Great Program
"I would like to let you know that this is the greatest program that I have found yet and well worth the price. I have been looking for a program of this nature for a very long time, it is so easy to use because I have thousands of movies and t.v. series in my collection.And all my movies are in so many different formats and with your program, It makes it a breeze to keep up with them, So again, I say THANK YOU FOR THE TIME AND EFFORT AND THE PASSION,AND I DO MEAN PASSION OR BETTER THE PRIDE, YOU PUT INTO THIS PROGRAM !!!"May 16, 2012

"Did an entire inventory of DVD's (Only 300) in about an hour last night with the scanner. Love it!!!!!I'm still figuring things out, but I sure like this software..."
April 22, 2012
Thank you a 100 times
"Thank you a 100 times - I have been a Mac user for over 10 years and could not find a decent programme to catalogue my music cd or movie collection - have over 4,000 music cds and 2,000 movies. :-DThanks again for creating these programmes."

Excellent software
"I just bought Movie Collector and I love it!!!!Thank you very much for this excellent software! ;-)"
April 05, 2012
The best ever
"Hi and greetings from near Sydney Australia!!! I'm a 60 year old grandmother of 6 and I love the software!!!For over 12 years I have been using an Excel spreadsheet to collate my 1,000+ private movies. But I got to the stage that sometimes I couldn't remember the title but I could remember the actors. I could not believe how simple it was to tranfer ALL my movies across!! All there is to do is to "update online" each title & change DVD cover (which is worth it ) and then by using the searh field eg: for an actor and then it pulls up all the movies associated with the actors! YEAH!
The best ever for so little cost!!!"
March 24, 2012

A dream come true
"All the work put in over the 14 plus years is a dream come true for me.I've started loading my DVD list. It'll take a while with over 600. My wife and I love movies and we've been very selective and I think we have built quite an eclectic library!"
February 20, 2012
Super impressed
"I am super impressed with it. The display and versatility of the program to handle the inputed information is terrific. It's offering way more than I expected...and the trailer previews are fantastic.Wonderful product! Thank you."
February 06, 2012
Your great software
"Thanks, Alwin!
I'm really enjoying adding my movie collection to your great software. I especially love the "Barry" app that allows me to scan them in using my iPod!
I like to do a little programming at times, but never took the time to develop something for myself, and you and your crew have done a great job, it's exactly what I wanted! I have a large DVD/BluRay collection that keeps getting larger, and sometimes it's hard to remember exactly what I have.
Again, thank you!"
February 02, 2012
I'm really enjoying using it
"I'm new to your software and decided to buy movies first as my collection of over 3,000 DVD's and Blu-Ray's was getting a little hard to manage. I've started cataloguing them all now (will take forever haha) but it's a great programme and I'm really enjoying using it.Once I'm done with movies I will grab music and books.
Keep up the great work."
January 26, 2012
1,795 numbered and in order
"I love my Movie edition, without it I would have bought so many doubles.I am up to 1,795 movies now and I am able to keep them numbered and in order on my shelves so they are easy to find.
I tell everyone that has lots of movies to get this program!"
January 17, 2012

"Been a Movie Collector user since 2005 when I purchased my first version. Have watched it grow through the years.Finally broke down and grabbed Buddy for Barry and LOVE IT!! Will be scanning my entire collection in this weekend on my day off and maybe even springing for a connect account as well.
Don't stop making it better."

Love Collectors

December 19, 2011
Big help
"To make a long story short, I am up and running and love the setup so I have purchased a year contract (note: George refers to Movie Collector Connect). That should give me time to get my network up and running such that I can let my local and long distance family see my collection of movies.My main reason for setting this up online now is for my two grandchildren who are living with me and are avid movie watchers. My young grandson is just on the edge of reading so he can now read the descriptions of movies and know what he really wants to watch. For the past 3 years, I have had to tell him what each movie was all about - drove me crazy because he loves so many different movies. Have to love him and now he is so proud that he can read most of the words and his vocabulary is growing daily.
Thanks again for your help - sorry I am so long-winded in saying thanks, but your product has been a big help in my "Love for Movies" life."

