| Posted: | | | | I have more than 1000 DVDs and BluRays. But nowadays, with streaming becoming more and more popular, I buy occasionally a movie from a streaming service (e.g. Amazon) when they are on sale. As I am getting older and the collection just keeps growing, it gets harder to remember which films I already own or which ones I have seen at the theatre . What are your techniques to keep track of those only movies in addition to the DVD/BR collection? Do you add them to DVD Profiler - if so, how? Do you ignore them? Track them somewhere else? |

| Posted: | | | | I only own a handful of streaming purchases at this point, so don't feel much need to catalog them at this point.
You could always create a "custom category" and add them manually within the Profiler program. | | | Corey |

| Posted: | | | | I don't purchase online rights (too old for such virtual goods), but I manage various other materials, I download or converted from other media. I download the nearest online profile from Invelos and replace the media type with various custom types, which indicate the source of the media: TV, VHS, ... - This also prevents me from contributing such fake profiles... | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |

| Posted: | | | | Best advice is to download the same title from Invelos you saw on streaming.. ( doesn't matter at this point the exact upc code .. ) and then add 'said title' to your wish list and in the studio menu -category I add the option of i.e. amazon or net flicks, showtime , HBO etc etc., and then add the exact date i saw the title.. and of course depending on the title if its really good ( and the day may come) you would add that title to your library rate it accordingly ..
There are many times if a title is repeated months later on another channel and you can't remember if you saw it .. this is the best way to bring that up ..
... I also use this method of watched if I'm sitting in my office and say.. Lawrence of Arabia is playing in HD on your favorite movie channel.. and you watch 60% of it .. I'll mark it as being watched on that day.. just because I didn't take out the blue ray/dvd of the same title and play it in my player doesn't mean It can't me marked as "watched" ... | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.
