Review: Catalog your DVD & Blu-ray movie collection with My Movies

April 12, 2013

Many of us have accrued a massive collection of DVDs and Blu-ray discs, but not everyone has gone to the trouble of cataloging what they have. But keeping a precise inventory has its advantages, and that is where the free and very capable My Movies more than ably fills the need. First of all, if you only have a small collection, seeing what you have is easy enough. But if you have a huge collection of hundreds or even thousands of disks, it's very easy to lose the overview of your collection. You may start accidently buying duplicate disks. Another thought: If you have a disaster such as a burglary, fire, or flood, you can lose your beloved collection. Home insurance requires exact property lists if you want to make a claim. Again, a few disks makes this an easy task, but if you have hundreds, that's another kettle of fish. You can add movies by inserting the disk into the hard drive, manual input, or by scanning the barcode in front of the webcam. Even your own generosity can do you in. If you are in the habit of loaning disks to friends and colleagues, it can become easy to lose track of who has what, and for how long. Keeping a record will help you to recover disks from forgetful friends. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
