Movienizer will download photos, biography, and the complete filmography of the person. In Movienizer 6.3, you can easily learn more about movies from a filmography: just click on the "Info about movies" button on the toolbar, select movies and click "Next".

- In Movienizer, you can rate individual episodes of a TV series. However, previous versions of the program might lose your rating if you re-downloaded information about the TV series. Movienizer 6.3 keeps episode rating, even if you re-download information.
