			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/movienizer.jpg" alt="movienizer" title="movienizer" width="128" height="117" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-12593" />Keeping track of an extensive video collection can be quite a daunting task especially if the collection consists of more than a few dozens videos and movies. It becomes almost impossible if the figures reach the hundreds or even thousands of videos. That&#8217;s were video collection software programs like Movienizer come into play. Movienizer is an Open Source software program to manage a video collection. This can be videos on storage devices like PC hard drives, gaming systems like the Xbox 360 or Sony Playstation 3 but also movies on DVDs, CDs or even VHS or Betamax tapes.</p>
<p><span id="more-12595"></span>Movies are organized into movie databases in the video collection software. Movies can be added by title, bar code or reading a DVD or file with the option to add multiple movies at once to the software. Movienizer will then query movie databases on the Internet to find information about those movies. It starts with a query to identify the movie properly as it is quite possible that only part of the movie&#8217;s title has been entered by the user. After that a form with multiple tabs is shown that already lists information about that movie. <a href="http://www.movienizer.com/">Movienizer</a> seems to pull those information mainly from <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/06/01/imdb/">IMDB</a> in first place and probably other movie databases if IMDB does not return results.</p>
<p>It will basically retrieve any information found on IMDB including a description, actors, directors, ratings, years, pictures, genres and technical information. All of these information can be edited by the user before adding the new movie to the video collection. The video collection software provides access to some optional custom information about the movie including a personal rating and if the movie is in the collection, seen, wanted or for sale.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/video_collection_software-500x416.jpg" alt="video collection software" title="video collection software" width="500" height="416" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12594" /></p>
<p>The video collection can then be sorted by several means including by actor, movie title, directors, actors, stars, year, rating and a plethora of additional filters. There is also the option to add biographies either manually or by downloading the information from the Internet. The biography not only includes information about a persons live but also references to all movies that he was involved in.</p>
<p>Movienizer offers a great way to organize a video collection. Especially the option to download all the information from the Internet makes it comfortable to use. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eric&#8217;s Movie Database is a software program to organize and manage a movie collection. The lightweight application all the features that movie collectors would except from such an application. The software program concentrates on the collection aspect unlike other movie databases who desperately try to offer a unique feature that distinguishes themselves from the other programs in the category.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.emdb.tk/">EMDb</a> is closely tied to the Internet Movie Database (<a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/06/01/imdb/">IMDb</a>) which can be used to search for and fill out most of the information about a movie. It takes only 15 seconds from entering a movie title to searching IDMb to adding the movie to the user&#8217;s collection.</p>
<p>It can take more depending on the information that the user wants to add or change before the movie gets added to the database. A hit on IMDb usually fills out many information about a movie like actors, plot, director, year, genre(s) and duration while other information that are source specific have to be filled out by the user himself.</p>
<p><span id="more-7060"></span>Source specific meaning the medium the disk is on, for example DVD, CD, VHS or a computer video format.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/movie_database-499x401.jpg" alt="movie database" title="movie database" width="499" height="401" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7061" /></p>
<p>All movies that are added are listed in one central database which can be sorted in various ways. A search function is available to search huge movie collections by using various parameters like genres, titles or actors. One interesting feature of the search is that all information that have been added are available in menus which means that a user could either enter the director manually or click on the name in the list.</p>
<p>The movie database comes with an export and print function and can also keep track of loaned movies easily. Eric&#8217;s Movie Database is fast and responsive. It might appeal to users who want to quickly organize their movie collection without the added noise that other applications in the category produce.</p>
