Movie Collection

If you are a movie aficionado then you are probably on the lookout for an application that can store information about all your movies and make it easier for you to manage what is probably a large collection. In this case, you might try out Movie Collection, a software tool that enables you to build a digital movie catalog.

At first glance, you might not be impressed by the looks of Movie Collection, and you surely have a reason not to be. Although fully functional and easy to get accustomed with, the interface is quite outdated, which will most probably remind you of old Windows editions.

The main window neatly displays a list of all the movies in your current collection. Each entry is shown on a different line in a well-structured table, with columns that store relevant details, such as the movie title, its size and resolution, the used codec, the movie type and the IMDB link. The current location of the movie file (in AVI format) is also stored.

The entire table can be easily exported by Movie Collection to HTML format, which can be easily read by any web browser with support for CSS. The resulting table is well-organized with colorful columns that make it easy to read and browse, even if we are talking about a larger collection of movies. The total number of movies is displayed, alongside their total size.  For each movie in the database, Movie Collection can also remember its status, namely if you already watched it or not. The total number of watched and unwatched movies is shown in the exported file.

With no installation required, Movie Collection provides a lightweight tool that can help you keep track of all the movies you own. The application does need an interface overhaul but it is really easy to work with and can export the list of movies to HTML format. It would also be handy to insert a column to mention whether the movie is lent to someone or not.
