#91 - Thanks for the suggestion, Suzanne. I downloaded Ant Movie after I fell for the upgrade message on All My Movies. The user interface isn't quite as polished, but I like the scripting capabilities to pull from web services of your choice and the search results returned from a lookup. I'm just glad I did not spend too much time developing my library in All My Movies! I feel bad for the users who purchased the previous version of All My Movies and ran the suggested upgrade. Though it is always defined in the readme.txt that there are no free upgrades to future versions, I guess this behaved more like an update or patch than an installation of a new version. It would also have been nice to be notified that the previous version would be removed when trying the "upgrade."
Please know that above my comments are directed to the publisher of the software and GAOTD. I think GAOTH has been doing a fine job recently in choosing a good variety of software to make available for free download (since they got away from all the video converters).

I liked this program so much, I acquired a cuecat to scan in my DVD collection. Tonight, I started the program and it prompted me to install a required update. I installed the update, but now the program is no longer a full-version. It states it is a trial version that will expire in 30-days. I think this is a very unfortunate bait-and-switch. I uninstalled the program and will avoid anything from this publisher in the future.

@93, Charles Adair...
as stated in the "readme.txt" from this giveaway:
Terms and conditions
Please note that the software you download and install during
the Giveaway period comes with the following important limitations:
1) No free technical support
2) No free upgrades to future versions
3) Strictly non-commercial usage
the GOTD Terms and Conditions state that there are no upgrades for every giveaway, both on the front (download/comment) page, & in the "readme.txt"...
unfortunately, some programs are set to check for updates automatically...if that function is not disabled, people often update when notified & lose the free, full version...
there have been exceptions to the rules made by the developers of some programs, "RecentX" being a good example...the developer heard reports of problems, & made a very generous offer...
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3304
other developers have given tech support or free upgrades...
you can try writing to the developer...can't hurt...
it's not a trick...the free, full version just shouldn't have been updated...
sorry to hear of your problem...this developer has given away a couple of items on GOTD...maybe this one will get a rerun...or you can purchase it from the Bolide Software website...occasionally, developers will give a discount to GOTD community members............again, can't hurt to try...
good luck...

Just a suggestion but the software being offered are pretty much the same it gets redundant and am sure you guys have noticed that activity has lessened,you guys might want to spread the range of software to stuff like pdf editting software/ adobe etc...as opposed to the constant recycled mash of media converters/ file and picture managers and dvd copiers. This is constructive critiscm only.

Works pretty good for me. I like that it can populate automatically if the information is available. But the code or rather the interface reminds me of the MS SDK that does this. But it is much better than the raw SDK they supplied. I like that it uses it's own file for a database instead of the need for SQL. I'll give it a thumbs up for usefulness and ease of use.
Save | Cancel
This is way cool! Works well on Vista ultimate.
I built something like this in an Access database many years ago (before IMDB). It's a real pain typing in all of the actor information, plot synopsis, etc. Not to mention scanning in all of the cover art. This one's a winner and a keeper!

#2 - Good idea, I liked the idea of being able to have one program for music, movies and books. But I just tried it and it crashes like crazy when you're trying to add an item via the search. That product will need some maturity. All My Movies works similarly and doesn't crash.

I am sorry that I could not get the free office suite offered without having to send back cds that I did not wantand could not afford to send back. Free offeres that are not really free are a drain on the pocketbook, like Video Professor that does not tell you that your free cd costs approximately ninty dollars. This free office suite is the same kind of fraud Video Professor offfers. NO, THANK YOU to FRAUD.

Thanks anyway. I found the look up very inaccurate. It either gave me a choice of a dozen movies or the wrong movie. It did actually work as hopped for a few. There was one here a few months ago that was slower to use, but at least the data was more accurate.

First look is good. But I can't create groups to organize my disks. I have hundreds of DVD and all they will be in straight list? It is also not very handy for disks with several MPEG4 movies. So I will still use Camel Disc Catalog as universal disk organizer.

A good try but when it locks up (and it does), you have to kill it from the task manager - it just beeps loudly when you try anything else.

Re #8's question. I have over 500 DVD's and use MediaMan to catalog them. I type in the name and it searches Amazon for them and comes back with the info. If it doesn't find it in Amazon.com, I can choose amazon.ca or .uk to search. And it has several views, one of which is a bookshelf view which shows the DVD cases. No longer free, but worth the money.
p.s. Tech support is great!

per #68's comment, my question is this
What if you just have movie dvds in a carrying case and some in your computer but all the cases that they came in are packed away in a sealed up box under some other boxes all the way in the back of the packed full storage locker your parents rent. Do I have to ask my parents to drive me there, unload the storage room and unbury the box of empty cases just to input the dvd barcodes?
Is there any other way to enter info besides barcodes?
I am being serious and not sarcastic here, ok?
This is info I need to know because I would like to organize the dvds but all the ones I have seen say get a barcoe scanner and use it. We do not have one and my dvd cases are packed away. All I have are the dvds in a storage case. I need a organizer that you just type in the name of the movie and the info comes up. Can someone please give me the name and/or names of organizers that do this,please?

