BoltBait Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'm looking for an iPhone app to catalog my DVD collection. Ideally, it would allow me to (in preference order) - use the camera to scan a bar code on the DVD case to populate the database. (Must have feature) - export the entire list to my computer (Must have feature) - see details/pictures of the individual movies or link to IMDb web site for info - free (or at least cheap) - keep track of loaning DVDs out to people. - search - also handle CD's Any recommendations?

david.atwell Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 This might be the least helpful post ever, but this Android app does that with books. Is there an iPhone analogue? Does it work on DVDs? iPhone...DVDs... Android...books... Yep. I'm "that guy" on the Internet, aren't I? Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

BoltBait Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 You should get both. Psh! I only buy books for my Kindle now. So, no need for a catalog program since it is included in the Kindle.

BoltBait Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Thought you sold your Kindle? App? Yes, I did. But, I still have the Kindle app on my iPhone. And, if I ever buy another Kindle, it will be one of those Paper White ones. They're cool. 1 Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 I did a quick search and found My Movies for iPhone Free/Pro. Does it do what you want? OK, I purchased this and LOVE IT! This is just what I needed. Scanning my DVD collection by bar code couldn't be easier and the data display and searching is awesome. Plus, I can lend my DVD's out to my contacts. The only thing I haven't tried yet is the web access to my list. But, everything else is perfect. So, THANKS Simon.

david.atwell Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 For any Android users who are curious, it's available for us, too (Free/Pro). :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

BoltBait Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 OK, I have scanned MOST of my collection and enabled the online viewer for my collection. Just go here: http://oc.mymovies.dk/ Currently no password is required for viewing my collection. This will eventually change. IMPORTANT: Once you've viewed my collection you must post here to let me know what you liked and didn't like. If, on the other hand, you were not able to find my collection, post here so that we can mock you.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Liked: 28 Days/Weeks later. Fast zombies are fearsome. I got the whole Rage virus thing. THX113 - Awesome! Check my sig! Thing - creepy and atmospheric. OK, so not the best film but a great watch. Starship Troopers - a BLAST! Snatch - took me two or three viewings to figure out the plot. This is a great movie. Respect to Brad for the accent. Silverado - a good western. Not my favourite (Unforgiven). Thumbs up also to Serenity (check YOUR sig), Scarface, Rocky Horror, Riddick (cheesy but fun). That's just a few I liked.....

BoltBait Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yeah, some of those "chick flicks" belong to my wife. I scanned them anyway. BTW, it only took me 2 hours total to catalog my entire collection. I still have a few movies to scan that are currently out on loan. And 6-7 TV series that I can't find. Must be in a box in the garage. (Moonlighting, Remington Steele, Father Murphy, Murder She Wrote, Little House on the Prairie, etc.) Oh, and I didn't bother scanning any of the kids movies... all the Pixar/Disney/etc. Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 You should scan the children's films as well! The problem with this is that the kids generally throw the cases away and store the DVD's in a big soft case with all their DVD's in it. So, I have no bar codes to scan.

nitenurse79 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 My pick from your stash A Clockwork Orange Beetlejuice Bewitched Big Throible in Little China Bladerunner Escape from New York The Godfather collection The Great Escape Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Paint your Wagon War of the Worlds I notice a lack of Laurel & Hardy flicks. Surely timeless classics worth adding to your library ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avrudi Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) I made this iOS application and it's all free on the Apple App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mydvds-lists/id575847127?mt=8 It's still too simple and I'm working on it to add barcode scanner and some other features. Hope you enjoy using it Edited October 24, 2013 by avrudi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
