  1. I have several binders of DVD-R and BD-R with video content on them in folders. I need some kind of software with some kind of simple GUI that will let me...
    - create a searchable database of the videos possibly scanning online for metadata
    - add a category for the name and number of my disc
    - have options for exporting the data as excel or some other format

    I'm currently using All My Movies but I only recently found out it doesn't do well with exporting my database to xml (can only do older versions of excel) and it doesn't do CSV at all and I'm concerned about the same thing as always with these kinds of programs: what to do if it ever stops being supported or just disappears. I have another similar program, not for video, where I have a database of info. It uses a proprietary format, it no longer exists, the dev is nowhere to be found, and now I have no way of exporting the content at all. So, in short, I don't want to get stuck like this again, particularly with my video database that counts a few hundred BD-R and DVD-R.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I use DVD profiler. It is geared more towards commercial discs but you can add your own stuff. Also has printable templates and export functions. Also. Colletorz has software that is for movies books music etc. Both have a windows version and android/iOS supplement software
    if all else fails read the manual

    DVD Profiler looks like the one I'm using. I'll try a demo to have a look at it.

    Unless I'm looking at the wrong one, it looks really basic, moreso than I was hoping for. How do you use it?

    Lets you index all the directory trees of discs and HDDs, which can be searched when the media is offline. It keeps track of filesizes, the modified date, file name, and which offline media the data is stored on. Can also do searches based on file extension or file name. It has network capabilities which I have not messed with. It can export excel data.

    I use it for indexing data I have burned to BD/DVD, to make it easy to search and know exactly where the data I want is. I also use it to index offline HDDs.
