Review

If you have been reading my previous posts you already know that I am a movie maniac. I have more than 2500 movies in my collection right now, and keeping them organized is a must. I have been using Movie Collector for a while, but after switching my computer to freeware only programs I installed Ant Movie Catalog, an open source program. Ant Movie Catalog is pretty good, but the appearance is kinda ugly, not appealing at all.
I found Personal Video Database a few weeks ago and I’ve been testing it since. I was highly annoyed at the beginning. The only good thing was that it was able to import my Ant Movie Catalog collection easily, that was a big plus. And also the appearance was quite nice at a first look.

 

 

But getting used to its functionality took me some time. I don’t use the mouse too much while working on my PC, I prefer the keyboard shortcuts. And in Personal Video Database the keyboard shortcuts are a complete nightmare. Just imagine, the Ctrl+S command does not point to the “Save” function!
After a few days I got over that and explored the program features, and I must say… it’s well worth the keyboard shortcuts frustration. You can grab information about your movies from almost any internet database, you can download posters and covers too. And the layout is neat, nice and fully functional. And the cherry on the cake, the statistics!

Another great feature is that it can get information about your movies right from the folder in which they are located: file size, length, codec, subtitles, etc. If the file name is properly tagged the program easily identifies your movie on Imdb or other databases.