Love the Movie Program
"I so love the Movie Program..I own over 1,700 movies and this helps me keep track of them so I do not buy double on them. Thank you for creating this!!"
October 10, 2011
Awesome program guys!
"I just got Doug Benson's new comedy CD that includes a bonus DVD of his short lived TV show on Comedy Central and your movie program found it; even the correct image.Awesome program guys! "
September 28, 2011
So great app!
"I use Movie Collector on my iPad, every time I go out shopping for movies I update beforehand so I don't end up with two copies of the same movie! So great app! Keep up the good work!Many greetings from Belgium."
September 27, 2011
Very very nice
"Greetings from Brazil.
Just to tell you I love the version 8.1, which introduces the new "Cover Flow".
This 3rd viewing mode is very very nice. Thank you!"
September 21, 2011
Coolest program EVER
"Coolest program EVER. I've been looking for something like this for the past 10 years.... I'm glad i finally found it!!!!"September 18, 2011
Worth every penny
"I've been using the software for about 2 and a half years now, with only ever the most minor of problems, which I've contacted the help team about, and EVERY time I have had a reply back within 24 hours.The support team, and management, are the most courteous and helpful people I have come across on the net. The software supplied by Collectorz is easy to use and understand, and, in my opinion, is worth every penny I have spent on it.
All I can say is, keep up the good work Collectorz team!"
September 18, 2011
You guys ROCK!!
"Thank you so very much, to tell you the truth, I did not expect such a quick response and great customer experience. I usually don't do testimonials however you guys ROCK!!I love my database being on the web so I can bring it up any time and anywhere. I have about 600 DVDs and Blu-rays at home, and your Software gave me the ability to place them in a large binder and stored all the covers instead of running out of space filling the cabinets.
I also use your software as a table of contents to my DVD collection now and I don't have to worry about buying Blu-Rays of movies I already owned on DVD. Did that Twice.
Please keep up the great work and thanks again . "
September 16, 2011
NEAT
"Today I registered all my DVD's and Blu ray movies on my Collectorz.com Movie Collector, bought the android app and exported them all to my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc...NEAT :-)"
September 11, 2011
A great item!
"The CLZ Movies HD app for the iPad is a great item!It makes it simple to show guests a listing of available movies, rather than showing them an Excel spreadsheet or inviting them into my computer room to see the list on Movie Collector.
Score one for the Collectorz team!"
September 10, 2011
Well done
"Wow guys this is so great. Others on market don't compare to collectorz. So cheap thanx guys can't wait for next 13 years. Your support is also spot on well done..."August 21, 2011

August 01, 2011
A bonus
"Well what can I say except Movie Collector is fantastic. I am really enjoying the program.Everybody who loves their movies should have this , I've been telling some of my friends about too. Thank You Collectorz for the upgrade on my recent purchase.
I was very impressed with version 7 and now to have version 8 is a bonus. Thanks again."
July 20, 2011
This is BIG
"V8 is the best media software anywhere! CONGRATULATIONS.I downloaded V8 the day of release and tried everything to use the backdrop image as a template and now find out you have added the backdrop template feature.
Thank you this is BIG for us movie fans."
July 19, 2011
Unbelievable
"It truly does just keep getting better. And I have never come across any software backers that support the product like these guys do. If you have a problem or question you can't find the answer to in the FAQ or manual, in far less than a day, your answer will be in your mailbox.Unbelievable.
I love the automated finding of trailers. While there were many independent and foreign films in my collection I had to search out youtube for trailers, it found workable ones for nearly all. Having a trailer embedded, using trailer setting under view is really great.
Sorry for the commercial but I am quite happy with it."
July 15, 2011
Worth it
"The trailer part alone was worth the upgrade fee!"July 14, 2011
BLOODY BRILLIANT!
"Just upgraded to Movie Collector 8 for Windows. I just have to say - BLOODY BRILLIANT! Thanks you guys. I am having so much fun updating each and every disc in my collection.Just updated my Dr Who Series 5 box set and to see all the new relevant episode data appear is a dream come true. This is always what I wanted from this software; the hard work done by someone else!!
As I said BLOODY BRILLIANT!"
July 13, 2011
Outdone yourselves
"You guys have outdone yourselves on moviecollector 8. The embedded trailer is too cool! You have yourself one very happy, and loyal customer! You guys rock, and thanks for this awesome update!!!"July 13, 2011
Awesome job
"First, hands of to all you guys for an awesome job you guys/gals did in this new Movie Collector "Vee 8".I've been a customer since your first version of the MC (or close to it, I believe), and just when I thougt there's nothing else to add to this already excellent software, you guys kept "Pushing the Envelope" and brought a whole bunch of cool new features.
You guys rock!"
July 13, 2011
A big thank you
"No questions. Just a big thank you and your team for the update to Ver 8 of the movie collector.I never knew that compiling a cataloge could be so easy. I will certainly pass the news on to my friends."
July 13, 2011
Love the enhancements!

