Please don't give up because of the occasional crashes. I've found the origin of the problem (it's related with the pictures download), and it should be fixed in a week or two (I must replace the http transfer library that I'm currently using, with another one more reliable). When you talk about linking your database, are you talking about the automatic video files scanning ? If so, were there some movies that surprisingly didn't link automatically, or was it normal because your titles are in some foreign language ? Rolo, thank you very much for your nice comments !

So give it a try if even at first it doesn't look great! When I searched my database it got most of the films, it didn't get about a fifth of it which you can link yourself anyway. It's crashed afew times on me so far but it's so worth it. I would advise anybody with a movie collection to try it out, I've tried countless movie database systems and this is the best i've come across. Thank you Movie Coollector! I shall re-discover my movie collection :D Okay,

If there are other things after the movie title ("DVDRIP" or anything), it doesn't interfere. At the end of the scanning, you get a report of the files that couldn't be matched automatically. You have the possibility to match those files manually, one by one. The folder scanning looks at the first words of the file name, until it finds the longest match to a movie title.
