			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/microsoft_windows.jpg" alt="microsoft windows" title="microsoft windows" width="128" height="128" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11907" />Probably the best way of managing and maintaining a movie collection is to make use of a movie database software. We have covered several software programs in the past like the <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/05/05/video-collection-software/">video collection software Movienizer</a>, <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/09/18/erics-movie-database/">Eric&#8217;s Movie Database</a> or the <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/08/03/griffith-multi-plattform-movie-collection-manager/">movie collection manager Griffith</a>. Today&#8217;s movie database software is MBase 2, a portable software program that is available with an English and German interface.</p>
<p>MBase 2 makes it dead easy to add and manage movies. The only input that is required is the name of the movie. MBase 2 will then perform an Internet search for the movie and display results. It is up to the user to pick the best result from the list. All information about a movie, including actors (including pictures), director, movie covers, genre, year or description are downloaded and added to the various fields in the software once a movie has been identified.</p>
<p><span id="more-14295"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/movie_database_software-500x363.jpg" alt="movie database software" title="movie database software" width="500" height="363" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14296" /></p>
<p>It usually takes less than 30 seconds to add a new movie to the movie database. It is still possible to change certain information although that is usually not necessary. A quick link to Wikipedia is provided as well which can be used to add information easily or retrieve additional information and links.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.quadware.com/">MBase 2</a> comes with a loan management module to keep track of movies that have been loaned and extensive statistics. MBase 2 is a comfortable portable movie collection software.</p>

			<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>