Great job

July 13, 2011
"Just download v8 and am loving updating my catalog. The episodes for TV series and the trailers being added. i love it. It is so worth the upgrade price."
July 12, 2011
Love the new update
"I LOVE the new update. Thanks to everyone involved. I REALLY love the addition of the trailers. Again I thank you all. Oh yea, and the additional info on the TV Series is WONDERFUL!"July 12, 2011
Blown away
"it took only a few minutes after downloading Vee 8 to find myself blown away.The base line conversion of my existing data base was seamless but to get the new data uploaded i have to highlight a small portion of my collection and hit auto update. if i try the whole collect (8,000 discs) it stalls. except for that minor, one time inconvenience this update had actually succeed in placing the bar so far above anything out there they might as look for another project to work on.
The episodes guide it fantastic especially since i own a lot of complete series sets and it makes picking one to watch a breeze. thank you to the whole team for such a commitment to excellence."
July 12, 2011
Worth the upgrade
"Thanks for the new features! Been waiting FOREVER for the the ability to change icons, especially for the audio. Also the trailer, poster and new layout is awesome too.Worth the upgrade for sure!"
July 12, 2011
FANTASTIC
"I'm playing around with it now, FANTASTIC improvement on the TV side by the way, the episode info is KILLER!"July 12, 2011
SUPER upgrade
"Thanks guys for a SUPER upgrade. So much packed into this one. Best upgrade of them all!"July 12, 2011
The best out there

