DVDLibraryTool
Current Version : 1.0.6.2
The clevertechnologies DVDLibraryTool is a one-stop fix for organising your Media Center DVD library.
Full feature list and DVD Library Software comparison here.
DVDLibraryTool allows you to add correct DVDIDs to your DVD Library. This means that Media Center DVD Library will display the same cover art, synopsis and chapter information that is displayed when you insert a DVD.
DVDIDs can be added to your DVD Library either from the original DVD or from www.DVDXML.com either automatically if you are an API member or otherwise by hand.
If you have AnyDVD installed you can add DVDs to your library with the correct DVDID with a single click.
If you already have a large DVD Library that does not already include DVDIDs then you can add DVDIDs from www.DVDXML.com to your entire library with a single click.
For DVDs in your library where you can not obtain a DVDID you can edit the information stored for that DVD by hand or download information including synopsis and cover art from either Amazon or IMDB.
Organising your Media Center DVD Library has never been so easy!

You may download a trial version of the software here which can be activated by purchasing a license key. The trial version includes all functions of the full version accept you can not use the software to add DVDs to your library and can only view the first 5 DVDs in your collection.
