I will admit that cataloging
your DVD collection using All My Movies isn't a fast process. Your collection of 200 movies can require a few hours' work to get them into the program's database. But despite that, the end result is really rather impressive, and to some people will justify the effort involved in getting that far. This software will give you a detailed database of your film collection that you can share, store, search, export and customize to your heart's content. You can add a DVD to the program's database simply by entering its bar code number, or even just its title, then All My Movies will query a few external Web sources (such as Amazon and the Internet Movie Database, although it's quite a long list) to bring in cast and crew details, a synopsis and an image of the box art. No need to type in lots of details and having to scan in any pictures.
The only drawback is that it takes around 30 seconds per entry. All
My Movies insists on getting details one at a time, rather than allowing you to enter in a big list of film names and then head off to watch one of them while the computer fills in the details. If you can put up with these problems, you get to enjoy a database that is fully customizable, can keep track of who you've lent films to, and can be exported easily to the likes of Excel or HTML, and you can also easily import a list from CSV or Excel, and the program will also run through your hard drive if you'd like to see what it can find there.
