Movie Collector For Mac

Note: Movie Collector for macOS has been discontinued and can no longer be purchased. You can still download it and use it with the listed limitations.

As any movie buff knows, having a large number of discs can be both a blessing and a curse. While you are surely proud of your collection, you may have wished there was an easier way to organize them and keep track of all the titles you own.

Movie Collector is an application designed for this exact purpose, as it enables you to catalog all your DVDs and Blu-ray discs, create an extensive database, search for specific movies and backup your data using the provided cloud storage service.

Once you have installed the application, the next logical step is to start importing all the titles you own, be they discs or video files.

If you have access to a barcode scanner, this task is very straightforward. However, most people lack such a device and, in this case, the process is a bit more complicated.

You can search for titles online, and then, once you have found the movie you were looking for, select the versions you have in your possession.

However, it can be difficult to locate specific titles, as there are no filters available and few sorting options.

You need not worry about finding movie-related information once you have added a title to your collection, as the application extracts it from the Internet automatically. This process can be a bit slow, however, and this time can add up when processing a large number of items.

Movie Collector also provides links to the title's IMDB listing and YouTube trailers. Of course, you may have saved your favorite movies on your hard drive, whether to avoid losing the discs or to do away with portable media entirely.

Movie Collector can scan your computer for video files and import them to your database automatically. These can then be launched directly from the app's interface, using your default media player.

Overall, Movie Collector is an OS X app well-suited for movie enthusiasts, as it provides a relatively straightforward method of organizing your collection.

It is also designed to help you extract movie-related media and information from the web automatically, but, unfortunately, offers a slightly cumbersome method of inserting new titles into the database.
