Movie Collector Editor's review

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.Movie Collector is a promising catalog program with an attractive interface, many useful features, a vibrant forum, and one or two glaring defficiencies which make it unsuitable for some users, particularly those with substantial existing databases and/or those NOT running Windoze.The import function, if you choose to call it that, is limited to XML exports from DVD Profiler (a Windoze only program) or a list of titles or barcodes from your current collection under "Add Movie" in the "Advanced Mode" (which also works with a barcode scanner, BUT NOT ON A MAC). The "Add Movie" lookup is both powerful and flexible, and with a judicious choice of sites (by the user) returns nearly every scrap of data you might desire about a given disc or tape. However you will still manually have to enter your "Personal" data such as Purchase Date, Store, Purchase Price, etc. If you are just starting your collection this is a minor inconvenience; those with a large collection might , as I have, find it daunting. The stubborn Dutch programmers have adamantly refused to add an import function despite numerous requests on their forum.The forum itself is one of the program's strong points as a number of users there unselfishly offer advice and even programming help for templates, which can be modified by users to change the way the program displays, prints, or exports data. The developers also chime in with usage tips, comments on suggestions, and occasional acknowledgement of a bug or notification of a fix or enhancement.In the developers' own words, "There are some items missing in the Mac editions at the moment (like support for our own Collectorz.com database, iPod export, and Flic barcode scanner support). We are currently working on an update that addresses these issues." You can also do an XML export from Windoze to Mac but not in the other direction.If you are a Mac user running Windoze natively on an Intel Mac and/or have very few movies to enter initially, you might want to consider this program. Although it is the highest priced in its category, the license allows you to run on Mac OS AND Windoze on the same or multiple machines (albeit not simultaneously).Otherwise, if you want a Mac native program with full import capability and a lower initial price, you might try DVDpedia by Bruji, which also has a support forum and developers who are more responsive to user requests.
