I have a large collection of movies both off-line and on my computer and it is sometimes hard to keep the overview of everything that is in my possession. It happened more than once that I bought a movie that I already own which is rather dumb because there are ways to prevent this from happening.
Ant Movie Catalog is an open source tool that makes it very easy to create a database of all your movies because it uses many databases on the web to fill in most of the information automatically. It crawls sites like IMDB, Amazon or tv.com for information about the movie that you added to the catalog. You may then use some or all of the information provided for your database and even download a cover image.
The utility has many features, more than I can describe in this short article but I would like to point out some interesting ones at least. Ant Movie Catalog analyzes and imports information about video & audio coded and bitrate for movies that are stored on your computer and adds those information to the movie information. This makes it easy to check if another version of that movie has better quality and would be worth a download.
You can add comments to every entry with additional information and export all movies to various formats like html, csv, sql and images only. There is an extensive statistics module which displays various statistics about your movie collection.
