Who keeps two or more lists of their movie collection and what do you use for it? - Blu-ray Forum

fyreant · 07-21-2012, 01:11 PM

I was reading the past news about the site database data loss a few weeks back and that got me thinking, who has redundant collection lists? I run two lists myself, one being the one here on the site, and another one through an iPhone app called "my movies for iPhone Pro" made by a company called Binnerup Consult. Whenever I get new Blus I scan barcodes into both programs. Interestingly enough though my Blu-Ray.com collection is actually showing a count of two more movies than what I actually have. I may need to delete them all and readd them to find the inconsistency. Back to the subject though, do you run two lists and if so, what do you use?

I do keep two lists.

My main list in EMDB, a program I downloaded which, if you have never seen it, is a digital movie shelf. Add the movies, Blu or DVD, seen it or not, personal rating, descriptions, etc. I use this when I have company over. It's easier to launch the program and let them go through than standing at my real shelf and describing each one to them.

My second list is on here of course. This is my backup in case I get robbed and my computer is taken. That way I'll know what movies to submit to insurance.

#1. A simple .txt document on my computer.

#2. This sites database.

I keep the BD list here and then I keep a list of all of my movies on DVD Profilier (link in my signature).

My iPhone app has the same features too. They actually have a program for your desktop and a webpage I can go on to see my collection similar to our collections here. Funny, i keep two lists for insuance reasons as well

You pretty much have to keep track for this reason. My blu-ray collection is probably the most expensive thing I own at this point. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

My Movies, iPad app.

And this site.

Pretty sure thats the same one I use but I use the cheaper iPhone version on my iPad. $10 for the iPad version seemed like a lot to me at the time..

GaragePoet · 07-21-2012, 01:49 PM

damn. i never did before, but now this thread makes me think that i should...

philzilla · 07-21-2012, 01:52 PM

I don't keep any list
maybe I should

Exist2Inspire · 07-21-2012, 02:39 PM

My desktop runs a Movie Application that I created, which I've made to send a monthly listing to my Insurance Company so they have a copy of it as well.

I wrote a mobile version of the application that syncs with the desktop and stored directly on my phone so I don't waste my data plan calling my server (500MB sucks!)

And I use this site, though I really have to go through and update it, it's a bit behind now.

Toasterlad · 07-21-2012, 02:42 PM

I use this site, and I also keep a list on an Excel spreadheet, with a macro to select a random movie to watch whenever I don't have a particular movie in mind.

Interesting.. Your insurance co gave you an email addy to just send your movie list to? How does that work out?

TJS_Blu · 07-21-2012, 02:55 PM

This site for 3 reasons. 1-the deals on my wish list titles & 2-so other b-r.com members can ask a question about a particular title or use as they see fit. 3-use the mobile feature to make sure I don't buy a 'bargain' that I already have.

Secondly, I use 'Movienizer' for it's Db functionality. I can see all the films from a specific year, or all the films with a certain director, actor, writer, producer, composer, etc.

#Darren · 07-21-2012, 02:57 PM

I keep a manually written list. More reliable than any other options.

GuyIncognito · 07-21-2012, 03:08 PM

What is this app version that I keep seeing people write about? I have an Android phone and would be quite interested in being able to simply scan a new blu-ray that adds it to my database

Same for me! Except I use an OpenOffice document in order to have columns and page breaks to separate DVD, blu-ray, HD-DVD

Vw Driver · 07-21-2012, 03:09 PM

I use an iphone app called "I Collect Movies Pro", they also link to an online database so I can back up my list there too. And ofcourse i got the bluray.com app which I use too.

sk33tr · 07-21-2012, 03:17 PM

i use this site.

i use the my movies pro app for iphone.

i use the blu-ray.com my movies app for iphone (which syncs with the site).

i also used to use dvd profiler, but i'm having issues with it (as are many, many others) so i really don't like to even open it.

i use game collector for my games. as far as i know they don't have an app for smart devices yet so it's only for computers, but it's cool to have something to keep track of them.