I wish the GAoTD team would monitor or log IP addresses for the people who come here and just click "no" for "Did you find this comment useful?". There are just too many "no" clicks for useful info. And for thumbs down without posting a comment as well. I have a static IP and don't mind it being logged.
Hopefully, their repeated negatives will prevent them from posting in the future. The real contributors deserve better as well as the developers who offer their hard work to us for free.
I try to visit here every day and I read many comments that people make to help others in evaluating the software offered here and the alternatives - free or not. And I consider my time valuable.
So hit this too as "no" since I stopped regular posting many months ago.

There is a great help file that comes with this, just take step by step, it isn’t really a hard program to use. How did you end up with “Final Destination”, “Futurorama”, and “Shrek 3rd”, Easy they threw in a few samples to show you what kind of results you should get when using this program, which put me ahead by 3 seeing I have these movies.

This is not a resource hog. Using my AutoStart and Process viewer program I went through a test after reading your post and it took jump of 30% of Ram just during the time it took to load the program but went way down to 2% ram and stayed there to run through out any task I had it perform. No more then any text editor that I use. As far as process usage, well that didn’t even nudge on the scale.
Your question to the GAOTD adminstrators would be better off asking on the forums page. You may get an answer there to that type of question.

Why would you think this program would stop working if IMDB changed their site design? That doesn’t make any sense. You don’t need IMDB to run this at all. You wouldn’t expect IMDB would have info about your home made movies would you? And besides if that was the case then all the other programs out there that do the same would be useless too, according to your statement.

@# 18 John
You have to look closer.
It does catalogue other formats. Just adding to what # 32 posted to you. Just click on the “Search Movie” icon which is at the top left center next to the “Play Movie” icon arrow, it will open a box where you enter some info to the movie. There is a box titled ”Media”, put a check mark on it and then use the drop down box to choose from Blue Ray, CD, DVD, HDD, HDDVD, SVCD, VCD and VHS.
@# 38 Rich It can export to HTML, CHM, Plain Text, Ms. Excel and to Mobile Device too.
Not sure about your other questions still playing with it feeling my way around.

To all
This program loaded and installed with no problem and can really help in keeping your movie data base organized.
The Bar Coding is great to use. If you’re one of those that just happen to had gotten a CueCat free from Radio Shack a few years ago and held on to them, you can use it with this program. CueCat is so much cheaper then buying a code bar scanner. You can find them nowadays on line for around $10.00 or modified for a little more. More info on CueCat:
http://cuecat.com
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat
http://www.squidoo.com/cuecat
CueCats can be used with the movie catalog program All My Movies. Both modified and unmodified CueCats are supported by this program.
If you need to have your CueCat declawed (modified) for other type of bar coding on the side and your can use a soldering gun then you may want to check out this page:

with a DVD collection of over 2500 films (DVD/HD/Bluray), It was too complicated and time consuming to use for me.
Much prefer invelos dvd profiler (Also free) as it has a database of over 32000 movies, just type in barcode (or use barcose scanner) and all the details are there.

It is the same thing over and over and over again on here...It won't work with my Vista, what do I do?
Very simple...Revert back to XP.
Vista is crap...It's like having to much government in your diet. All the stupid questions Vista asks while trying to run programs is ridiculous. A lot of software programmers are trying to make there applications compatible with Vista, but unfortunately MS has made it a difficult task to accomplish. MS is still trying to monopolize the industry and they screwed up with Vista big time. Most of the software programmers have succeeded with compatibility for Vista Home Premium, but that is it.

I did try it. My initial comment still stands. The search is on a fixed set of fields (location is not one of them) with "AND" relation between them. This is fine for basic use, but the lack of location makes it a no-go. I also don't like the flat listing on the left column. My DVD's aren't just movies, so I would've liked the left column to be hierarchial by custom field.. e.g. media type, genre, series name... I don't want to see "Futurama Disc 1", "Futurama Disc 2" "Futurama Disc 3".. in a big flat list. Thats stupid. I want to see Futurama with a subtree that tells me individual episodes.

Great program. Thanks GAOTD Team. Easy to use and save alot of typing. And there is a place in the media info section where you can assign a number to the movie.

There are quite a few features not reflected in the help manual supplied with the program or the one online at their website - Whats New stops a version 3.1. An example the help indicates you can enter up to 10 custom text fields. You actually can enter unlimited custom fields both text and flag.
@11
Did you install and try? When entering a movie, the "Media info" tab has a fields titled "Location" and "Media label". You can also add unlimited user defined fields (both text and flag types).
You can group the database by First letter of title, Media type, Media label, Media location, First genre, Year, Director, Country, Aspect ratio, Studio as well as any custom fields you have defined. You can sort within your group by Title, Original title, Date added, Movie number or Rating.
You can also perform the search you want by using F3 without needing the sql commands.
@18 and @46
You can catalog media type: DVD, CD, VHS tapes as well as BluRay, HDD, HDDVD, SVD and add your own custom types.
@38
Exports to HTML, CHM, plaintext, Excel and Windows Mobile. Imports from CSV and Excel.
Each record is numbered but there are also fields for Media label and Media location (and you can add custom fields).
@41 Those are example movie entries.

