Someone pasted a link to their DVD collection today on IRC, turns out they used a on-line service called DVD Profiler.
It is a windows app that has a ad supported freeware version with the option to pay $20 registration to remove them. You enter DVD’s into the system by bar-code and it has a database of bar-codes, you can also search based on title and so forth. It can sync with their on-line database and store your profile there for a convenient off-site backup and you can view your DVD list on-line, mine can be seen here.
It supports maintaining a wishlist, various filtered searches and can run a number of reports on your DVD collection. For each DVD there are reviews, cover images, zone and special feature information. The data are however user contributed so some of it is incomplete etc.
The UI isn’t 100% perfect but so far this is a great service, I can only wish they would extend it to support audio CD’s as well.
NOTE: This is a static archive of an old blog, no interactions like search or categories are current.
