Movie Database Software - catalog your DVD / Blu-ray collection

I just wanted to say thank you. thank you for your program it's amazing. you guys are so helpful as well letting me know all my answers to my questions.
I don't know many collectors but when I do hear someone that has a collection even on facebook the groups I've joined I put them onto your website every time. thank you — David Mckendry (USA) on Movie Collector

Thank you very much for the improvement in the boxed set (anthology) department. Up to now I,ve had to enter each film individually myself. Now when I scan it to my database the films all go in automatically. I have over 200 boxed sets (anthologies) from 4 films to 250 films, this new system will allow me more easily put these collections into my database. Excellent system, I love your programs.
The thing is that when I started using your database it was far superior to any others I used. It was very complete and stored all my information very satisfactorily. However, you keep improving all the time and it gets better and better. Please, keep up the excellent work. I am nearing 10,000 entries and still have quite a bit to go.
Keep up the excellent work. — Dave Whiting (USA) on Movie Collector

I'm not a huge reviewer of things and stay off of social media sites which is probably due to my age, but Collectorz.com for Movies is such amazing software that I felt compelled to write my first review.
My wife and I started collecting movies about 25-30 years ago and almost 10 years ago, I started using Collectorz.com because our collection was getting hard to track. We aren't very PC savvy so it took a while to decide on software to use and Collectorz.com fit the bill exactly. Extremely user friendly and very thoughtfully designed, it has made tracking our collection, which is now approaching 2500 DVD/Blu-ray's, an enjoyable experience.
I must say I'm a little behind on adding new movies to the tune of about 500, which is totally on my lazy self & not the software, but I'm actually looking forward to catching up on my inventory.
Collectorz.com is absolutely, hands down, the best collector software available and I would recommend this software to everyone!!
Thank you COLLECTORZ.COM! — Lacy Flora (USA) on Movie Collector

Simply the best app (and companion program for PC (and Mac) that exists to catalog your movie collection. And the programs to catalog other items, such as books, comic books, and music are also top notch. Kudos & thanks to the developers, keep up the great work! — Matthew Haslett on CLZ Movies

Very good program. I've used for about 5 years now. Last week I had to reload my windows and it took my apps away. I could not get to Collectorz and felt devastated having lost the record to almost 900 movies.
I contacted Collectorz and they walked me through the restoration steps. Terrific customer service considering I had not upgraded for years. Now I have a new subscription and the knowledge that folks who care about a good product are standing behind their customers.
The new subscription was my idea not theirs. — Mike Lawson (USA) on Movie Collector

Thanks for these amazing programs, just wished they existed and I knew about them 15+ years ago when I was trying to keep track of my VHS and DVD collection in a Excel list. — Glenn Kvelland (Norway) on Movie Collector

Enjoy being able to keep a record of movies my family owns. — Carl Govan Jr on CLZ Movies

Most items can be easily found with a barcode. — Brion McGlothan on CLZ Movies

As a longtime user of your products, I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you for constantly improving all your products. Your team spirit and esprit de corps comes through all the time. — Guruka Singh (USA) on Movie Collector

I love this app. It’s very user friendly and has almost essential tools to catalogue your movie database. Still some features missing compared to the pc software.. but no problem ..it’s the best of all ..thank you. — Arunkmv on CLZ Movies

The best movie database ever. — phawita dattani on CLZ Movies

Excellent app! — Dave Ladner on CLZ Movies

Great if you have a lot of movies. — David Beach on CLZ Movies

Awesome app to organize your movie library! — Richard J. Oles Jr. on CLZ Movies

App has been updated to give you a choice of adding a box set as one entry or each film individually making it a much better experience. Good job guys! — AD Vee on CLZ Movies

I have been using Movie, book, music, and game Collectorz databases since version 3 and I could not be happier with all the improvements and innovations they have added over the years (18-20). Then the mobile app came out crossing over to my PC, and they made me somehow even happier.
Now the clz cloud allowing the easy updating of my databases on the fly, and the steady stream of improvements to this app is outstanding. Thanks Alwin & crew! — Christopher Ross on CLZ Movies