Saved me from duplicates
"I've been using your movie collector software for over six years and all I can say is job well done! Without it I would never be able to keep track of my dvd collection and your IPod application has saved me from making duplicate purchases on many occasions. Keep up the good work!"May 08, 2011
The feature of dual syncing
"Just a quick message to say thank god I purchased the Collectorz Connect software!My 5 month old laptop decided to pack up about 2 days ago, along with nearly 1,600 scanned movie barcodes stored on the collectorz movie software. I strongly urge EVERYBODY to purchase the Connect software, as I would be very upset if it wasn't for the feature of dual syncing!
THANK YOU COLLECTORZ TEAM!"
April 06, 2011
Well thought out product
"I am very happy with the Movie Collector software and am excited about the improvements you've made over the last several years.Our collection is just over 1,100 titles and we were able to catalog the entire collection in just one weekend with very few challenges. Thank you for an excellent, easy to use, well thought out product!"
April 05, 2011
I love it
"For some due praise, I love, love love Movie Collectorz.I have just finished loading 1,441 DVDs using the scanner and only on a few occasions did I have to go to the net to find the covers. My wife is very happy because now she can browse our collection and read the plot to find one that she is in the mood for.
I only have another 1,200 to go and you will not hear a complaint from me... I love it
Thank you guys so much for make life a little more exciting."
April 01, 2011
The service is great
"I have been a movie collector for nearly 25 years. It was very difficult to maintain my large collection of DVD's and Bluray disks. I was using Excel to do the job, but it just wasn't working for me. I found the Collectorz web site and used the trial software for a day or two and I was hooked. I purchased the Pro Edition and have never looked back. I was able to scan all of DVD's and Bluray's within hours using my Honeywell barcode scanner. I am impressed. The software is unbelievable. The service is great and so are the owners!!!"March 22, 2011
Great Product
"Thanks for making such a great product!I've got over 3,000 dvds and I've created a disc filing system that I could NEVER manage without your software.
PLUS the iphone/ipad app is fantastic for helping me NOT purchase duplicate dvds because I forgot that I already own it. "
March 18, 2011
All I can say is WOW!
"I have been using the Collectorz Movie software for about a month and all I can say is WOW!When you have as many movies as me and my wife do (1,559 so far) you have a lot of trouble keeping up with them. The worst part is when you go to the store and see a movie that you love, buy it, and get home and realize that you already have it.
Thanks for making this software, it is AWESOME and has already saved me at least as much as I spent on it!"
March 03, 2011
Superb program
"I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for your great software.I purchased your Movie Collector Software (for MAC) and a cuecat scanner. I plugged it into my MAC, and was up and ready to go in just a few minutes.
In less than 3 hours of work I had all my 200 DVD's cataloged. My older program which did not support the scanner feature has been scrapped, and this is now my choice for doing this. I am anxiously awaiting your Comic Collector for MAC and will purchase it as soon as it comes out.
Thanks for the good work and superb program.
Super Job!!
P.S. I have also purchased the Iphone App which will allow me to make sure I don't have a DVD next time I go Shopping. Great Tool."
February 23, 2011
Awesome
"We thought we had about 4-500 movies. It was impossible to remember what we have and if someone borrowed one, just cross your fingers that they brought it back. After I bought movie collector, with the handy dandy little scanner, I realize there are 1000 so far and a whole unit of dvd's still to go through, not to mention videodiscs, betamax, and vhs.That little scanner is awesome, and without it I never would have had the patience to compile a full list of movies, let alone be able to search for actors/directors/genre, etc"
February 01, 2011
Worth the price by itself
"As a collector with almost 2,800 movies, TV shows and concerts Movie collector is an invaluable tool in maintaining my collection. Add the fact that you can just scan the barcodes and input information automatically is worth the price by itself.What would have taken weeks of data entry was accomplished in a couple days with Movie Collector. Download the trial version and see for yourself.
Long live Collectorz.com."
January 29, 2011
Preventing the purchase of dups
"I am approaching the 4k mark of my movie collection. Having Collectorz is invaluable to knowing what is in my collection, locating the movie that I want when I want it, picking what to watch (by genre/actor/director, and from preventing the purchase of dups.And having the android app is a must. "
January 29, 2011
Best money I ever spent
"I have the OPN-2001. I got it the day I ordered my software 2 years ago.I got my 500+ DVD collection entered in about 2 hours and the portion of my book collection that had bar codes entered in about an hour.
Best money I ever spent.
I was able to scan everything without having to bring each item back to my desk. I highly recommend it to anyone with a large collection."
December 17, 2010
Happy
"I wanted to let you know how happy I am to finally see the scan and add feature. I have been a customer since version 5 and had used your software nearly everyday until one of my sticks of RAM decided to corrupt my movie collector database. I had stopped using your software for a few months as at the time I had roughly 650 digital copies of my movies and I really did not want to manually add them all again.Now I have over 700 and decided to check out what you have done with the software. To my surprise, version 7 introduced the scan and add feature, this feature has saved me countless hours of adding movies to my database. I added all 713 movies in a matter of a couple hours rather than days or weeks. The thing that took me the longest this time was just making sure the search grabbed the correct movie and even that was quick and painless.
Another thing I would like to add is being a previous customer, this is the first time I purchased the pro version and I can say that I will not be going back to the standard version as the integration with Windows Media Center is beautiful. I use a Media PC on my home theater system and have actually never used Windows Media Center, though now that I have seen first hand how well it can work when there is data for each movie I will now be using it on a regular basis.
Thank you so much for adding the scan and add feature, I can open up movie collector again and have all the movie covers and details and now I don't have to scroll through a boring folder with all my movie files. My friends also appreciate that there are details for each movie again, it is quite hard to pick something to watch when you just have a folder filled with over 700 movies and no details on them.
Thank you!! "
December 06, 2010
I may be your biggest fan!
"I went on a shopping frenzy this year. I've found MANY incredible sales on DVDs (mostly used) and I actually bought almost 2000 DVDs this year. It's not uncommon to buy 10 to 20 discs in one day.At one sale (two stores going out of business) I bought 130 DVDs in one day! (At $1 a piece!) There's no way I could have managed so many new arrivals in such short order without your program. It's been invaluable to my collecting.
I tell everyone it was obviously designed by people who understand collecting because it has every piece of information a collector would want to know or enter.
I may be your biggest fan. And on top of that, all this wonderful, personal service from you. (I even tried to encourage one of my retailers to carry your software. But he felt it would be just as easy, and cheaper, for his customers to buy direct from you. -- But they need to know about it first.)
Your ipod application I tell people is my favorite application on the planet! It is essential for me to take whereever I shop to see if I already have a title.
I also bought your Music Collector. One of these days I'll tackle THAT other extensive collection of mine. As slow as work as been (I'm a freelance video editor - produced a lot of bonus features for Disney DVDs, in fact) you'd think I'd have the time. But I guess my "spare time" this year has been spent shopping!
I had to buy a new video projector a year ago. I went overboard and bought a very high-end machine (SIM 2). DVDs now look so great, the projector just sits up on the ceiling, and like Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors, says, "Feed me. FEED ME!""

