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 v6.1 Build 1?:
Screen Fonts:
* Movie Collector screens look much better, because they now use
the Windows system font (Segui on Vista, Tahoma on XP)
* Don't like it? Then use Tools/ Options / Screen Font to choose
your own font for all screens.
* Want larger fonts for your lists? Just use Ctrl-PLUS and
Ctrl-MINUS to increase/decrease the main screen font size (or
View / Font Size).
Add Movies Automatically:
* Improved Region Filter, now handles Blu-Ray A/B/C regions
correctly
Fixed:
* Opticon scanner was not detected correctly on some systems
* Add/Update Automatically:
* Update Automatically: Series entries were falsely marked as
updated in some cases
* Update Selected: updating selected movies from the main
screen could result in an Access Violation
* Link Movies would cause an Access Violation in folder mode
* Add Anyway: adding a movie that already existed in the
database could result in an Access Violation
* Update selected added the movie instead of updating it
* Edit Movie:
* Duplicate entries in lookup list weren't handled properly
Languages:
* Updated German language support, thanks Klaus Elsbernd!
* Updated Polish language support, thanks Lukasz Jakubowski!