Fantastic app nice new icon looks great. — playsport on CLZ Movies

I just want to start out with how much I love this program for so many reasons. I started using it after I kept renting the same movies over and over every time I went to my local video store. I would see so many movies and after a while, I would routinely mix them up and re-rent them. Costing me more money than needed to enjoy all those movies out there.
I had been using your software for my comics and decided that maybe the movie program could be helpful and save me some money at the same time. So I gave the sample program a try. That was more than 5 years ago and now over 4000 movies. I love getting the notices of updates because there is something always interesting that you guys have developed that I didn't even know I needed or an update that fixes little bugs that get ironed out.
I have seen many changes in how the collection software you guys offer has evolved since 1st trying out your free trial software and am hooked. I love entering my collection into your software and you seem to make it easier and more interesting every year. I never rent the same movie twice since I started using your excellent program and have found that no matter how many movies I have in my collection I have no fear that your program can keep up with me.
I look forward to seeing all the new ways you keep improving your collection software and I really appreciate the discount offers you give every so often. I'd like to give 5 stars plus rating for how great your programs are and how quickly there are updates if any issues arise.
Cheers to many more years of our continuous relationship. — Brian Rempel (USA) on Movie Collector

Great for keeping track of what movies I have in my collection. — ann strangward on CLZ Movies

Great way to organize your movies, definitely worth the money. No more buying movies I already have. — A Google user on CLZ Movies

Awesome app! — Bfauble54 on CLZ Movies

This actually works for adding my Laserdisc! — Brandon Callihan on CLZ Movies

In 2004, The New York Times ran an article in their “Circuits” section called “I Don’t Rent. I Own.” The article described how DVD’s by the hundreds filled movie buff’s shelves. At that time, there were 27,000 DVDs to choose from. You see, the logic was simple. The making of a movie can cost millions of dollars, commits the talents of hundreds of individuals, the dedication of thousands of hours of blood, sweat and tears....and you can own it for the price of a cheap dinner. Like the collectors featured in this article, I think about movies a lot. I think about the full movie, with its themes and big messages; I think about individual scenes that haunt your memories in the middle of night; I think about obscure movies from my childhood; and I think about actors – some preserved forever on film. Over the years, my obsession with movies has led me to ask a simple question. What if I could be like one of those collectors? What if, at any time of day or night, I could see this movie. Hold it in my hands, put it on a shelf and always have a piece of something bigger. What if I think of a film and 5 minutes later I could be watching it…because I own it? Although I subscribed to Netflix then, I hated renting movies – a carry over from my hate of library books. I wanted to own the whole movie, always, and forever. In 2004, I dreamt of a world where you could own 27,000 DVDs.

At first, it started with just a couple of movies. Some that just looked really good on the screen – Hell Boy (#1), some that I always wanted to own – Big Night (#2)….some that my kids could watch over and over again – Air Bud (#14). (Side note, kids are the number one best way to get a spouse to agree to buying a movie). Then, the dam broke. Around 2009, the Hollywood Video store in our town was going out of business and they put all their movies on sale. This was like locking an addict in a pharmacy for the night. Staring at all the films with $3 and $5 dollar price tags…I began to see a bigger mission. I started thinking that I could build a collection and leave behind a legacy. Now I wanted to own all the movies that ever had an impact on my life. The films that scared me, made me laugh, made me cry….the movies that gave me direction. I wanted to own whole genres of films. Like a Last Will and Testament, this was going to be a collection that I could leave to my kids, like a digital message, that would live on after me. A collection that my kids could see and say, “these movies were what made my dad who he was”. Instead, I came home with about 40 films and my wife and kids looked at me like I had lost my mind. It was also on this night that I almost purchased a movie I already owned…

On August 20th, 2009, I paid about $25 to a company called Bitz & Pixelz for their cataloging program Collectorz. By this time, I had about 125 movies. Amazon was constantly putting movies on sale – Father’s Day Sale, Summer Sale, etc. Movies like Batman Begins (#45), Blade Runner (#62) and Casablanca (#82) were easily available. Every week, I would get e-mails about “This Week’s Hot New Releases”…. I was hooked. Logging movies into Collectorz became a weekly ritual. I’d think long and hard about which films would take up coveted spots in the collection – Riddick (#100), Hair (#200) and transformers 2 (#500). By the time Captain America came out in 2011, I had hit 1000 movies.

About a month ago, Avengers Infinity War became number 2000. My friends all have links to my Collectorz collection on their phones and I sync my collection across my home computer and all my devices. I travel a lot, so often on a late night flight, I’ll bring up my collection just to look at the cover art, read the plots and peruse the list actors, producers and actors. Many a Friday night, there will be a group of my kid’s friends huddled around the computer perusing the collection for a movie to watch – “sort by action”, “no, romance”….”don’t be crazy, comedy” – can be heard over the mouse clicks. Collectorz, being a one stop shop for the collection, triggers someone to ask to see the trailer, or ask “who stars in that one?”

