Anyone use Movie Collector to catalog their DVDs?

From Collectorz.com? I'm still trying to find the best program for my needs. Been having issues with DVD Profiler so I'm looking at other options.

Any experience?

I used it, And it sucks. I don't have any experience with other programs, but based on ease of use, features, the look & and feel, I hated it. The whole program felt very amaturish and cheaply made. I do NOT recommend this at all.

I recommend Ant Movie Catalog -- http://www.antp.be/software/moviecatalog

It is highly customizable and configurable. I switched from DVDProfiler to AMC nearly 3 years ago and it continues to be able to everything I've needed it to.... including easy to change webpage listings http://percontifamily.com/tcperconti/DVDCollection/ and ability to generate list for PDAs:

namrufmot, almost all of us had the same problem you expressed in the other thread. We all pretty much had the same solution for it, did you try it? Try refreshing your pictures inside dvdprofile or go to C:\Program Files\InterVocative Software\DVD Profiler\IMAGES and delete all the data in that directory. You should then be able to download the new updated high quality images.

Yes I did royal...several times on two computers.

Each time it says my pictures are updated but they continue to be the small versions (15k per pic) and blurry. Of course I amde sure that the high-quality pic box was checked.

All I really need/want in my software is to keep the list in ABC order and have decent pics to look at. I keep my DVDs in mega-changers and never look at the actual cases anyway.

I have added over 500 titles using Movie Collector (collectorz.com). I haven't had any problems.

What issues are people having?

I am not opposed to switching software if it is vastly superior but MC works for me.