Additional note: You might be able to keep track of CDs with this program, but it appears that you have to manually enter those by hand, since it appears to only search movie databases, nothing for CDs that I could find.
Libra (recommended by a few people here), on the other hand, is SLICK. Couldn't even get the webcam scanner to work ("fixed focus" camera problem, not the software), but it pulled up more useful data on both CDs and DVDs from the online database in a lot less time than it did with this program.
I actually prefer the interface of this program, but the other one just seems to more versatile and functional, and will track more types of items automatically. But thanks for the opportunity to try this one out. Not deleting it yet, but thinking Libra might be the way to go for THIS media junkie! :)

This installed fine on my XP machine, and seems to work flawlessly with my first three entries. DID notice that it does automatically seem to go with the DVD listings for movies, with no place to enter VHS listings, those may need to be entered manually, or just enter them as DVDs and add a user specified flag to indicate that it's on VHS, haven't gotten that far into it yet to know how that would work though.
Looks like there are some good suggestions for other programs to try that people have listed in their comments, that include additional media formats, I may be looking into those before I enter too many more DVDs into this. This seems to be a good program, but for something like this, I might want to have something that I can reinstall at any time, should something happen to my aging PC, I'd hate to enter all my DVDs into this and then lose the program. :-O
Save | Cancel
Libra has not had a update for a year, no xls export. MyMovies no XLS export, no check out and no way to leave notes or rate a movie.
This one seems good for the moment till I find on that does what I want. Do not install the minor build update or you will have to remove this program and re-install I wish minor updates were allowed. Less bugs the more someone would buy this. Also look at the plugins may do what you guys want to to with this.
Save | Cancel
Thanks but no thanks. All this would do for me is take up space. I'm not operating a movie rental place. So no real need to catalog anything with all the movies info.
Instead I have Several pieces of wood that have been assembled to create shelves. From there I can see every movie title. When I buy movies. I tend to buy ones I only enjoyed. Not random DVD's and movies I hated. So having descriptions of movies I like and have watched several times is basically pointless.
And if by some chance I do have a DVD I don't remember what the movie was about. Since I physically own the DVD all the info is printed up right there on the back of the DVD's cover. Take me less time to read that, Then to go turn on my computer wait for it to load fully, then load the program, find the movie, then finally read the description. Total waste of time.
Thanks anyway GAOTD! Will try again tomorrow.

Nice one - thanks! For another freeware alternative, take a look at "Data Crow" [freeware]
http://datacrow.net/
It's a very cool media cataloging utility, including video files, DVD's, books, music, software, games, etc. It can import from many relevant sites, including, as relevant here for movies-DVDs, the Internet Movie Database [IMDB]. Nice presentations of info, as well.
It also is updated on a regular basis.
Highly recommended for an "all-in-one" solution, so you don't need to install a bunch of format-specific apps.

I've tried other movie database programs before that have less flexibility along with the commoner functions. For instance, ones that will allow you to import data from imdb but will not allow you to add your own personal comments, or that have a fixed database name. Since I like to catalog movies via my own personal genres, I really like it that this will allow me to create a database for, say, disaster movies, or movies that are pre-code. I also like it that I can then export the data to, say, a text file, as I like having a hard copy of my movie databases in my favorite viewing area. I think I'll stick with this one awhile, and also investigate the plug-ins option.
Save | Cancel
I like this one. Very much.
From the GUI, to the features; it's all good.
Worth mentioning, AFAIAC:
- You can add information from different movie database sources, from different countries. Very nice. (Needless to say, this program has to go on-line for this, be sure you got an active connection and/or your firewall doesn't prevent this.)
- You can give your own rating to movies.
- It doesn't have to be DVD's, it can also add movies from your (External) Hard Disc, nice!
(With relevant info on where the file is located, what codec is used, etc.)
- Adding your own screenshots. Nice...
The options, the control and the presentation of it all; I like it very much. This one is definitely a keeper for me.
I also use a freeware alternative, called MovieManager. But, from what I've seen from this current GAOTD offer, I don't think I'll be using it for much longer... (It's a fine program, but very limited compared to this offer.)
Big thumbs up and huge kudos to GAOTD and Bolide Software. Thank you both, very much.
My advice: Get it (for free) while you can boys and girls.

While I have used previous versions of All My Movies, I recently ran across this (better) replacement: http://www.griffith.cc/. Also, Griffith is free and does certain functions (like download cover art) automatically - you merely type in your movie title and it will go online to present you with a list of possibilities. After clicking on the applicable one, it will download the cover art, comments, rating, etc. etc.
