Editors’ Review

DVDTheque for Mac offers a solid choice for collectors looking to keep track of their DVDs, but its promise of dual language support falls far short.

At startup we were given the option of opening an existing database or creating a new one. After choosing to add a new one, there was no feedback as to where the database file would be located or what it would be called, information useful for backing up. We entered several DVDs into our newly-created database, which was rather easy and intuitive. This is important since there is no help available in the app or online. DVDTheque for Mac offers a comprehensive list of fields to populate with data, including aspect ratio, sound format, and languages, all of which are searchable. However, the only online databases available for retrieving this information were for French releases of DVDs. All database information was in French, even when using the program's English version. You can enter all the information in, manually, but if you've got enough DVDs that you need to catalog, this would be time consuming. There are a couple of printing options.

DVDTheque for Mac offers an easy yet powerful solution for serious DVD collectors who happen to speak and buy their movies in French.

a free DVD database application that is customizable
har2--2008February 28, 2011
Pros
It does what it promises top do: keep track of your DVD collection. It allows entry of a lot of infomation which is searchable. The main window displaying the info is customizable and the info can be exported to an .xml file. Nice interface.
Cons
Some stray terms in French in the interface. There is no Manual or Help which makes for a fairly steep learning curve. Info can be downloaded from various movie databases (mostly French) but not IMDB.
Summary
A good application especially as it is free

...about!!!<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I downloaded it and yes it was in .sit format but when opened it there was the .dmg with no more .sit's. Moved it to the application folder and opened the program up. Went to preferences and changed to region 1 and NTSC, BTW use dvdsoon.com if you can it seems to have more American titles. This was obviously written overseas so what if there are some overseas DVD's we are not the only ones to buy them in the world. Program works great for what it is "FREE", thanks to the developer for a great program.

It took an idiot to package the download file

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I downloaded DVDTheque, and this is the file I got: DVDTheque.dmg.sit - A disk image "stuffed," an annoying way to package a file, since a simple .sit file is smaller than a .dmg file, and usually the same size as a stuffed disk image. But really, why not use a few extra KBs and use the more practical and non-proprietary .dmg format? Back to the downloaded file. I unstuffed the original file, and got this: DVDTheque.dmg - Ah, I'm halfway there! Just mount the image, click n' drag, and fire up the shiny new software! Ummm, hey, what's this? I mounted the image, and beheld ANOTHER .sit file! Mounted image contents: DVDTheque.app.sit So next I had to copy the stuffed file OUT of the disk image, because I have StuffitExpander set to unstuff into the stuffed file's directory (the default setting). After copying the file into my downloads directory, I unstuffed it, and finally got: DVDTheque - The actual application. I surmised that further evaluation of DVDTheque is unnecessary, since only a complete moron would package an application for download in such a redundant and cryptic fashion. Note to developer: use a compression format that ALL Macs can read out of the box, such as .zip or .dmg.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Quite simple one of the most useful things I have ever found on the web. I have hundreds of DVD's that are now managed with DVDTheque. Thanks for a great piece of software. This is one of those rare utilities that I would have paid real money for.
Buy this program an exercise patience

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I bought this app 12 month ago. After numberless updates this software is buggy like on the first day. There is no clear line in enhancing this application. I miss the clean Mac-like handling.
Great Award BLA BLA

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br /><Quote> Congratulations Your product "DVDTheque 2.6.1" has been tested by the Softpedia labs and found to be completely clean of adware/spyware components. <Quote> This simply means it has no viruses and no spyware inside. Many ones here are speaking of other authors rating your product and I am an author but of a completely different product (networking) and I find your product not worth a cent. Look at DVD Sphere who got a 5/5 Softpick rating from Softpedia. This is a true award an qualifies it as the best of this categorie. Personally I prefer and use DVD Cache for it's excellent web grabbing. Sorry, but you asked my opinion.
