DVD Library Manager

DVD Library Manager is designed to help you edit metadata information of the files found in Windows Media Center, the media player and organizer that comes with Windows.

The application communicates with Windows Media Center to automatically detect all the files in the movie library and lists them in a grid format, together with the corresponding details, including the DVD folder location and the movie title. However, you can add other folders for DVD Library Manager to monitor for new movies.

Double clicking on any movie entry opens a new window, where you can easily edit the DVD details. From the director, the genre, the filming studio and the cast actors to the release year, language, duration or the MPAA rating, all these details can be either customized by the user or downloaded from Amazon.com or IMDb.

If you choose to grab the details from one of the two mentioned websites, the application opens a search window. Enter the keywords, press the 'Search' button and the movie metadata is downloaded quickly.

The new DVIDID XML file is automatically created, together with the corresponding XML file in the Cache folder.

In addition to this, you can a cover art to the selected DVD by simply dragging and dropping the desired image file to the designated section.

Right-clicking on any item in the table reveals additional options: you can play the selected DVD using the default application, delete all the metadata (including the DVDID XML file) or edit the raw XML file found in the DVD Cache folder.

The 'Advanced Options' section enables you to create a special folder to store all the cover arts, while the search tool helps you easily find what you are looking for in a large movie database.

Designed with ease of use in mind, DVD Library Manager can help you update the DVD information and thus keep a well-organized movie collection.
