Whether this is economically feasible depends on your perspective. Indeed it does. Based on my collection, counting BDs only, I would have to spend an additional $1000 just for the storage. I haven't looked into it so I don't know what other software/hardware would need to be purchased, not to mention the added electrical costs, the cost of maintaining backups, etc. Seems like a lot of wasted time and money...time and money better spent on other things...just so I don't have to get up and put the disc into the player.

G'day,
I like your program. I don't mind paying for it. And I like it more than the product from collectorz.com (mostly because I don't like the owners attitude over there, and the way he replied to my sales enquiries ('look it up on the website!'...). And since business and sales is mostly a case of wanting to give a good business man your business, he is out. Good business starts with proper manners :D
Anyway, it seems your product doesn't scan the movies on my hard drives / servers / network shares. That appears to be a big ommission, especially in this time and age of downloading movies instead of buying them physically in the store. For sure I am not the first one to ask this, but I'll ask it anyway: so how do the current users of your product solve this problem? I have 9500 movies on my servers (next to a couple of hundred of DVDs in my closet), I can't be expected to type this movies in manually, right? Do you all have some workaround for this? (The dude from Collectorz can scan hdd's, and Eric's movie database also can, as can media master, so it shouldn't be that difficult.)
This problem is keeping me from purchasing your product right now, so I really do hope that somebody will reply that there is a workaround for it, because then I will buy your product.
Thanks in advance for any replies,
Bye, You have over 9500 legal digital copies? Wow! |

But with your offer I might have to pay you a lot of money for a custom built solution, and as much as I do appreciate your offer, I don't want to invest much money in this topic. I find it odd that you can afford 9500 digital copies and the necessary hardware infrastructure but you don't want to invest very much to be able to import your 9500 copies.  Well, I guess you could always do it by hand which is free, I suppose, assuming your time isn't worth much. There are always trade offs one must consider to determine the cheapest solution. |

So, a 3TB drive could hold at least 500 DVDs or 100 or so BDs. Yes, I know my math, but I just wanted to know how Skippo and people "with collection like his" handle the storage issues at the moment. ~21000 movies is a lot. Or could there be a possibility that Skippo just exaggerated a bit again? |

Or could there be a possibility that Skippo just exaggerated a bit again? I am not sure where you got the 21,000 number from, as Skip's profile page lists 4,588. As for how he handles the storage issues, according to previous posts, he has his entire collection in storage. I take that to mean, in boxes in a storage unit. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I am not sure where you got the 21,000 number from, as Skip's profile page lists 4,588. He said that he's collection would take 125TB. My point was, that again he's pulling the numbers without any logic. |

My post was a stream of consciousness style rambling. I started out simply to refer you to a prior discussion, then started calculating on the fly, and got a number consistent with Skip's, based on my assumption that he had in the neighborhood of 6000 DVDs. Whether that is affordable is a personal matter. | | | Thanks for your support.
