I use DVD Profiler for my DVDs. I'd imagine it would work for Blu Rays as well.

Question...what would be the point of doing this? Just curious...or maybe I"m not understanding what this does...

au_Spider · 03-05-2008, 10:35 PM

Makes it easy to see what title you have,

Bango · 03-05-2008, 10:37 PM

I mean...is this some sort of software to organize your collection? Like instead of let's say sorting them alphabetically, just number them and makes it easier to find? (if you have a huge collection of DVDs Blu-Rays)?

I made a great Access 2007 database for this, but you have to enter everything manually. The best part is the report that is nothing more than thumbnails of the covers. My wife and I use that to flip through and determine which movie we want to watch. But it doesn't make it easier to find them on the shelf. It just makes it easier to sit on the couch and glance through your collection.

Organizes them (not sure if it's by # per se), but looks pretty standard. Put in the UPC off the back and it'll automatically catalogue it for you. Even has a place to keep track of ones you've loaned out (if you're foolish enough to do so

)

Might have to check this one out. I have no idea what I have anymore.

I and a lot of other people on this forum use Invelos DVD Profiler. You can enter the UPC and it'll catalog it automatically with all the technical specs. You can track what you own, what you've ordered, what you want and what you've loaned. This is useful, for example, to ensure you don't accidentally buy a duplicate title during the 17 weeks it takes to fulfill the holiday Blu-ray rebate offer.

A couple of features I like:

You can post your collection to the web. I use this so that when I have a movie party my friends can look at the list beforehand and decide what they want to watch. Click the link in my sig to see what it looks like.
You can filter your list by almost any criterion you want. One that I use a lot is run time, e.g., what can I watch if I have only two hours to kill?

(I also tried DVD Spot but found the interface to be a little clunky.)

hmm. Something like this for the PC would be great.

Dickn52 · 03-06-2008, 11:33 PM

http://www.collectorz.com/ works by simply saving a different database called Blu, or anything you like.

Bango · 03-06-2008, 11:38 PM

Hmm I like this idea...I think i'll definately look into it.

ryoohki · 03-07-2008, 12:29 AM

That's about as much of a clone of Delicious Library as I'm a clone of Brad Pitt.

I've never seen a PC 'clone' of a Mac app work anywhere near as well as the original app - a programmer without enough style and creativity to create their own intuitive interface never seems to pick up the subtleties of the app that made it so good in the first place.

I had this experience with a Twitterrific 'clone' on Windows that looked superficially very close, but didn't display tooltips when I moved the mouse over a tweet, and I couldn't drag tweets to the desktop to create HTML shortcuts. The list of missing features went on and on... but it looked convincing in a screenshot on a web page!

I haven't "bought" the program yet, but it will work with up to your first 50 titles (as a trial version) and I like it a lot. Will probably buy this when I hit my 50.

Well it will work behond that too.. but you'll loose 70% of the fonctionnality. It tought 30$ for life was nice. Even Chinese release are there so it's nice

Oh yeah, it seems totally worth it.

Heck, it seems almost worth it just so the screenshots of the cases become high-res. Not liking the blurry look, but I'll deal with it while I try it all out.
