If you own digital movies from Vudu, Google, Amazon, etc., or if you own digital games from Steam, GOG, etc., then your purchases are already organized via the user interface provided by the digital store. But you may still not get full organizational benefits from it if the user interface is not well-designed. You may have limited means to sort, search, filter, etc. The Roku app for Google can't even do a simple title search of your library. The Criterion Channel app can't search titles that are supplements under other titles. As for physical discs, I have used all the notable cataloging software and all have major shortcomings. That's why I eventually made my own cataloging software with Microsoft Access, the database program that is part of Microsoft Office. I have about 13k titles that span all media types from home-made VHS to digital titles, so I really need the most top-notch tool I can afford to have. The efforts have been paying off. My database now allows me to search for things like what audio commentaries were done by which persons and on which discs. I'm sure no other tool will let me do that.

Good video. Very interesting for geeks like me. I used to write my lists on paper, now I write my own custom software. It's very satisfying

IMDb used to have a feature that let you "favorite" any titles into your own "collection," sort of like what Letterboxd does now. But this only lets you catalog movie-related info of your collection. It doesn't catalog disc-related info such as region, studio, video/audio specs, cover arts, etc. If you catalog both types of info then it's like managing two separate databases, which could be daunting.

Very interesting, thanks! Still info-worthy in 2020. The first 12 minutes is boring and you can skip them without dulling the plot.

Off topic question... why do people feel the need to use video software that shows the person's face in the video? Why do we need to see the speaker's face?

That is when you use a program called gnumeric. I haven't had any problems with it in over 10 years.

Despite the basic look Microsoft Excel still is king, since you can add everything. The only downside is that you have to enter all the information and pictures yourself and you need to have some knowledge of the program, but at least your not limited to what programmers think is important for you to see and what isn't. Also, with streaming being huge these days, catalogue programs like this are dying out fast. A popular program like DVD Profiler hasn't been updated in 3 years now and is almost abandonware.

EMDB !! I like Eric's Movie Database best. It's free, non proprietary and easy to customize. He even sells a custom banner with you name for about 5 bucks. He uses that to work on the software. It updates info by IMDB on the internet, including links to trailers and KZitem. You can even customize case type (ie steelbook, special editions). I put all my box series in and it pulls info for all episodes, and includes series banners and season covers all in one dedicated section by click. It exports to csv, txt and HTML. It also can link to your local media files. It has a nice large display that you can click thru all the movie posters as well as covers. All kinds of filters and sorting, and just too much to list. I'm still discovering features after years of us. I have 1300 DVDS. series and movie franchises in my DB now. Its free and he updates about once a month with new fixes and features to keep it relevant to current media. You can also download a portable version to carry with on a thumb/flash drive. Check it out, and be slow to judge. What looks simple at first can be just enough. It brings no bloatware or adds with it. He is open to opinions.

Also for Digital books try Calibre. It is also multi feature as you need it and no bloatware ads etc. I have thousands of books on that and have been very secure. Beats iTunes by miles! Calibre is another that can be portable.

Dated? Yes, but most physical media catalog software is very dated by now. There's never been any big deman for this type of software
