What do you use to keep track of your collection? - Blu-ray Forum

Sorry, I looked everywhere to find a thread that I seen before telling of a good place to keep a record of your Blu's and cant find it. Just need someone to help me quick.

www.dvdspot.com, it's free, and you'll love it.

Thanks a ton!

I didn't see the need to use anything other than an Excel spreadsheet. I have one page that lists: Number (1 to whatever), Title, Studio, Video Codec, Aspect Ratio, and Rating (per Blu-Ray.com or Highdefdigest.com).

On the 2nd page I just list: Number and Title. I enter a movie like The Rock under "R", and enter it as "Rock, The". I also then have a column that indicates who I loaned the title to (or if I shipped it off to be replaced).

So far it is working for me. I have 64 titles as of today.

I really like how DVDspot gives the picture of the movie and all the specifics with it..ie running time, rating. It really looks good I think.

One possible use is to share it with friends and family. That way, if they ever want to buy me a movie, they know what I have so they don't order something I already own.

I used to use DVD Profiler but I guess they are charging now. It's a nice software but I guess I'll try out DVD Spot now.

That's what I do as well.

I have it for my collection and for the review comparison sheet that I was tracking until 10/30/07

I keep a print out of my DVDspot in my pocket when I go out. Help keeps track of what I have and don't.

You may be missing some of the numbers. The first number may be in a smaller font and the last number too.

Been using Invelos DVD Profiler for years now and as of lately trying to work out the kinks of phpmyprofiler to customize it

Smallville206 · 01-25-2008, 07:23 AM

Like most people on here, dvdspot.

moviefan · 01-25-2008, 12:29 PM

I use 2 Excel spreadsheets, one for DVDs (324)and 1 for Blu-Ray(55).
I have columns for title, aspect ratio, actors, run time, genre ane my rating (1-5).
Titles in bold have not yet been watched.
It will automatically sort by title to make finding a title easy.
I may try dvd Dpot anyway.

I'm a nerd who created my own MS Access database to maintain my films... but it just lacks any pizazz, as it were. Additionally, Access is a real memory hog...

Thanks to all who shared "dvdspot". I think I'll be trying that out tonight!!!!
