An application that will help you catalog and manage your video collections CATVids is a powerful database program designed to help you catalog and manage your video collection.
CATVids works very well with all types of media, including DVDs, VHS tapes, and Laserdiscs.
CATVids will keep track of not only your pre-recorded media, but also movies, television programs and home videos which you record.
Using CATVids you can quickly catalog your movies by downloading information from the Internet Movie Database.
Designed for the Windows environment, CATVids is comprehensive, intuitive, and easy to use.
CATVids has a comprehensive set of data fields, enabling you to catalog a wide range of information: title, media format, release year, publisher, purchase date and price, current value, region, special features, production year, studio, rating, director, writer, cast and characters, synopsis, tape counter, recording speed, recording date, personal rating, keywords, and more.
Other features include unlimited number of records, custom data fields, a loan module, flexible searching, a report designer, more than 90 pre-defined reports and a HTML generator.
