DVD Shelf allows you to browse, search and sort film information about your DVDs, such as Year, Director, Producer, Cast, Running Time, Nationality, Original Language, as well as DVD specifications, such as Picture Format, Aspect Ratios, Video Formats, Available Audio Tracks, Subtitles and many more.

for a small to mid size collection like mine. For a huge collection of DVDs, Internet database look-up should be enabled. Great interface.

program, wish it worked more like cd's so I did not have to type all the info about a movie. Is there any way to take the trailer from the DVD to put in the software?

listings from CDDB is a walk in the park compared with populating the database with info from imdb.com (the obvious choice). CDDB has clearly defined protocols for exhange of info. The Internet Movie Database presents all its output purely in HTML. You'd probably have to write a FileMaker plugin to parse the IMDB html pages (tricky in itself if you have a look at their HTML code), then pass the info back to DVD Shelf. If the IMDB changes its page layout, the thing would likely cease working. I suspect the developers would have to enter into some kind of agreement with IMDB to get it done (perhaps by exchanging info via XML?) and I'd be pretty confident it wouldn't be a shareware product any more if that were the case. There's a couple of open source projects up and running for this kind of thing (DVDDB a la CDDB), but they don't seem to have got much speed up yet. PS: I'm in no way associated with the developers of this product, though I am a FileMaker developer and casual programmer.
