Using CATVids you can quickly catalog your movies by downloading information from the Internet. Designed for the Windows environment, CATVids is comprehensive, intuitive, and easy to use.

You can work with an unlimited number of databases. This means you can split your collection into different catalogs. CATVids allows you to change the data field names to suit your personal preferences. You can also hide the data fields you don't want to use.
