What do you guys do to keep track of burned movies?

I've heard Extreme Movie Manager, so I got that, but it's awful. It's just a tiny little window. If you do use EMM, what version do you have? 2.6 is awful.

Well ,it's called pen and paper on my planet :wacky:

Seriously - just a text file......But I really do know from memory what I've downed during the last year.....

I couldn't get anywhere with EMM either, so I'm back to using moviecollector from http://www.collectorz.com

moviecollector avoid like the plague... utter gash!

EMM 2.6 Build 2 is what I use. UI is tweakable btw :wink:

Well I gave emm a good try but did find it a bit - not good.

Will give moviecollector a chance and then decide.

I think function wise emm rocked, but adding the info and getting stuff online i.e imdb/amazon was a bit flakey for me

Although I think that I'll be back on emm, as i did find it did everything I wanted and more!

If only it did

click WWW, click default script and it imports some of the list then stops. Flakey

never has for me, been using it for ages.

Only time it stops is if you want to select a movie, and then you click the one and it carries on. If you don't want it to do that, you need to change options to select the first movie.

I use Notepad.=P

OK, I gotta a question (mainly for spud)
Though PCA may help?

Coz I've fallen WAAAAY behind in my catalogueing, so is there a way I coud just put say the Film Title and CD/DVD Number into an excel/word doc and then load that into EMM/MC? Then at least have the films in there (obviousley without any extra film info)

Or do I HAVE to sit and do each film one at a time into the app?

I'm really lame with these catalogueing tools and alot of you seem to be clued up on them!
Cheers :beerchug:

Both EMM and MC will aloow you to do that IIRC

Cool

@ work at the mo and working on a similar thing - importing data into DB, so thought - wonder if emm/mc can do that.

I'll try and find out how tonight!

Then I can spend some time creating the text file and just load it into emm/mc in an instant - saving all that tmie of inputting each one seperatly :mrgreen:

And work on film info/covers at my leisure

good to see your boss is getting his moneys worth lol

incidently i use notepad to make a list of every movie ive got, and when i burn tehm i write it down by pen into a real notepad, also i have a movie cataloguer that a mate made which is the simplest thing ever to use, no useless gay ass features, just put teh cd in, select archive, and then when u wanna search for a file put the any part of the name in and click find and as they say bobs ya uncle

Well that's the ad campaign and slogan for your mate's software sorted max! :wink:

Notepad here.

I use a piece of software called 'whereisit' for my cd cataloguing. If i was to ever buy a piece of software, it would be this program. I'm not interested in adding all that imdb info and stuff so i like this program just insert cd, click a button, name the cd and bam its all there ready to be searched

i still use Wensoft Movie Library, not as confusing as EMM

@ lildarien,Purple.Nightmare I'll give those a check out.

Cheers for mentioning them!

For EMM, how do I import the director's name from IMDB? Do I just have to type it manually?

What do you guys do to keep track of burned movies?

Who is online
