that now ;)any news cherubrock on version 2.3.1? I tried downloading it, pero same problem as before di ko pa rin ma-download dvd list ko :( Same error "An error occured importing this profile"... Kakainis >:(

guys instead of downloading your lists from the net... there is a backup function within dvdprofiler itself.
before i upgraded... i backed-up my list to a dpb file. it will save EVERYTHING... notes, prices bought, dates, etc. etc. even covers. (which is handy if you scan your own covers para mas hi-res.) just make sure you u check both "include cover scans" & "full user database"...
you can now uninstall the old verion then run a fresh installation of the new one. once done... just "restore" your list using the "restore function"... it's really easy... quick too. ;)
and the only internet time you'll need is to download the installer and update the database. ;)
Downloaded and installed the newer version, and my problem before was solved! I do have some problems with some titles that have script error messages on the "Sundance" skin, but other than that, it's been working just fine.. Hope you remedy your problem soon! ;)
Hi SPiFF! Musta na? Like jeckjeck, mine just installed over the new one, and it works fine. But if that doesn't work out for some, couldn't they just upload their existing collections, uninstall the previous version, download and install the new version, and download his online collection from the site? Hmm.. binabasa ko pa lang parang mas complicated nga, hehe.. ;D
What is your recommended DVD Listing application for PDAs?
I use dvdspot.com[url].. it's fairly easy to use and you can track your dvds online...
you can catalog your dvds according to what you own.. what you've watched.. wishlists..ordered lists.. loaned dvds...
in your front page, you can even see how much is the retail value of your dvds and compare to how much you actually paid for them (tho you have to convert to dollars)
it also has stats on which director is on most of your dvds etc...
try it!!!!!!!!
(http://dvdspot.com/)
I use dvdspot.com (http://dvdspot.com)..
can it import any existing database?
Any suggested application for a mac user like me? DVD Profiler works fine in my compaq notebook but I don't have a counterpart application for my mac. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
You can use Delicious Library 2 http://delicious-monster.com (http://delicious-monster.com), been using it since version 1.5. You can scan your dvd UPC code to a webcam, it will fetch the info directly from Amazon. Problem lang if your dvd is local, you have to type the title para search ng delicious library the correct dvd info. No problems with warner dvd R3, scanner works fine. Medyo expensive nga lang around $40, pero if you have a massive library sobrang useful to. They're developing an iphone app para pwede mo na rin dalhin library mo anywhere.
Kahit books, apparel, toys, gadget, videogames, cd's kasama sa app. You can also add your friends para ma-track mo mga borrowers. Integrated na rin to your ical para ma-remind ka if it's overdue already.
Here's the screenshot of my library:

Excel ;D
Wow this is a nice thread. Am old-school so I've been using Excel as a simple log-sheet with five vertical columns - Title/Region/Source/Ownership/Price. Sobrang simple lang but it works for me.
