DVD Collection Software
I wanted to find some software to help organise my DVD collection.
At first I thought there was only a few, but I soon discovered that there are quite a few…
Commercial
- Delicious Library (Mac OS X Only)
- DVD Profiler
- MediaMan
- DVDpedia (Mac OS X Only)
- Movie Collector
- AllMyMovies
- EasyMovieOrganizer
- GoToMyCollection
- Disk Catalog
- ReaderWare
Free

- Libra
- XMM
- CD Collect
- Movie Catalog
- CruchyMedia
- Coolector
- Movienizer
- PVD/VideoDB
- VCDdb

- Camel Disc Catalog
- EMDB
Web
Firstly I intend to find one I like and use it to organise my DVD collection. My favourite so far is DVD Profiler, however once you get to 50 DVDs, you must pay to add more. I easily have over 100.
I didn’t really like many of the free or open source ones and some didn’t seem to even work correctly, however, I have no intention of paying for something that really should be free.
As you can probably see, there are a few entries in Wikipedia, so eventually I may palatially port this list to Wikipedia.
Let me know if you find this useful and let me know how you get on with the software.
Thanks.

I played with Delicious Library but that does two things you don’t want – commercial and Mac! But the problem with this (as with anything new, now), is that it would take me ages to input all my DVDs in to it. A site I have been using though is http://listal.com (http://trovster.listal.com) which like Delicious Library supports other formats not just DVD, which includes Games and CDs – both of which are useful to me. Listal also has a social aspect to it, although I rarely use it, which could be useful to find music/movies which are similar to your tastes.
Thanks Trevor, that’s very useful, pretty much exactly what I’m after based on your description.
I will check it out later today.
Thanks again.
PS, I found there was a way to import to listal from Delicious Library, IMDB my movies and DVD Profiler. Which is nice.
