Has anyone come across some good DVD archiving programs or sites. I have over 400 DVDs that I would like to catalog... I am looking for something that is a bit "painless", and non-tedious...any suggestions??

Any suggestions you may have would be helpful...

dvdspot.com is good as an online method. There's another thread here somewhere with a few of us using it.

If you have ideas you can speak with the author, it exports collections, imports batches, searches a fairly large international db, and it has a buddy system.
