DVDpedia ReviewGreat application - Version: 4.5.3, 9/17/2009 02:46PM PST

After using DVD Cache for years, and receiving excellent support, the program broke under Snow Leopard. Several attempts to contact them resulted in no response. I did some research and found DVDpedia. My inquiry as to compatibility with Snow Leopard and whether it could import the database from DVD Cache was answered in three minutes! Answer to both questions was yes!
I downloaded the program and within 2 minutes had my entire database, posters and all, imported into DVDpedia. Much better program than DVD Cache!

Great Program. I also synch my catalog with several Macs using DropBox and sync to my iPhone with DVDPedia. I used DVDAttache for a few years and imported most data without having to reenter. I compared quite a few before switching.

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.
