Software to catalog 1080p x264 Blu-ray rips

**techtronic** · 01-26-11 at 06:00 PM

I am using excel spreadsheet to maintain the names along with the NFO in xlsx format for the time being which seems to be time consuming.

My requirement is not about fetching info from IMDb or adding Blu-ray covers but read an NFO file and update the details in a single line or in a CSV format which should contain the duration of the movie, number of audio channels, video resolution and release group name.

MatroskaDiag and MediaInfo provide me info about the integrity of the mkv file and the details respectively. I want an app that can combine the functionality of both these awesome apps.

I would appreciate if anyone can let me know of an app that could do what I am looking for.

You can also try XBMC with Xperience skin.

MediaInfo has a passable CLI, so you may be able to use it to output to a txt/nfo file, then use windows cli to manipulate the txt to the format you desire.
Hope this helps,,

@justice999 - I guess I will start with XBMC.

That's what i can see with XBMC :

Not enough info but its not ugly.

@justice999 - I don't keep the drives that contains the 1080p mkv files always connected to the system.

Would I be able to catalog them once using XBMC by updating the path of the movies and then safely disconnecting the disk ?

Thank you for responding promptly.

I do the same too, i have all my movie on external hdd, when you plug it, and then launch XBMC, it will automaticly detect the HDD and show you all the video inside it.
If you have new movie, you will have to scan them again.

@justice999 - Should I add the movie which is newly copied to the XBMC console or the entire lot again ?

@FirtY - Thanks for the link, awesome tut by skylinegtrv98. Let me check if I am able to catalog using XBMC and Media companion.

You dont have to use media companion, XBMC with Xperience will scan automaticly all your videos and find it automaticly in imdb.
If you have new videos, you can add the new folder or scan again the main folder but it wont take lot of time.
