DVD equivalent of Library thing?

[ffutures]

I've been cataloguing my duplicated / unwanted books using Library Thing and found that it's very easy to use and works pretty well. I'd like to sort my DVDs too, but there seems to be no equivalent site or program that works well and isn't hideously expensive. I did think of using ebay's sell menu and entering DVDs one at a time to get their data then copy it to my own database, but I suspect that ebay would NOT be happy with this, and it would be pretty slow. Library Thing suggest using their system for DVDs too, but so far I've tried barcodes from eight or nine and none of them were on the database, which doesn't bode well for this.

Any suggestions?

I use My Movies to manage my collection. You can use it free, though crippled. Enabling functionality depends on how many "points" you have, and you can either buy them, or earn them by submitting better data about DVDs. I bought points, but have since earned enough that I might not have needed to. If you just want your stuff to be recognised automatically based on barcode I'd say the database is pretty good.

How crippled is the basic version?

Unfortunately I can't remember too well, but here's their feature comparison page. I notice they don't go into too much detail on what constitutes "standard application functionality".

Really vague - but since there are mac and windows versions it might be a good one for me - I get the impression you only need to pay once to get the same features on all platforms.

Except that the Windows installer crashes on my PC and the Mac version needs OSX 10.6

Might as well forget that one then...

Oh, that's a shame - sorry.

BTW, got the buzzers working with the C# sample code I linked to, after a bit of debugging - the code is showing its age. Now to see if I can make anything of it...

I've been busy doing other things, I'd love to have a play with anything you come up with.

That would be great. I'll let you know when there's anything worth the attention.
