I format, and customized my own using: Microsoft Word Processing.
Personally, it's more of a convenience than using a commercial website, due to the fact that it's not a requirement for the user to go online, to gain access to their catalog.
Also you are enable to create a shortcut on your desktop, whenever you want to update, or delete information for reasons unknown.

From: Right now, my location is DVDTalk, but then again, you should already know that, shouldn't you?

I use several, but I like DVD Profiler best. I like the look of it. I like how it imports stuff (it's only one at a time, so it's a pain getting setup at first, but it easy to put in what I paid and where I got it). I like the export (so I can easily pop everything into a spreadsheet). I like a lot of the reports (some of the ones for making a print catalog are cool, and there's also a report that shows how much you've paid relative to MSRP, a feature someone asked about).
DVD Aficianado I like the folders, and it's handy when you want to import a whole bunch of titles (but I find it cumbersome for putting in prices and stuff, so I don't use it for that).

I just registered on DVDSpot today and I'm about 1/3 of the way through adding my collection by hand. I've gotten a little frustrated with the anime listings on DVDAF which is what I usually use. I'll continue using DVDAF but so far DVDSpot seems to be a little more accurate at least anime wise.

If there is a way to export from DVDAF then I feel like an idiot because I just wasted a lot of time.

Actually I just checked and the PDA Helper isn't always there (like in the All Owned w/o subfolders list) when you really want it.

DVDSpot #1
DVDAF #2 (when my collection gets too big DVDAF won't handle it too well and will take forever to load, they need a "just view as text" option.)
For CDs I started using CDcomplete (which isn't that complete but OK). I'm still looking for something better something that has the cover art as well as the track info, version etc... I also have tons of vinyl records and old cassette tapes along with some VHS tapes. Need to find something for those too, that is why Guzzlefish was decent, it did the CDs & records (sort of). Most CD databases are either just for CDs (record collectors have to use the closest CD info) or for CDs and MP3 Downloaded junk. I am old school and haven't bought into the whole IPOD world stuff. I need something physical like a disc or a chip and the cover art to truely feel like I have something to collect. Downloading MP3s is like downloading regular files only they take tons of memory because sound files take more memory than text and graphics.

Even though I use DVDAF, I like DVDSpot better. I've just been too lazy to move my collection over.

I was using DVD Profiler until I ran out of room listing dvds using the free version. So I've decided to purchase either Profiler's full version or the Collectorz.com program. Which one?
