Adding a movie
Importing your movie into the database never has been easier. Simply adding a movie title you can then click the search button for all the movie information to be downloaded automatically!

Moving on, the Additional tab you can then add addition information about the video details such as resolution, file size, codec information, and so on.


On the Media info, you'll be able to setup a way to track and list your movies easily. You can specify the type of media your movie is on(i.e. VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, CD, etc..), media count, create a label, and location.

After you have added your first movie you will begin to see how easy it is to create your database, and in no time have your entire collection cataloged! After you have completed your database catalog it is a quick and simple process of updating your database with new movies that you acquire. No need to spend hours adding just a few entries!

You can take custom screenshots directly from your movie!
With All My Movies you are able to capture your favorite moments directly from the video and store them in the database. The screenshot below shows this feature. Seek the video file using the slider and click the "Save screenshot" button to save the frame into the database.


Sharing your collection database with friends
Now you have an easy way to share your movie collection database with your friends. With All My Movies you are able to export your collection to HTML using any template you like. Furthermore, you can create your own templates. The screenshot below shows the selection of the template and previews result page. After such export you can upload your collection to your home page.

You can also export your movie collection as a Microsoft excel file, a PDF file, and many other portable formats for easy transfer. You can even print your movie collection using your printer and any template you want!

Loaning movies
Do your friends borrow your movies from time to time? Is it hard to keep up with who has what, and how long they have had it? Well, now with All My Movies you can keep track with the loaning manager!
Simply click on the checkbox near the movie title in the movie list and this will display a popup window with an area you can type a name and the amount of days you intend on loaning the movie.

If you have loaned a movie it will be shown with a checked checkbox. To mark a movie returned just click on the checkbox again. Its that simple!

 Movie Card Layouts
You have several movie card templates to choose from that will change the overall look of how your movie description will appear. Some of the included templates are alternative, lite gray, modern, and standard. You don't have to settle for 1 look and style, take your pick, or even make your own!

Movie List Views
Sorting your movies is simple, and you can keep them arranged in several different ways. You can sort them by title, date added, movie number, or rating.
You can also group the movies by first title's letter, media type, media label, media location, first genre, year, director, country, aspect ratio, or studio. This is very helpful for arranging your movies in a list that suits your needs and also helps you find your movies faster.
Also, there is a nice virtual shelf view and a cover thumbnail view if you wish to have a visual list instead of text.



My Thoughts
Spending less time organizing your movies, and more time watching them is great news. During my use with All My Movies I have not encountered any frustrations creating a database and maintaining it. It is simple enough for anyone to use, but is feature-rich for a power-user to enjoy as well. Being able to export a database to a portable file for friends to view on their PC is excellent and simple to do. There are some useful plugins to extend the programs functionality as well, I found the manual search plugin's interface a bit cumbersome, nevertheless, it gets the job done. 
The program doesn't take long at all to get familiar with so spending a short amount of time learning the main features will be all that's needed by most users.
