DESCRIPTION
DVDpedia is a powerful movie cataloging application that retrieves all information about your DVDs and videos from the internet.
It lets you search all the Amazon sites (US, UK, Canada, France, Germany and Japan) plus IMDB and several other international sites for information about your movies, either by entering keywords or using an iSight or a scanner. You can create smart collections and start a wish list and a borrowed list so you never loose a DVD again. View your entries as a standard list, browse only the covers or use the web view for a personalized look of DVDpedia. Share your collection with friends, using the customizable HTML export templates.

DIGITAL FURY Almost perfect. It's fast, stable and finds almost all the weird books and movies I have. However, even though I only used DVDpedia and Bookpedia, you should really merge all these applications.

KBEAT I've got a huge collection of DVDs and Video Games, and have long wanted a first class library management tool. I've tired FileMaker, web based utilities, Delicious Library, and a few lesser known shareware programs, and I can say this is hands down the best of the bunch. It's easy to use, feature rich, very snappy even with large collections, and takes full advantage of Leopard's features. Heck, with the cover flow feature in the finder, I rarely have to open it other than to add new titles. It even has a nice iPhone companion app. I wish they offered an "all in one" version of the pedia apps, but that's really the only complaint I have, and that's not really a complaint. If you're looking to manage your collection of DVDs, Games, Books, or CDs on a Mac, the Pedia apps are the best tools for the job.

XPLICIT What about a single "pedia" for all my media stuff? One application for every different kind is somehow annoying. Come on, four apps which do nearly the same, that's a laugh.

BRUJI The main reason the programs are separate is because we want them to be good at what they do - if you have large collections then putting them all together into one application will mean a slower program and less specialized features. It also allows us to keep the price low for users who are only interested in one application. (And for those interested in more we offer bundle discounts.) Having said that though, the Pedia programs do have some integration between them. You can link a Bookpedia book to a DVDpedia movie, for example. Sure, you're using two programs but clicking on the link will take you directly to the other program with the related entry highlighted. Alternatively, there's also the Amazonpedia widget or Spotlight which allow you to search all your Pedia libraries at once (as well as Amazon with the widget) so you don't have to have all the programs running just to check for an entry.

TOURNESOL No thanks. I like the apps being separate. I only want to catalog my DVD's and not anything else. What the author could do was to make some toolbar buttons for each app that will appear automatically when a user own more than one type of pedia from Brunji. That way you could switch easily between the apps.

MOTORCITYMAC This app is so Mac! It's very easy to use, yet very powerful and customizable. It does all you could need to catalog your DVD collection, more efficiently than anything else out there. Truly a "Six Color Killer App". In Applespeak...that says a lot! Thank You Bruji, for your excellent design, and constant support. You make the difference for "the rest of us". :-)

AETNARIA Pedias are separate to favor people that want 'just that', I think. If you're looking for an all-in-one, Booxter might be closer to your aim.

STEVE FRAWLEY Great Program. I also synch my catalog with several Macs using DropBox and sync to my iPhone with DVDPedia. I used DVDAttache for a few years and imported most data without having to reenter. I compared quite a few before switching.

MOTORCITYMAC This app is so Mac! Easy, fast, powerful, intuitive, and it only gets better with each update. This is quality software far beyond simple shareware. The dedication to details shows, and it sure is appreciated. These are pure six-color Apple codeheads. Love you Bruji! -fellow MacGeek.

UBUNTUKING Very good cataloging program. I actually prefer this one to delicious library for a couple of reasons: it starts faster and also the program is responsive, the library cache for the images is pretty small compared to that used by delicious library. While the eye candy is definitely not up to par compared to delicious, the program's functionality is stellar.

PXL I've tried many applications, including Delicious Library, but I'm more pleased with this little neat app. Simple, non-cluttered, and you don't have to wait an eternity for an update. I'm always suprised how quickly the bugs are fixed in the updates... speed of light!
