Dvd Databse

[Jake802]

Can anyone give any suggestions as to what they use to catalogue their dvd collections? I seem to recall having one that connected to the internet and was free but I dont remember the name. Thanks!

[FulciLives]

I use the following:

www.dvdaficionado.com

To give you an idea of what it looks like here is a link to my (mostly complete) collection: CLICK HERE

Another option is: http://www.collectorz.com/

They have a DVD program that is pretty kewl. I use their COMIC BOOK database program.

However for keeping track of your DVD discs you are hard pressed to beat DVD Aficionado!

Personally, I like DVD Profiler. It has both a freeware and pay version of it.

You can easily catalog your DVD collection by simply entering the UPC codes on the back of the box. It is definately worth looking at.

That's just the stuff I own on DVD that are retail releases. I have many more DVD discs and LaserDiscs and VHS tapes. Not to mention my old Beta snuff tapes.

I use a simple datadase I programmed in Microsoft Works. Took about 5 minutes to do.

LOL

I just bought my first CED off of eBay a while back because some friend NEEDED it as it was the only format to get the movie in ... unfortunately I don't have a player nor does my friend so what good it does either of us I don't know. I told him that if he buys a CED off of eBay (he has more money than I) that I would convert it to DVD for him.

I have this very "odd" vision of a moment stuck in my head from childhood. I'm sure we all have such moments from childhood that have stuck with us for one reason or another. In this particular "vision moment' I distinctly remember being in a store (I want to say it was SEARS but I'm not sure) playing the ATARI 2600 game E.T. and I remember playing the game there on a TV and I remember a whole bunch of TV's for sale and one of them had a CED player connected to it and I remember someone putting in a disc and seeing it worked and how the hard plastic disc shell stuck out a bit and I remember thinking to myself ... how odd LOL

I'm guessing that would have been 1982 (I think that was the year E.T. the movie came out) and I would have been all of 10 years old then.

Funny how moments like that stick with us into adulthood.

I hate to admit it, but I have about 100 CED discs, and the player. The player needs new belts in it, and the remote is missing, but it still works. The stylus in it is still fairly new.

You wouldn't want to make a DVD from a CED disc. They skip horribly! The disc spins fairly fast, and the stylus barely floats on the surface of the disc. Any amount of dust will cause the picture to skip.

I don't know why I am holding on to this stuff. I am too much of a packrat and can't bear to get rid of anything. But, if anyone is interested in buying this stuff, let me know. Though I would hate to see what the shipping costs would be, these discs are HEAVY!

Sears and Radio Shack I believe were the two main sellers of the CED format.

The concept of the CED disc players was interesting. At the time that they were available (early 1980's), VCR's (both VHS and Beta) were selling for $1,000+ and prerecorded tapes were selling for around $40-$80 each. LaserDisc players were also selling for around $1,000+ with the discs selling for around $40-$50 each. The CED players that RCA was selling sold for around $300 and the discs sold for around $20-$30 each.

I used to work for an appliance rental company in the early 80's. We rented the players and the discs. When RCA stopped manufacturing them, we sold all of our players that we had and the discs for $5 each.

RCA stopped manufacturing them in 1983, so that sounds about right.

For those who are interested and don't know what CED stands for, it's "Capacitance Electronic Disc."

Here is a screen shot of AMC. I like ant because it is highly configurable and automatic if you like to use IMDB r other online databases.

[victoriabears]

how about imdb.com ?

[Krispy Kritter]

I also use dvdprofiler. Nice little program that is capable of much more than I use it for.

I've had great luck with Collectorz.com Movie Collector.
It can automatically seek and fill in, film info from chosen numerous sources.
Pics of front and back covers too.

They also have a free trial edition...if you want to check it out.
