Overview

DVDAttache is a cross-platform (Java) DVD management program that integrates with Amazon (US, UK, DE, and JP ). It allows you to manually add your DVD titles or search for them using the integrated Amazon search. You can then add all the movie details directly from the search results without the need to manually type any of the information. Additional features include filtering, custom categories, personal ratings, actor listings, and a simple loan manager. DVDAttache also integrates with Amazon Selling options, so you can quickly put up any DVD for sale.

What's new in DVDAttache

Version 3.9 This is primarily an update for Java 1.5 (5.0) support. It does correct a small problem with Amazon cast lists and removes IMDB support.

So far so good. It's a good looking program. Easy to use. Doesn't like the "&" symbol. Whatever. I wish it would import a list from an Appleworks database :-)

On my new MacIntel iMac most of the functions of this program don't work at all. Click a button and wait forever. No function, no feedback no nothing.

Another Amazon based DVD cataloguer! Not all countries have Amazon! So as with many others manual entry is required for many.

Nothing but trouble ... in the beginning I thought this was it ... but as time goes by more and more bugs are showing up. It has become so frustrating that switching to an other app. has become a must. And because the export function doesn't work anymore I can add all movies from the beginning. Export to XML won't work, plot listings are terrible, loan remember keeps showing up after marking it as returned etc. DON'T USE IT is my advise!!!

DVDAttache is very fast. I use a barcode reader for input and DVDAttache returns all of my results immediately. I haven't found any other program that returns the results so quickly. The Summary tab's image display is just great.

very good program, only that on my phanter-system it doesn't work at all with IMDB. still nice if you don't have a too special DVD or don't mind adding them manually. and it seems some other programs don't like it too much - they quit on their own...

Works really fine - but didn't find some of my DVD's. Please put in an ISBN-Search Routine, than your programm will be the number one !! So far a very good app !!

very nice program, with, I think, just a few shortcomings. Searching is awkward, and it seems the search field should be selected on entry as 99% of the time I am clearing the previous search to do another. There is no hot key for "Set Borrowed" or "set Returned" and there is no way to edit the status of borrowed/returned in the listing, though it seems there should be. Also, sometimes command-A selects all and sometimes it opens the "Quick add" That said, it is still a very nice program, works very well, and the web publishing ALONE is probably worth paying for, but I am glad it's free.

Simply the best application to sort DVD. It is free and better than sharewares. Please add amazon.fr and it will be perfect.

havenÂ´t tested vers. 2.1.1 so far, but version 2.1.0 is a great little(?) app which i really love for my DVDs!

FREE is always good. This little Java program does just what is should do. I could be better at some points, but I am willing to wait for newer releases, working with this program.

I suggest that you NOT use this release without completely reading the "More Info" before downloading, unless you wish to risk losing all the information you have entered into previous versions. The developer also provides a schedule for future releases. If you choose not read or ignore this info that the developer has provided, and you have problems, I regard it as hypocritical to complain about it here, as that is why the developer has taken the initiative and responsibly provided the information to you - so that you can make an informed intelligent decision if you wish to use this release or wait till the next release. In this case, this is a true beta release, known to have bugs. With this product and release, the developer already acknowledges it has issues and is soliciting feedback beyond these issues. In fact the users of this release are part of the development cycle.

I can't get this app to open. I'm running 10.3.2, and for some reason, it wont even start. I get the error :- The application JavaApplicationStub has unexpectedly quit. Any ideas?!

At first glance it looks brilliant, very fast at loading up DVD details looking good. THEN !! I get a message when I start it up the second time, saying some bizzare error message and I lost everything I imported in, over 350 dvd's !!!!!!!!!! I then redid this and guess what? It's done this to me 3 times and I'll be damned if i'm putting anymore effort into this program. VERY UNSTABLE.
