Movie Collector is a program that helps you catalog your

collection of DVDs, VHS tapes, laserdiscs, etc… This organizer

software runs on Windows 95, 98, NT4, ME, XP and 2000.

Catalog your movie collection

Adding items to the movie database is quick and easy, just type

the movie title or scan the DVD barcode with your barcode

scanner. Movie Collector will automatically download all data

(director, producer, genre, studio, etc… including an actor

list and the cover images). The information is retrieved from

various movie database sites on the internet (like the Internet

Movie Database, the Amazon DVD catalog or DVD Empire).

View and search the movie database

Once you have added a number of DVDs to the inventory, you can

view it on the main screen. It is possible to show a simple list

of all movies, but you can also organize your collection by

genre, director or actor, etc.. using the automatic folder

feature. All lists can be sorted instantly, just by clicking the

column headers or by using the Sort Order screen. You can sort on

any field, e.g. alphabetically on title or label, or sorted on

release date or purchase date. Use the Quick Search feature to

find all movies that contain the word you type, or use the

Advanced Filter command to search in specific fields, even

multiple fields at once.

Print lists

Lists of your movies can be printed in any way you want. The

Print feature lets you choose which movies to print, which fields

to show and in what order to list them. Printed lists are ideal

for insurance purposes, or to take with you to the store. The Pro

edition of this program also includes a number of templates for

other nicely formatted print-outs. The flexible XML/XSL-based

template system lets you create your own layouts too (requires

XSL programming skills). Visit our Templates page to download

templates created by other users.

Export your movie catalog (Pro edition only)

Using the Export to HTML feature you can generate HTML pages of

your movie inventory, for use on your homepage or website. You

can create one index page listing all movies (with one row per

movie), optionally linked to detail pages with one page per DVD.

If you want to be able to use your movie data in other programs,

use the Export to XML or Export to Text functions. A special

export feature is included to export your database for use in the

ListPro software on your PDA (PocketPC or Palm).

Integrated Loan Manager (Pro edition only)

The built-in Loan Management system allows you to keep track of

DVDs you loan to friends, family, etc… Just log which DVD you

loaned and to whom and you will always know where your missing

DVDs are.

Whats New In v6.0 Build 1?:

New Add Movies Automatically screen:

– Now uses ONLY the (improved) Collectorz.com online movie

database for movie information, DVD details and cover images

(For clarity: it will NOT use IMDb anymore, or Amazon, DVD

Empire, Adult or Gay DVD Empire, SendIt, DVD-Shop, Atlantic DVD

or DVD FR.)

– The new “single source” screen replaces both the Wizard and

Advanced Mode screens and makes it much easier and quicker to

add movies, just search, select your result (once) and click

Add.

– Or: select multiple results and add multiple movies from one

search (e.g.: search for “die hard”, select 4 movies and click

Add to add em all)

– Hide / Show Search Queue button to switch between “Search Now”

and “Add to Queue” mode

– Edit searches in Queue with new Edit Search Criteria screen

(right-click menu).

(This replaces the confusing Update in Queue system)

– New “Add Anyway” button to add a movie anyway when no results

are found, automatically using the Barcode or Title you already

entered for the search.

– New multi-column Search Results panel, with separate Title,

Year, Barcode, Region, Cover Yes/No columns

– New “New Releases” tab page, showing the latest DVD and Blu-Ray

releases, just select one (or more!) and click Add.

– New “Most Popular” tab page, showing last week’s most popular

movies, including theatrical releases. Select and Add, no

searching needed.

Improved Collectorz.com source:

– Now delivers larger cover images (600px high instead of 400px)

– Highly improved barcode coverage because the Collectorz.com

server now uses Amazon “on the back-end” to get data and images

for barcodes that are not recognized using its own database.

– Now delivers more edition specific front covers, because in

case the Collectorz.com database misses the front cover, it

automatically gives you the cover available at Amazon.

– Further improvements to the Region 1 barcode coverage because

the server automatically uses hometheatherinfo.com’s excellent

Region 1 DVD List for barcodes that are not recognized using

the Collectorz.com database or Amazon.

– Delivered movie data now includes IMDb Number, IMDb link and

Amazon link

– Improved performance: upgraded server hardware makes searches

lightning fast.
