Which DVD Organizer is the best?

Which DVD Organizer do you like the best?

I have a an account at all three accounts but I have been trying to elimate it down to two just to use

Guzzlefish - I love how we can interact with other members,make reviews, and find out the ranks are. However they are really slow on dvd updates and that annoys me sometimes.

DVDAf - I like this one. I can make a wishlist and then organize them in folders. Like for example, I can put all the season 1 sets in one folder and so on because I collect by season. when i get all the season 1's i continue with the season 2 and this makes it easier to organize. I wish there was a way to browse the titles by alphabetical

DVD Profiler - I like the larger scans and the information on the dvds but it is slow on the updates as well.


For this poll, for me the vote goes two DVDAf for being the most updated and frequent program to add stuff to my wishlist too.

What do you all think?

Obviously a subjective answer, but for me Ant Movie Catalog blows the competition away. Not only does it have a tremendous number of options that are easy to access, but has a full scripting language with plenty of pre-written scripts to extract information online or generate reports.

I love Guzzlefish's stats and having CD's and Games, but i'd have to go with DVDAF for its simplicity.

I use both DVD Profiler and Guzzlefish. Guzzlefish is just awesome for the stats. I love DVD Profiler because of the detailed information for each DVD, BUT, the problem is, morons submit completely incorrect data for some DVDs and screw up the online listings. There needs to be a lot more quality control, but this would be pretty difficult.

In case you didn't know, you can lock each DVD's profile in your personal DVDProfiler's database (in part or entirely)
once you've edited it to your liking (thus, avoiding unwanted updates.)

I prefer DVDProfiler. I tried guzzlefish, but there were quite a number of my DVDs it didn't recognize. I also like the interactivity of DVDProfiler.

There is one main reason that I think Profiler is the best. The data stays on your computer. If they go under or have a system crash and lose data, you still have your collection and a copy of the program on your computer. You can upload your collection so others can see it, but you can also access it form your computer while you are off-line.

DVD Profiler is the best. It is easy to use and requires the least amount of work to enter titles.

Agreed, for basically the same reasons. DVD Profiler is my primary, and most accurate one.

DVDAf I keep because it's effortless to add to, and I like having the custom catagories.

Guzzlefish I keep mostly because it includes CDs and Videogames. I also like the stats. I find it slow and annoying to update, however, so it's the one I'd be most likely to drop. Also, since it is slow to update, I've probably forgotten to put a few DVDs into it, so it's not as accurate.

I like Guzzlefish for the stats, although they seem to be arbitrary. But I also like DVDAF because it is easy to use. Overall, I think I prefer DVDAF.

Easier than DVDAf? Their cut and paste model took me 15-20 minutes to get ~200 DVD's . . . Profiler took considerably more (especially with so many versions of the same titles in Profiler's db).
