ED.B  I noticed that the app saves the images in the ".tiff" format. These images tend to take up quite a bit of space. Wouldn't it be better if they were saved as ".jpg".

Thanks for a great app! Keep up the great work!

PJN  Indeed, I was thinking the same thing, JPG would be better, also when I want to export my list as HTML, with JPG I could also include the pictures in my webpage. :)

ED.B  I didn't have any the issues that you listed. I run the Mac Mini with 512 mb ram. I don't have a scanner or iSight so I hand keyed in my 392 title collection. On occassion I encountered a no result for a UPC code but a simple title search located the movie. I opted not to use a secondary lookup, located at the bottom of the search screen, and received 98% of my finds from Amazon. The only real issue I had was that the export to iPod produced a file that weighed in at 1.2 gig.

Other than that...this app worked wonderfully.

WDATKINSON  I've been looking for a good piece of software to catalog my DVD collection since starting my migration to Mac about a year ago. I'd tried and earlier version of this software and didn't care for it.

After seeing an updated version, I thought I'd give it another shot, but unfortunately I still enountered issues while trying to enter in my 200+ DVD collection:

1). When using the multi-UPC entry, and an actual bar-code scanner (the iSight scan option has NEVER worked for me on two different iSight equipped Macs) the initial entry finds the correct movie. As an example, the first season boxed set of Sopranos. Seeing that, I continue on and enter in another row of movies from my rack. Then the software wants to do additional lookups where it matched the correct movie/upc with an incorrect match. I have seven or eight boxed sets of different titles. Initially the software recognized them, but then as I continue through the process only one title out of maybe 10-15 actually makes it into my library.

2). When entering multiple UPCs there is no option to work with the list being going through the entire add process. So if you see a problem, you can do nothing about it until you finish the process.

3). When trying to use the iSight camera, memory growth brought my MacBook with 1GB of memory to its knees. Within a few minutes I was using 1+Gb of virtual memory and 800+ meg of real memory. I killed the program and restarted and the minute I activated the iSight memory usage goes through the room. But as I said, I've never gotten the iSight option to work anyway.

I would seriously register this product in a minute if it would do what I need to do.

ED.B  This app rocks! Downloaded it a few days ago and now have my entire DVD Collection catalogued. Wasn't aware that you could also catalogue Music, Books, and Video Games. This app does it all for one low price compared to other apps that you would have to purchase individually to cover all the catagories. And iPod support as well! Response from the Developer is quick. I'm running a Mac Mini Solo running 10.4.5.

If you are looking for a simple, clean app for all your assorted media types look no further. This is the app you need.

Keep up the GREAT work!

KEN HAMM  so i got all my dvd's in various sleeves with catalogue numbers--or as the software has it "media location"-- (i.e. B5 would be Sleeve B, Slot 5). i'd rather not have to go to the computer every time i want to browse my collection for a move and i'm bummed out that there isn't an option to print out all my titles with jacket cover artwork, basic info and media location so that i can simply flip through a hardcopy booklet.

other than that it's a decent piece of software.

ANONYMOUS  This software sounds cool, if it would only complete the downlad, tryed 6 times and never finish before timing out. Maybe that should be fixed

MU ADMIN  I just now (Oct. 15, 1:30am eastern time zone, USA) downloaded this software with no problem at all. The problem would appear to be at your end.

ANONYMOUS  I am using DVD Cache 1.1 on a Mac Mini running Mac OS X 10.4.2

There is a serious bug in this version when it tries to 'Find' a tile using the IMDb. if you enter a title in the 'Movie Title' edit box, and have DVD Cache set to

Source 'IMDb'

Location 'USA'

Format 'DVD'

DVD Cache returns a single line in the Display window containing the string 'IMDB Title Search'.

If you search the Amazon db instead you can still get limited data on the dvd.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM UNTIL THIS IS FIXED!! I HAVE SETN EMAIL TO THE DEVELOPER AND HAVEN'T SEEN A RESPONSE.

I believe that IMDB must have changed their RPC/SOAP query format and DVD Cache 1.1 does not use the new format. but that is just a guess on my part.
