Blah 
First of all, if you have reinstalled windows or such, you may get a MSVCR71.DLL error when installing this. After a search through the forum I found "what I already figured" simply download the .dll file "which isn't recommended to do by some" and put it in the Windows/System32 folder. I have had to install .dll's this way a few times, just be careful where you get it. Also, I have gotten more errors trying to connect to the databases than I care to. The Terminator should be a fairly popular movie and easy to get, well, for me it was numerous tries before I actually got the file. For whatever reason, I cannot merge say T1, T3, with T2, why? I have no idea. So it has to remain a separate entity. I'll stick with EMDB over this. PVD isn't horrible but needs work.

Excellent freeware 
What a beautiful piece of software. Gives me all the info that I could want about any movie, even ones from the early 90s. I can add my own ratings which was a feature important to me. So easy to use and intuitive, no help file needed to work with it. It seems you can import from a csv or Excel file although I have not tried this.

This is by far the best software iIhave... 
It has unbelieveble features - really anything you can think of. After you load everything in - this part takes some time, since it retrives the movie information from IMDB (and posters from Amazon), you can choose searches by pretty much anything. For example: movies which you have already seen or not, by actors, directors, genres (comedy drama action horror etc.), by IMDB rating - basically anything you can think of. I just downloaded it tonight and i spent the last few hours putting in my movies, i dont have that many (perhaps 200 or so) and i found movies that i didnt even know that i had (it can search your Hard Disc for media). The best part is that its FREE! Big thanks to whomever developed this outstanding software!! Thank you, your report has been submitted!

Best movie database at any price... 
A powerful and reliable relational database of movies and the people associated with them. Well designed and feature rich. Imported my existing collection with ease. Unattended, downloaded all the IMDb information I wanted. Interface is well thought-out with an easy-to-read presentation, using collapsible fields and good image management. Extensive filtering, grouping, and sorting capability. Excellent filmography, awards and TV series management. Highly configurable. Expandable with import and export plug-ins. Well supported via an active discussion board, where the developer is very responsive to users. And it's FREE!
