Batch movie info downloader

All of your favorite movies, shows, or short clips are sure to be found somewhere on the information superhighway. Needless to say that specialized websites keep well-organized databases with pictures and info, which is exactly the place Batch movie info downloader goes to grab movie info for you.

One of the main advantages is that it doesn’t take you through a setup process, meaning you can store it on a USB Flash drive and take advantage of its features even from other computers. Moreover, your computer’s health status stays intact and resource consumption in optimal parameters.

The main window is fitted with rather outdated elements that are so last decade. On the other hand, this simplicity keeps you focused on the task at hand, and doesn’t cause any kind of confusion. Different options need to be checked, depending on what type of info you want to grab, a list stores the movies you want to search, as well as some buttons here and there to initiate the process and browse through results.

In order for the application to work, you need to feed it a file so it can grab data. There’s no open dialog so you just need to drag it over the main window. What’s more, metadata doesn’t need to be filled in, because only the file name is taken into account when searching.

This means you can load virtually any file type, as long as it’s named after a movie. As easy and innovative this may seem, initiating the search brings up your web browser to the IMDb page of the movie you want, after which, all content you specified is downloaded.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Batch movie info downloader comes with good intentions, but requires some amount of effort both to figure out how to properly use it, and set it up to retrieve results. What’s more, practicality is rather questionable, considering it completely relies on your default web browser, which can export any page easier through the print function and a virtual printer.
