Metadata grabbers for built-in DVD Library.
I’ve seen a rash of new tools for grabbing the necessary information that the built-in DVD Library in VMC and 7MC need lately and thought I’d post them here since they’re really quite nice (even though I’ve never used the built-in library).
First, is the DVDXML.com Windows Client by kleinma over at TGB.
It looks very nice, right? Check it out over at TGB using the above link or download directly here.
Next, we have a utility created for 7MC by Woodbark, also found over at TGB. This tool is called My Movie Finder for 7MC, and while not as heavy on the eye candy as the previous utility, it can still get the job done well.
Finally, we have the DVDLibraryTool byClever Technologies. There is a thread for it over at TGB also. This application, however, is commercialized and NOT FREE! Why anyone would pay for this when we have the previous tools now available is beyond me. There is also the DVD Library Manager for VMC by taranu that has been around forever. This utility is also only good for the VMC Library, not 7MC. Anyway, cost is $20 for the licensed version.
These tools kind of make me want to give 7MC and the built-in library another look…

Please look at the feature list for DVD Library Tool (http://www.clevertec.co.uk/productsutilities.htm). I think you’ll find this software does more than all the free utilities put together.
We’ll be putting up a comparison chart of all the DVD Library software we’re aware of soon.

Fair enough. I’ll be looking forward to the comparison and I’ll even give it a try when I give Win7 another shot (after the release of the RC).
