• Best Personal Support of Any Software I Have Ever Owned

  achebeeMarch 4, 2013

  Pros

  I was using Collectorz Software, and found it clumsy and with each new release harder to navigate and decreasing in value as a functional cataloging software. I downloaded the PEDIA Collection after reading so many good reviews, and immediately found it to be what I was looking for...I had a glitch on my system importing my huge collections from Collectorz to Pedia and I emailed Pedia, with -in a couple hours Conor, (who wrote the software) , contacted me , and began to re-write the software in it's Beta form to work out the glitches..The following day all the bugs were worked out and he sent me links to his Beta release updated and offered it to me for no cost, but I declined and bought it from him because he spent hours addressing the issue I had contacted him about and also working out new ideas in making importing large collections a breeze.. Incredible personal service and attention..Try and find that anywhere with any software these days! I would rate 10 stars if Possible!!!!

  Cons

  I Can Not Find Anything I Do Not like About This Software...PERIOD

  Summary

  Unlike other competing software in this genre, Pedia software offers a HUGE selection Download sites to update your info from... The editing is clean and simple to manage. THIS SOFTWARE SIMPLY RUNS CIRCLES AROUND THE COMPETITION !!!

  Pros

  Fast, neat, all-inclusive, timely updates, great customer service

  Cons

  Nothing-Top shelf product

  Summary

  Have used DVDpedia for years and consider it to be the finest consumer grade software available. They continue to re-think their product and add new features all the time. Other software people-take notice!!

• Great product, customizable, frequent updates.

  TreetoesJuly 13, 2011

  Pros

  Attractie layouts, easy to use.

  Cons

  Wish it had a IOS mate for my iPod Touch. Then I wouldn't get movies that I've already seen perhaps years ago when I go to the video store.

• Great app for those with large DVD libraries

  November 4, 2010

  Pros

  Easy to use, finds a large number of the DVDs I have in my collection.

  Cons

  Doesn't seem to have a 'Full' database. Quite often it doesn't find the details for a DVD I have, nor finds the cover picture, and I have to enter the details manually which can be time consuming

  Summary

  A great app with all the features for those with large collections, though watch out for any obscure DVDs you have, chances are the app won't find the details and/or the cover pic.

• Great DVD cataloger! Just what I've been looking for.

  geohamblinOctober 30, 2010

  Pros

  Very intuitive. Once you get better at retrieving the right description it went very well. Would like to see more choices for exporting lists. Maybe in future version?

  Cons

  No real cons. Learning curve very easy.

  Summary

  Best, most useful app I've bought in a long time. Period.

• Great app for organising your DVD collection

  October 12, 2010

  Pros

  Has found images for most of my collection & saves time filling in all the details.

  Cons

  Hate the DVD's in my collection it can't find. Have to provide my own cover image and write details by copying what's on the box cover

  Summary

  Great all-round app for large or small DVD collections.

• Everything I need in a DVD movie collection cataloger.

  Felix01May 15, 2010

  Pros

  Small footprint, loads fast, many data import source options, customizable data fields, several export options, bar code scanning, drag & drop missing cover art (needed very infrequently on really old movies), developer extremely responsive.

  Cons

  Won't export to iPhone/iPod if you select Amazon as the source.

  Summary

  I certainly haven't personally tried all the Mac movie catalogers available but I can't imagine anything else you'd need that this app doesn't already have. One additional Con: When adding a movie, it's not very intuitive that you need to click on the right-facing arrow in the lower right-hand part of the add-movie screen to be able to select a different title if the initial search doesn't pick the movie you want to add to your database. It's explained in the help files but few Mac people ever read those. So that interface could use a little work to make life easier for the first time users.

• Great application

  tobyb--2008September 17, 2009

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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!
