Blu-ray Database Software - catalog your Blu-ray collection

Wow, two "dot" upgrades in a row moved me to send a thanks. the last one was adding the cool transparent "flex" detail view and removing the painful interruption of the "add to collection or wish list" box.

this one has two little pet peeves also fixed!
1. no way to show movies watched on amazon or other streaming.
2. "blu-ray disc" format to just blu-ray! what a p.i.t.a. this was to have to change it EVERY single time I added a movie!

See, I don't even have to complain about something and you fix it. Cheers! — Tim K (USA) on Movie Collector

Alwin, et al.,
I just wanted to commend you on Movie Collector v19.1.3. You added features that I was just thinking about. I recently switched from buying disc to almost exclusively buying digital-only versions. I was a little frustrated that I could not accurately reflect that in my collection and started to figure out a work around. Lo and behold, you read my mind and now I don't have to implement the work around.
Also, I have been recategorizing my collection with 'Blu-ray' for years. It's great that you finally caught up to me!
Keep up the great work. Thanks. — Philip Chu (USA) on Movie Collector

Great organising tool love the fact you can scan in dvd / Blu-ray via barcode. — Tom Davis on CLZ Movies

I have just started scanning in my Blu-ray and DVD collection and so far it has been a seamless experience. Great app, especially with the cloud sync feature across devices. Highly recommend. — Rohan Sharma on CLZ Movies

I've been a customer for a LONG LONG time. Have 735 DVD/Blurays and your software has saved me from buying same disc twice! — Don Cox on CLZ Movies

I come from a family of cinema-philes. With four people in the house, all collecting movies from to suit four different tastes, it can be difficult to keep track of what we have and what we don't. On more than a few occasions we have purchased a DVD or Blu-ray from a "Bargain-Bin" only to discover that we already own a copy. Now we just look at our phones and know what we have and what we don't. When combined with the desktop companion program this app is an amazing time saver. — Jack Vogel on CLZ Movies

This software is perfect for cataloging DVDs, Blu-ray discs, records, books, CDs, all with a barcode reader!!! You load on to your computer, use their cloud service!! Highly recommended!!! — Yale Guy1989 on CLZ Movies

Great tool for cataloguing my collection of blurays and dvds. Has proved invaluable for a multitude of scenarios. — Anthony Fleming on CLZ Movies

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

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 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

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

i love how you only pay once i was using a different app and had to pay everytime i updated my phone or if my daughter deleted it by accident this app has a lot of movie info you can change the background you can add manually the only flaw i experienced is when you scan some dvds it will come up as bluray and vice versa but it is easy fixed so not a major drama overall best movie app i've used i can't wait to have the time to scan my whole Collection. — A Google user on CLZ Movies

Love this app had everything I need for my 3000 strong DVD/bluray collection! — Alison Jones on CLZ Movies

Love it. This app is the only app I have spent money to unlock to get the full app. I had a large number of dvd and blue rays. This keeps me from buy 3 or 6 of the same movie !! — Laurie Boyken on CLZ Movies

Put my first 3 uk discs on. One old dvd, one brand new blu and one oldish dvd. All recognised. All with info and pics. Seems perfect. Once i get to 100, as long as no probs, i will pay for full version. Well worth it. — Steven Grace on CLZ Movies

This app has been a useful tool for keeping track of my purchased DVD and blue ray collection. I recommend it. — jonzie008 on CLZ Movies

I bought it for my dad. I am cataloging all his movies. I can do this on my Android phone and he will see it on his Apple phone. I love that I can scan a DVD, a Blu-ray, or a VHS and it knows what they all are. I am at G and already have over 370 movies. This is making my job so much easier. I also love the summaries and the trailers on here. I looked at a several different apps to do this and this one was the best I found. I would definitely recommend it. — Kelsey Jones on CLZ Movies

Had a mess of Dvd and Blueray to the point of not watching movies since didn't know where to find them. It took me a while to organise everything but now I have everything catalogued and easy to find. Love the app interface as well. — A Google user on CLZ Movies

Bought the movie pro package today and this is the most incredibly simple way to catalogue your movies! Typed in a fair few titles and finished off by scanning the DVDs and Blu-Rays using my iPhone. It couldn't be any easier to do. This is the most amazing movie cataloging software I have ever seen!!! — Gary Roberton (United Kingdom) on Movie Collector

Simply put, it keeps track of my 3500+ collection of DVDs and Blurays. Its browse features make it fun to search for exactly the film I want to watch. And it nimbly accommodates my numbered storage system. When used in conjunction with the full-featured desktop application, it cannot be beat. — RDSquires on CLZ Movies

Great software, I have pc, android and iOS versions for all apart from comic. Love it, great to use and organise. I have about 1000 dvd/bluray in my collection. — Dave Stears (United Kingdom) on Movie Collector

A friend and customer suggested CLZ to me quite a few years back. I started using it for my video collection of 3500 to 4000 pieces, VHS, DVD and BluRay. Still gathering my collection together, but it has been immensely helpful in saving me from purchasing duplicates in the same format. With the mobile app and cloud storage, it has become even more of a must-have tool.
I highly recommend Movie Collectorz for anyone who wants to keep track of their collection and prevent duplicate buying. With the mobile app there are no more bulky printouts to drag around and the camera works as a scanner so you can add new purchases immediately. Insurance companies will either love or hate you as you now have an accurate list of your movies. There are also features for lending titles to friends and family, so you know what is not with you at any time. Check it out, it is well worth the investment!
Now on to comics and books. Ah, the Collectorz life. — Brad Browatzke (Canada) on Movie Collector

Best app ever in My opinion. Have 4500 dvd's and blu-ray catalogued so far. Works perfectly and it's getting even better with the frequent updates with new functionality — Michael Yngman (Sweden) on Movie Collector

After my house was flooded by Hurricane Mathew last October, I was forced to face boxes of my DVDs/Blu-Rays that I packed up before the water reached them & stored them in higher levels in my house, garage, etc. Months later after all my downstairs was repaired, I faced those boxes & the need to organize the videos back on shelves.
I was lucky enough to discover this app and it was perfect for this chore. The scanning feature for the barcodes was extremely helpful, although I soon found many in my collection that weren't in their database, that I had to add, including adding a photo of the unique addition that I had that didn't match their photos. 1500+ titles later and I was done!
Now I just add new ones incrementally and I no longer end up buying ones I already own! — Frank Wilson (USA) on Movie Collector

Hurricane Mathew forced me to get my DVD/Blu-Ray collection above the flood level. — Frank Wilson (USA) on Movie Collector

I brought this program for my pc and phone it is an amazing program to help you keep track of your DVD and blu ray collection. The mobile version is great for when buying you can make sure you don't double up and it doesn't take much space on your phone. I highly recommend this for any collector out there. — mlucus on CLZ Movies

With an extensive blu-ray collection it's easy to see if I've got this movie already when I'm being a lemon in the shops! — A Google user on CLZ Movies

Finally a way to catalog my hundreds of DVDs and Blu-rays. Simple interface. Just scan and add. Love this app. — woodyw on CLZ Movies

Had this AWESOME software for quite a few years now worth every penny in subscriptions to keep track of over 400 titles constantly growing in size would recommend this to anyone who has a large collection of DVD and Blu-Ray films wouldn't be without it!!! — Carl Hare (United Kingdom) on Movie Collector
