Supported Media:  

All My Movies supports a broad selection of media formats including DVD, Blu-ray and VHS. It also supports CD, VCD and hard drive. Perhaps the only addition we could suggest is more specific HDD file formats like AVI or DivX.

Features Set:  

DVD Upload

With All My Movies you can automatically or manually upload your movie collection.

You can automatically upload movies using their title, barcode or even entering it into your DVD-Rom. When you put in the appropriate information All My Movies queries IMDB for your DVD details, (cast, director, runtime) and DVD Empire for cover art and screenshots.

This two step process, although not difficult, is a tad annoying especially since we didn’t see anything that prompted you to perform each step. It just felt like you were uploading the same movie twice.

Although you can search by title we highly suggest you use the barcode whenever possible. Since All My Movies queries IMDB your search results can be quite vast. A cumbersome glitch we discovered with All My Movies is it does not have a preview before you import your movie. You don’t realize how necessary this feature is until you place vague or common title in the search bar and suddenly you’re not really sure which version displayed is your movie.

Additionally, we have some mixed feelings about the All My Movies handles television programs. Again, since you are importing from IMDB television series are not split into specific seasons. However, we did like that when you downloaded the series information it included episode summaries. It was a nice bonus.

We found you can add addition online databases to your queries but you have to assign these manually.

You can also upload titles from a TWAIN scanner, but we were unable to find anything in the help files explaining exactly how this feature worked.

DVD Details

Like most DVD Collection Software you can add all kinds of additional DVD information including personal rating, codecs, aspect ratio, screen shots and more. You can also add the movie’s price, add a trailer link and if the movie is on your hard drive a local path to access your film directly from All My Movies.

We did notice that you can’t really specify a DVD’s special features, or assign multiple titles to a box set.

Search Filters

It was interesting to find that All My Movies search filters aren’t that impressive, however, its simplicity makes it quiet easy to use, especially for novices and you can search in multiple ways.

You can easily search for movies by genre, or use the quick filter for titles on your wishlist, on loan, or overdue. You can also search for movies by just typing in the title, actor, director, year and more in the Search Movie dialog box or using the View button on the tool bar.

We really like the suggest title feature that randomly chooses a movie for you to watch,

Additional Features

All My Movies’ additional features include exporting your collection list to a portable device like a PDA or Smartphone by using Microsoft ActiveSync.

You can also set the software with a password, upload adult titles, and attach plug-ins.

Import/Export

As soon as you launch All My Movies it will inform you, if you have DVD Profiler installed that it can transfer your database from DVD Profiler to All My Movies. However, you have to contact support to perform this task. All My Movies also supports databases from Movie Collector and CATVids.

Other import features include XML, Excel and TXT. You can export your All My Movies database to PDF, Execl, HTML and TXT.
