What if there is no definite naming convention? I have thousand of download files with no fix convention and I'm trying to fidn a way to scan the file name and compare to my PVD movie database and link the file that are most likely related to the PVD entry. Last time I tried to use the scan file feature, it messed up alot of stuff and created alot of new entry.

But it says Scan folder for new movie /path, won't it be adding a lot of movie it would find or duplicate?

Is there a way to automatically scan and link to the file on the HDD? Like PVD would take all the movie title one by one and compare to the file found on the hard disk and link to the one that is the file that is the most similar to the movie title from the PVD database?

Thanks

That would be weird as I have just download PVD less than 6 days ago... It's getting so frustrating, I just added about 300 movie, and it download poster and info on 2 different process with me required to select each one from a list and then it analyzed the media information and codec info and it just display the file info now and no movie descriptions at all! So I just wasted 2 day of clicking. I got to say I was excited to switch to a free software but it's either buggy or me not knowing enough.

I agree about it taking time. I just started transferring my movie collector database to PVD and decided to stop messing around trying to import all the cover from my old database (since there is really no automatic way to do it) and just imported the movie list so I could start fresh (some of my cover were bad quality). Before, if I wanted to do that on MC, I would have to go through all my movies but it would import the cover and movie info all at the same time and then it was done. I was stunned after going trough my 450 movies and getting the cover added to realize I needed to go trough all of that again to import the information as a separate process! I then redid it again to import from IMDB only to realized that it was only importing the IMDB url and not the info! Now I need to start again to get the info from allmymovie... I'm really not sure if I want to start over again clicking and selecting for 2 hours when it's all set up on movie collector, I thought I was doing a good thing switching over but now I don't know. Maybe there's something I'm missing but I can't see how people could have needed to stay hour in front of their computer clicking hundred of time per minute to add their movie...