By far the best yet!
"I have been using this program for about 5 years now. The latest version is by far the best yet ! So easy to use, and seamless integration through to my IPod Touch.I had been looking around for years to find a program like this, and now here it is !
Even some of my rare movies are found with ease on your database.
Tech support guys are quick to respond and very helpful (If you do need help).
Keep up the good work guys ! You truly have an amazing program!

So Simple
"Your software program has been a God send.Thank you so much it has made the task of sorting my husband's ( grumpy old man that he is) 1,001 :) DVDs so simple. We now know exactly what is in the collection and are no longer overwhelmed by trying to search for titles when we want to watch a movie.
Now I need to sort his CDs, probably about 1,000 of them also.
Thank God I am retired and have the time to do this, it's great to have all the DVDs in pouches now and not taking up so much room in the house. The hallway was full, now I can move the furniture if I need to leave in a hurry!... LOL "

Off the charts!
"Just wanted you guys to know that I received my Scanner Package along with Movie Collectorz Pro Version Disc Monday, 9 Aug 2010 and I was pleasantly surprised at how efficient the two products work together.
I had my entire library of DVD's organized in the software in a matter of 45 mins or so!
The software is great and the scanner is outstanding! On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate your products a 20!!! (off the charts!)
Keep up the good work!"

easy to use & simple to follow
"Collectorz team!First let me say I have been searching for sometime now for a better way to ensure that I don't repurchase DVD's I already own. I have a collection of DVD's and Bluerays of well over 2000 titles so remembering them is getting hard! I found this program while searching for a video store system thinking that was the only way I would be able to keep track of what titles I have and who I have loaned them to friend wise.
The software is a amazing, it's easy to use and simple to follow. I am amazed at how very little time it takes for a newbie to pick it up and run with creating a list. I now have all my movies listed and with the added iPhone app CLZ Movies, I can now ensure that I take my collection list everywhere I go!
The communication from the Collectorz team has been second to none, making me feel like I not only purchased a great functioning software I am part of a greater community. I have no hesitation in recommending this awesome software bundle to anyone, it not only saves you money (from repurchasing titles) it saves you time (taking them back to the store because you already own them!)
Look forward to the next release guys! Keep up the great work!"

A Real Boon
"I have been a fan of movies and tv shows since I can remember, and when I started collecting dvds 5yrs. ago, the Collectorz program helped in a major way to organize it all.I now have over 4,000 movies and 100 tv shows, and this program has been a real boon for me!"

Practicle and Easy
"Running the movie software now for about 2 years and I can say like everybody here that it is practicle and easy. I even started a file of all the movies I've seen and on paper I counted already over 300 movies (series + episodes excluded).When somebody asks me if I know a database-program for catalogin movies, books, music or comics, I know what to recomend.
COLLECTORZ.COM all the way."

