New York Times: DVDs? I Don't Rent. I Own. by WILSON ROTHMAN 2/26/04
The main point of this article is that people are buying DVDs and not renting them. Basically, it's cheaper to by a DVD for ~$12 at Wal-Mart than rent one and then pay late fees, etc. The problem is that many collectors have 500+ titles so they need a way to file, search, and retrieve them. {This is where the library part starts} Products mentioned are Guzzlefish, ReaderwareVW, DVD Profiler, DVD Aficionado. These products offer a wide variety of support. Some have databases of videos pre-cataloged (so you kind of copy catalog), others are just empty forms where you have to enter the information. Many also work with barcode scanners. Hmm. This fits into the list of things Clark was going to cover (see earlier post)  ¶ 9:12 AM| |cites (technorati) |
