Yeesh. I'm zero for two with this. First Guzzlefish, now this. I refuse to pay for this soft of thing. Not sure what I'll do now... At least they let us know before simply vanishing one day, or fading out pathetically.

Just a word of advice to anyone transferring their collection off DVDSpot....check your DVD's (if possible)

I just finished inputting all my DVD's on DVDSpot into a spreadsheet on Excel.

As I mentioned before many of the DVD's I had inputted just disappeared from DVDSpot.

As of now I am missing around 90-100 DVD's from my online collection. Hopefully I'll have some free time to look to see which ones DVDSpot decided to make vanish.

I've been using DVD Profiler for years, but lately I've been considering switching to something else because I've been interested in Linux. However, I'd want something I could use in either OS, so I may have to use a spreadsheet in Open Office or something.

I don't know what to say..I'm just kicking and screaming right now. I decided last week to go head and enter my collection to DVDspot. I really liked the layout better than DVD Profiler. I spent hours this week making adjustments and even some contributions. I really hate myself right now. I should just stick to the folders I have.
On the bright side, I only have 230 DVD and blu-rays with me. The other 1000 are in storage.

I loved DVDSpot simply because I enjoyed making different filters and being able to keep track of what I've watched. I had my collection over at DVDAF as well, but hadn't updated it in a month, but I have now.

Crap. Why didn't they just come to my house, rip off my balls, and hand them to me? I could deal with that.

This blows dead donkeys. I loved DVDSpot and I publicly apologize to anyone who was convinced to join DVDSpot because of my constant campaigning.
Lord I hate DVDAF, it just looks like shit compared to DVDSpot, I'm not sure I want to go back.

Can DVDAF or DVDProf upload the collection from DVDSpot? I could be convinced to either pay for profiler or put up with Af's crappiness if I didn't have to enter 700+ DVDs.

Otherwise... Excel for me. <sigh>

Wow. Good thing I stopped inputting my titles. I joined earlier this year.

Maybe DVD Profiler can get some major input from former DVDSpot users to improve their online presence. DVD Profiler's online presence sucks donkey nuts.

You can change the layout of DVD Profiler pretty much anyway you like

*sigh*
Well...off to settle for DVDAf

I have a question about DVD Profiler. Does DVD profiler have to be installed on your computer to use it? 99% of my computer use is at work and I'm not allowed to install new programs (without being an administrator). DVDSpot is great because I can look at/add to/sort my collection at work because it is 100% online. I wouldn't mind having to install it on a home computer if I could still access it and make changes without having to install it at work.

Does DVDAF have to be installed as well?

Damn it, I'd pay the one time fee of $30 to DVDSpot if it would mean keeping it around. It was perfect in every way for my needs.

Well damn. Good thing I have an off line program that I use as well or I would be super pissed off. In fact, I am super pissed off. I want an online collection as well for everyone to see. Now I am going to have to find one and redo my whole collection. I loved dvdspot and I will not go back to dvdaf. Very upsetting news.

I can't believe this. No chance to throw donations in the pot as an attempt to save it or banner-ad-supported version or whatever. I left DVDaf when they changed their format for the much, much worse, and I don't want to return to that. I don't know what I'll do.

I'm another one who's really really disappointed with this news. I was on Profiler, and switched to Spot when Profiler started to charge. I liked Spot because it was online and it had good statistics. I would only have about 15 months of DVD's to enter, but it's the third time I've had to do it, which is very frustrating on top of the extra cost. I'm not sure if I'm just going to stick to Excel or not. I'm definitely thinking about it though.

Ditto on all those points. I'm totally bummed too.

I was so upset by this news that it took me a day to get my thoughts together on what to do. I decided that I simply can't get myself to enter over 6,000 DVDs again on another less suitable site...at least not right now. Hopefully another site will come along which will excite me enough to start the whole process again.

I use Profiler as my main program, but I like DVDSpot for convenience of adding anywhere I have an internet connection. I will miss it.

Has anyone tried Libra? (Free Windows version of Delicious Library)

suck ASS

Same for me. It took me literally several weeks to actually enter all of my titles at the time. Factor in all of the titles I've added since then and it would just be too big of an undertaking. Not to mention the "watched" filters, etc. It would take something pretty big to get me motivated enough to go through all of that again.

This is what I get for stopping my updates of DVD Profiler. I had been doing redundant updates until April, but let them lapse. Got some work to do myself.

I would never use DVDAF - such a lame interface.

Personally I can't stop cataloging discs, even if it's just offline. Gotta have records for insurance purposes at least.

As previously mentioned, DVDAF has made several improvements recently. I was dissapointed after the format overhaul, but am fairly content now.

try running dvd profiler in a virtual machine - sun's virtual box is free and should work. in os x, i run it under both parallels and fusion.

This is very disappointing. I switched to DVDSpot when Profiler became a pay site. I like the layout, the ability to filter, and display 100 or 500 per page.

I guess I'll go back to Afficionado. I haven't updated it in a long time, so I have some work to do.....

DVD Spot was the most aesthitically pleasing-looking and easy DVD cataloger.
DVD Profiler is fair looking, a pain in the ass to input dvds, and isn't free.
DVD Afficionago is just butt-ugly and not even a real DVD cataloger.


How about DVD organizers from other countries? There has got to be one in French or in German. Can anyone recommend a foreign DVD organizer site?
