Product Description:

DVDpedia is a DVD cataloging software for Mac OS X. To save you time and effort, it retrieves all DVD information from the Internet and lets you arrange your DVDs in any which way you like. Using DVDpedia comes naturally because of its familiar iTunes style interface.

Cursor disappears in fullscreen after 3 seconds of not being moved

Duplicates can no longer be added in add multiple batch
More undo actions labeled for clarity
Due date field now also in the add/edit window and full screen details options
Holding down shift and pressing add button opens iSight directly
Internal filter search by dates stricter to avoid picking up dates in regular search string
Apply default columns command sets a collection to update to the current default columns even if they change in the future
Creation and modification date of movies passed to single movie uid named exports HTML pages, for faster sync when uploading only changed files
Update: Amazon diacritic encoding updated to allow searches using diacritics again
Bug fix: adding a new link with an empty URL was not allowed and would trigger the bug reporter
Bug fix: imported images with high DPI could appear smaller with the rest of the area drawn in white
Bug fix: deleting from an excluded collection inside a folder could lead to the delete warning not being displayed

Just what I am looking for - Version: 4.4.3, 4/12/2009 10:02PM PST

My collection is getting too big for the shelf, so was wanting a system that would allow me to file and catalogue discs in sleeves, in file boxes. DVDpaedia allows me to download info from imdb and print it in a size that fits in a sleeve. Awesome!! Can you you believe I started looking just when this version is released.

Good software, useful and fun, never had a problem - Version: 4.3.2, 10/25/2008 09:17PM PST

I've been using it for months and I find it very useful. It can be configured in detail and has many options for export and visualization. Drag and drop is fully functional, as you expect in mac programs.

Just to look for perfection, the major criticism is lack of "hypertextuality": it would be nice to click on an actor (director, writer, ...) and have an immediate filter. Of course this can be done with the search box, but you have to write it again, or copy/paste, and the search is full text, and frequently includes unwanted results. At least, a right-click search would help.

Far and away the best... - Version: 4.3.0, 8/20/2008 02:55PM PST

And I'm referring not only to this title from Bruji, but all the "pedia" series.

I've been using this for quite some time though I've tried others from time to time to see how they hold up. Bento is a nice all-around database and does many things well. Delicious Library looks more like a dollop of eye candy so I didn't really put it through its paces. Librarian Pro looked like a keeper and I bought a license. However, when my license got corrupted, the hoops I had to jump through to get Librarian reregistered were extremely cavalier and make the whole Microsoft process a walk in the park in comparison. I wound up trashing Librarian after getting no real answers from the author over a period of three days. Librarian support is a totally User Hostile environment.

I have had a number of opportunities to chat with Bruiji via email and I cannot state enthusiastically enough how responsive and helpful they are with advice, tips, problem resolution and general helpfulness.

I especially like the flexibility in "exporting" my list of DVDs - as a printed list, as a PDF, as an HTML page via FTP or dot mac, upload to itunes, whatever, you can do it and do it attractively.