I dread the day that they stop making Blu-Ray films. I love receiving the movie, holding it in my hands, logging it into my Collectorz catalog….and filing it on my shelf. In fact, some films are still in their wrapper - My wife and I joke that this will be our retirement. Fourteen years ago, I started something I hope I’ll never finish…and Collectorz is logging every step of this journey. — Damien Cohen (USA) on Movie Collector

I stumbled upon CLZ to organise my extensive collection. It has kept me organised and has stopped me from buying many duplicates. LOL. But back to the app, the ability to be able to change information in certain fields makes the app yours truly and it allows you to have it look like you want it to look like. Best movie app on the App Store and I’m sure it’s sister apps (comic books, books, music, games and Barry) would be the same. I have Barry and it ‘s brilliant. On the rare occasion you need to contact support, they respond very fast and will do everything that they can to help. Thanks for such a brilliant app Alvin!!! — adk431 on CLZ Movies

I began collecting blu-rays when everybody else did I guess....when the PS4 first came out in 2006. I had a modest collection of DVD's at the time, but to me, blu-rays were the ultimate in quality picture & sound. Within the next 3 years I owned over 300 discs. Then the worst happened, I got divorced and lost half of some of my favorite titles.
By 2011, I had a girlfriend, another home and began to renew my collecting of BD titles. By 2014 I had over 1000 bd discs, and had replaced most of my DVD collection with updated BD discs. It seemed daily I was getting a delivery from Amazon or Walmart of multiple discs, Christmas was nearly a daily occurrence for me. Well, I may have a superior memory but it became impossible to remember a thousand titles and where they were located.
I began to search for the BEST archival software to arrange my collection. I actually started with a competitor (MM) but their SW required Windows Server, and many of their "updates" either removed or had glitches to features I really enjoyed. If something happened and you had to re-load your database through their server, the larger the collection, the slower the process. When I switched to Windows 10, they had an update that required to re-load the database again from their server....which was NEVER up-to-date. As a result I lost a lot of titles and work to personalize for me.
I began to search elsewhere not only for a functional archival SW similar to what I was using before, but one that DIDN'T require additional software downloads and updates similar to Windows Server. When I discovered Collectorz.com and the Movie Collector software, I found the perfect replacement. Not only are there many customizable options that are both user friendly and user intuitive, but I can actually SHARE my collection with family members. So when they ask, "Hey, can I borrow XXXXXXX to watch over the weekend, I know right where to find it!"
Now recently, I switched to the web-based Movie Connect browser format as opposed to having to download and update software versions. Its a lot like the Movie Collector software with less options....but I'm sure these will be added in the weeks to come.
Now I really haven't had to use support for too many issues, maybe 1 or 2 in the past year and a half I've been using the service. But all the contacts I've had have been quick and timely answers. Certainly a huge plus to continue with this company. I feel like I've been welcomed and appreciated here! — Thomas J. Ritter (USA) on Movie Collector

This is one of the best programs out there to catalog your collections. It is available on both Windows and Mac. Sure there are other programs but they are only available for Windows. If you are a Mac user fear not this is the program for you. It's fast and easy and very customizable. Pair it with your favorite mobile device and you have your collection with you on the go. I would say it's the best value on the market for cataloging your collections. — Keith Longley (USA) on Movie Collector

It's the best way for me to catalog all of my movies by far. — Jeffery Ferguson on CLZ Movies

Incredibly useful and time saving app! I couldn't be happier! — D. Hammond on CLZ Movies

I'll tell you...it has been a long and tiring road trying to organize my audio and video collection! Back when I had 1,275 videos (including VHS, DVD and Blu-ray), I had them all barcoded with labels I would manually create out of Microsoft Word and have them listed in an Excel then Access database. But it was never the same, as everything had to be entered in manually - which royally sucks. The time I spent on adding them, I never got around to entering in main actors, year, directors or even year....it was a clusterschmuck!
Then I found Collectorz.com and I was in pure Heaven! I love how I can have all of the information that's listed in the CLZ cloud/library in my database - now I have well over 2,985 videos (DVD's and Blu-ray's only) and I cherish the software and the company who makes it!
I can't thank you enough! — Timothy R. Barre (USA) on Movie Collector

As a senior I have very limited computer skills, and, navigating some software programs can be very difficult for me; However, I've been using Movie Collectorz for many years to catalog my almost 11,000 movie collection.
If not for your wonderful staff s help and support I would never have been able to enjoy all of its features. I recently switched to the Movie Connect database and I love it even more. — Gary Jennings (USA) on Movie Collector
