Feature ticklist
| ü | Easy to use! Concise interface, big bold buttons, tooltips, and lots of help provided. |
| ü | Can cope with thirty two thousand entries... ...if you think you might need that many! |
| ü | Up to twenty programmes per entity (video, DVD, etc). Many programmes out there are targetted towards purchased videos and DVDs, thus they only have a concept of one movie per video tape (DVD, etc). This is not terribly useful if you wish to keep track of those episodes of Buffy, Doctor Who, and Help! I'm a dummy passing as a Z-list celebrity! that you recently recorded... |
| ü | Supports many media types. VHS, ß, 8mm, VCD, DVD, as well as digital media (DivX, 3ivx, etc) on removable media. |
| ü | SP / LP For video tapes (VHS, ß, 8mm): VideoList supports Short Play (regular) and Long Play (extended). It can tell you at-a-glance how much free space should be on each tape. |
| ü | Programme status includes options such as "locked" (against
deletion) and "unwatched". |
| ü | Extended programme status includes aspect ratio, rating, three genre
choices, audio type, etc. |
| ü | You can enter a film's IMDb number for
quick access to all of the information provided by IMDb. When on-line, of course. |
| ü | Powerful filter system allows you to see only what you want to see. It works "inclusively", you can look at "horror"s as well as anything with "Jennifer Love Hewitt" in the description. It works "exclusively", you can look at VHS tapes with "Jean Rollin" in the description. |
| ü | Powerful filtering without programming! It is a point-n-click interface. You don't need to get to grips with nasty things like: if #video($).@title# .INC. "buffy" .OR. blah
blah blahwhich is, no doubt, quite powerful. It's also a heck of a learning curve just to see what you feel like watching tonight! |
| ü | Are you a Power User? Many of the lists (media types, ratings, genres, audio formats, etc...) are loaded from files and may be tweaked. |
| ü | Automatic upgrade Download the upgrade file and let VideoList 2 see it. It'll do the rest... (for basic security reasons, you must retrieve the upgrade file manually) |
| And - always important: |
|
| ü | Free updates for VideoList 2 will be made available from this
website. |
As VideoList 2 progresses, I'm sure this ticklist will increase. :-)
