OK, MeD's movie manager is a freeware from sourceforge. It's one i found to be a
better one. Although it runs on Java and screen redraw is quite slow. You have to add
movies one by one, and ask the program to update its imdb info one by one.

Ant Movie Catalog was very stupid. everything seemed to be manual. I can just use notepad if i want to manually write everything !

eXtreme Movie Manager was stupid too
Slooooow internet updates, buggy (v5.2 build 8), menus not well explained, help file useless.

film manager 3.1.0 extremely stupid, manual internet information retrieval, manual
attachment of photos, and you have to pay for it too ! what is this program for ??!

"NBS DivX;-) Catalogue v2.8.6" i add a whole folder with 20+ divx's in it, it only
sees Hoodwinked ! I manyally have to add one by one, then i press update via IMDB and
it gives me some kind of error --> "AMD_Path environment not properly set or names.idx not found" so this is no use either

Motion Picture Organizer v2.1, even more stupid than film manager v3.1.0, you have to
manually add everything, then there's no imdb update or anything. it's just an
offline catalog. manual everything, very stupid.

Movie Catalog XP v2.2
You can not show a folder with movies to the program. you have to manually add the
movie name and genre to it, then ask it to lookup imdb, once done that, it just gives
you minimalistic info about the movie, nothing about codec or size of the movie, you can save your info to html, which is also minimalistic. just gives you what imdb
wrote about the movie.


what do i want ?
I want a no frills program that can:
Search through the directory i set, to find movies, extract movie lengths, codec
information, size, anything else from the DivX, then add it all to a list, with press
of a button i can download movie info for ALL or just one off IMDB, along with the
picture and stuff.... then add it all to my database. I should be able to export all
this to html, so I can share it with my friends.
