That's odd - I've had version 5.01 since November 29, 2011 and here it is being announced on MacUpdate January 2, 2012.

The program crashes my system quite often, especially when I click on the movie to play from the program.

One MOST annoying thing is that when I search for details about a moie on IMDb, the progam chooses one of the choices (some of the time it is the wrong one). Then I have to delete each of the categories in the listing and try to manually search for the movie myself. The only way to erase the details about the movie is to delete the movie itself - all I want to erase are the wrong details, and not the movie itself.

Please email us the crash log and give us some more information about the steps you're taking before the crashes happen so we can take a look at that. (Our email is support at bruji.com)

The advanced search will allow previewing in the next major version update (which we're working on right now). Thanks for the feedback.

I love this app. It is so Mac, exactly what Mac is no longer to do (eg the latets iMovie, iDVD and QT).
It is so easy and beautiful to use, quick and neat. The pleasure of choosing films and having any information at a glance is uncomparable. It actually makes one feel like watching films that would have been injustly ignored with other movie storage/cataloging.
Eventually, the following improvements could be appreciated :
- larger size of the covers in the full screen mode
- large choice of sites from where to draw the cover picts and movie details
- automatic removal of useless informations drawn from the websites (eg. price)
- when a search is made using a director or an actor as the criterion, the selection of a given movie interrupts the search process. Then, the search cannot keep going from where it was paused, it has to restart from the beginning (reloading many pages of movie lists sometimes). Therefore, it can be slow and cumbersome when a large catalog is started.

I have just found that DVDPedia already allowed automatic removal of the unwanted information from the providing sites.

I should like to suggest another improvement to this much appreciated app. : a quick refreshing of the display WHEN THE IMAGE IS MANUALLY EDITED. Presently, one has to quit and restart DVDpedia to see how it rendrers when, for example, a small image was sharpenned with another software. Eventually, DVDPedia could consider providing such basic features (sharpening and trimming/resizing some of the imported pics)

PS : if you are looking for small but good quality picts of the posters of unusual French Films, I have found that the following site is a treasure : http://www.cinema-francais.fr/les_films/

Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying DVDpedia. A tip: if you want to choose more than one movie from a given search, go into the Preferences/General and uncheck the option to 'Return to search window automatically after add'. That'll keep the Add panel open so you can look at all the results before choosing the one you want to add.

Absolutely the best investment i made as a switcher from pc to mac with more than 1200 movies in my database (ant movie catalog) DVDpedia was able to import them in a breeze
I like the flexibility to index the files the way i want because they're on different locations so i name my collections and numbers according to the stored location, never have to search long for one of them.

The ability to search moviesites like moviemeter, Filmaffinity, etc... is something not found on others so i can keep the movie info localized.

Features: Would love to see more templates and print templates but this has nothing to do with the features they're rich packed dvdpedia is aviable in Spanish, French, German, Italian & Dutch localizations (love that last)

Easy of use: well designed a kid could work with it, and its so flexible that it's even challenging for more pro users.

Stability: using it almost a year now and it never crashed on me

Value: worth every cent of it one of my first apps i will instal on my mac.

Version 4.5.3 "improvements:"
>List view button updated
>Added missing gradient to reflection in Add/Edit panel
>Date Added not set for some users

This called an update? Hardly. This is a free promotion for the developer. Sure, this is a very well conceived program, but don't invite ridicule by rearranging a few pixels, just so you can get extra press for your wares. Do the work and stop playing Limewire. There are plenty of significant improvements that can be offered beyond "Added missing gradient to reflection."

Thanks for your feedback. We focused so much on Snow Leopard compatibility with version 4.5.2 that we missed two bugs for that update, the gradient in the Add/Edit window and the Date Added field. We regularly run a long beta testing period and would have caught these bugs before release. But because of the release of Snow Leopard yesterday we had to shorten our testing period.

The version change was necessary so that users who had already upgraded to 4.5.2 would see the new version. Usually for something small like this we wouldn't have done a listing on MacUpdate but the site is great in that it reads our appcast.xml files and knows automatically when there is a new version out. So we don't even have to list an update - MacUpdate does it for us.

Of course being on MacUpdate two days in a row is an added bonus for us and all the users who discover a great app.

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.

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". :-)
