Good tool to organize the movies I have. But I still don’t know how I can put “Location” and “Disc #” fields on the General tab page.
I saw those fields in the tutorial video, but not in this one I just installed. Did I miss any step?

here’s a cheer up to the developer: this program is way better than the ratings indicate. people who dont have a use for it give it an instant thumbs down, but i think they don’t have a large enough movie / anime collection to see the usefulness of this software.

thanks for the offer!

Windows XP Pro SP2 all hotfixes, Pentium Centrino 1.6, 512MB ram

Upon launch of programme eats 100% cpu and hangs…

Tried 3 times. Guess this is for a more powerful system.

Fortunately I have Process Lasso and was able to end the programme, without it I would have been forced to shut down in a bad way!

Thanks GOTD – Regards, Damian

This is great, I finally found something to get the movie information easily, especially the MPAA ratings. I have several collected movies, but every time we need to select one when my kids would also watch, it was a big pain to find the one that is acceptable for them. The similar feature in XBMC wouldn’t always work (besides being slow) and wouldn’t show the MPAA ratings. Thanks gotd!

Great program if your movie files are organized.

This is a great program but it required a lot of work on my part. I picked a folder for it to search for movies and it recognized several but I spent almost 2 hours teaching the program what movies they were. If it doesn’t know what movie it is, approximately 70% to 80% of the time it suggests a list of movies it thinks you might have and then you select the right one. The other 30% to 20% it will say something like, ‘We don’t recognize that movie, click skip or pick another script. (but there is no option on that screen to select another script.)

I had a lot of youtube videos in that folder so I spent a lot of time telling the program to ignore that file so it would be nice if it had the option to ‘Ignore .flv Files’

There were some movies that it did not recognize that are very popular so that really puzzled me. Some movies I had ripped and the app that ripped it put something in the file title like ‘Cool Hand Luke Title 1′ That seemed to confuse the program somewhat.

Once you have finished teaching the program what movies you have, it becomes very cool tool. I recommend it although it could improve. There are music apps that recognize the music by reading it digitally. There are even apps that will tell you the name and artist of a song by holding your iphone up to the speaker. That technology should be created for programs like this.

I recommend prior to using this, making sure your movie files have the exact name and the year in parenthesis with nothing else (like the codecs or anything else your ripping programs put in there. Also, make sure there is nothing in that folder but movies you want it to analyze and put in your database.

Installed and activated ok on Win XP SP3

Upon loading the 2nd time I kept getting a “database needs to be updated message”
then this error “couldn’t prepare the database for the new version of the program”, saying yes or no still causes this error popup.
It didn’t quit until I loaded the database file I created.

Add a short wait time for the script popup message before the main menu comes up if it’s a must that it has to come up at load time.

Add ability for the built in movie player to actually play movies.
I tried several types and none of them worked although the same files work in my flash player, windows media player, etc.

Add ability for DVD lists AND VCR tape list, most people do have a lot of VCR Tapes sitting around

Thanks to Maniac Tools and the GAOTD team for sharing

I have just downloaded and started the software with no difficulties on Vista OS. Once a file is added a simple click on the format button opens up options for Blu-ray etc.. I access IMDB a lot and this software will save me a lot of time. I have several hundred movie files on my PC and once loaded into the program I don’t have to hunt for the file. Click and play, very useful piece of software.

Installed easily on Vista 32. Imported large database from Movie Collector without problem.

No preview when getting information from the internet making it difficult to choose correct movie to download. Once you choose a movie the information is downloaded and if it is for the wrong movie and you press cancel, instead of save, the information is saved any way.

Easy intuitive design. Lots of information. It is similar to, but better than, Movie Collecter 5.6. Harder to customize display, not for the novice.

The program installed & activated okay (WinXP). But there is no option for entering “Disc #” and “Location” — as is shown in the tutorial on the website. In my version, that area is blank. It’s nice the way the program sucks all the info off the internet, but my main purpose in having a database is to be able to locate the disc itself. While it’s possible to search for disc # and Location, I can’t find any way to enter that information in the first place.
