My savior!

As you may know I use DVDProfiler to register my DVD's, and for a couple of months I didn't register because I got sick of typing in all the numbers - But after some time I had to register again, but that left about 400 DVD's that didn't get registered, but now it can be done very easily with the help of my new Symbol LS4008i:


This is a Barcode scanner with a USB cable, which is compatible with most new computers with Windows. I got the black one. I don't order so many DVD's that I need this, but it will make the DVD registration easier, faster and more fun and I can also register the DVD's I didn't register a couple of months ago.

The reason why I register is not to be a show off, but so I can keep track of all the movies I buy. Of course I also keep them in the shelves, so I can just take a peek at them whenever I want, but I also like keeping a register on the computer.

This should be compatible with DVDProfiler, but I don't know about other DVD registration software.

I predict that soon every person in Norway will have a bar-code on their neck so the state can control you!

HEY! Not nice, danish.

The state can never control me. .. Or they actually do it now because I'm out of work. But I get some of my monthly income because im slick.

My saviour was a Gryphon D100, an old one I got for free at my work (I work at an archiving company). So I could finish adding my movies to DVD Aficinado in just one weekend! :)

Hey Fred.

Yeah, It's great having a barcode scanner. DVD registration is so much faster now!

The only bad thing about it is that I scan everything in the house when I'm really really bored. Today I scanned all my beer bottles! Hehe

Jack J said...

You have like 700 un-watched video tapes from Greece and you scan beer bottles??? Haha.

Patrick B said...

Haha. My ex rental collection ain't that huge, Jack. But yes, I do have a lot of un-watched VHS tapes. I haven't even seen Rambu yet :O

But I also have a lot of un-watched DVD's.

But the reason why I haven't seen many of them lately is because I don't have them here right now. If I'd have them here, I would watch them!

All the scanned beer is in my belly now, so I didn't just scan them, as you can see with my recent posts at AVMANIACS.