Great and Practical Software
"I am an avid DVD collector with over 3,000 DVDs. Couldn't magage my collection without Movie Collectorz (since 2003).I also include my VHS Tapes, Blu-Rays & Laser Discs. It is so flexiable and easy to use. With four different video storage locations in my home, Collectorz is the only way for me to know exactly where each title is located.
Great & practical software guys."
April 28, 2010
A Great Organizer
"You have been wonderful.You've always answered my questions--even if they were non-sensical.
You have been prompt and exact.
I have been a loyal purchasser of your software--probably bought the first system you published. It is a great organizer, and, of course by now, I know pretty well how to organize what I want listed.
Yeah! for the good guys."

Can't Wait To Get Started
"Just discovered this program and can't wait to get started!!!I can FINALLY organize my Collection of Movies. Not to mention all of the Games for 3 Teenage Boys! Thought I was doing good keeping my dvd titles in alphabetical order.
This is MUCH better! How did I ever manage without it?"

Does What It Says

A Breeze
"I am using the Movie, Music and Book Collector softwares and have all three on my IPod Touch.These are great software that help me to catalog what's in each of my library and I can see at a glance on my Ipod Touch what I have already so I do not duplicate it.
Cataloging over 1,275 movies was a breeze with the Opticon scanner."

I Really Enjoy It

Keep Me From Buying Duplicates
"I LOVE Collectorz's Movie Collector and the Clz Movie app!Not only does it keep me from buying duplicate movies, I can also find any movie in my 1,000 plus collection in seconds!"
March 29, 2010
So Simple
"I have Movie and Book collector - and still uploading...I love finding the movie and book and adding it - so simple... I also love how I can "loan out" and know Who has got What - and When they took it...
Last year I found that I had "lost" 4 movies - from the previous year - lending them out and not getting them ...back.. of course everyone I asked did not have them.
Very expensive lesson - Thank you Collectorz for enabling me to take control..."
March 29, 2010
The Best Thing
"The best thing Movie Collector did for me was free up space. By getting rid of the jewel boxes and using the index field to locate the DVD I want in a hanging file folder, I have my entire 600 movie collection stored in 4 drawers instead of occupying all the space on 4 walls."March 29, 2010
Paid For Itself
"I use Collectorz for my movie collection. I have around 800 movies. This wonderful database paid for itself the first week shopping and was able to check (via blackberry) what I already had in my collection.It's great to know I will no longer buy duplicate movies!"
March 29, 2010
Outstanding Program

March 13, 2010
Fantastic Program
"As I near 5,000 [yea five THOUSAND] DVD movies in my collection, I can't imagine how else I could have kept track of all of these titles without Movie Collector.This is a fantastic program !"

Beyond My Expectations
"I purchased the Movie Collector this weekend and am extremely pleased with it's capabilities, especially based on the price. This product went well beyond my expectations in features and ease of use.
We current have about 50 duplicate movies since our collection was so disorganized, so this will not only be great for finding movies, but will save money at the store by eliminating the duplicate purchases!
Thanks!

Excellent Work!!
" I want to tell you that MOVIE COLLECTOR IS FANTASTIC!! It is far away and above any of the competitor products! They cannot compare to you. Believe me, I know. Over the last year or so, I have tried every solution that I could find for storing my DVD library and sharing that information with my iPhone, and none of them worked worth a damn.Using UPC codes is critical, in my opinion, since that gives you the exact results for the DVD that you own, and Movie Collector is the ONLY app that I've tested that works easily and completely with imported UPC codes. A Title search gives you only the basic info, not specific to your DVD, unless you want to comb through the dozens and dozens of Title results to find the correct one. (By the way, the Symbol scanner that I have on my system works perfectly with your software.)
When your revised Clz Movies app became available, I finally went ahead and tried Movie Collector. OMG!! What a beautifully designed piece of software, both on the desktop and for the iPhone.
Then, when I exported my Movie Collector db to the iPhone, it worked perfectly the FIRST TIME, and the resulting database on the iPhone is a complete pleasure to use. All very well designed and seamless between desktop and iPhone. As I have done a lot of programming myself, I really appreciate your fine work.
Anyway, once again, Excellent Work!! "
